'No, I couldn't do it, Watson,' said he, as we re entered our room. 'Once that warrant was made out, nothing on earth would save him. Once or twice in my career I feel that I have done more real harm by my discovery of the criminal than ever he had done by his crime. NO I COULDN'T DO IT WATSON SAID HE AS WE RE ENTERED THE ROOM ONCE THAT WARRANT WAS MADE OUT NOTHING ON EARTH WOULD SAVE HIM ONCE OR TWICE IN MY CAREER I FEEL THAT I HAVE DONE MORE REAL HARM BY MY DISCOVERY OF THE CRIMINAL THAN EVER HE HAD DONE BY HIS CRIME
ption. The first officer, Mr. Jack Crocker, had been made a captain and was to take charge of their new ship, the _Bass Rock_, sailing in two days' time from Southampton. He lived at Sydenham, but he was likely to be in that morning for instructions, if we cared to wait for him. No, Mr. Holmes had no desire to see him, but would be glad to know more about his record and character. His record was magnificent. There was not an officer in the fleet to touch him. As to his character, he was reliable on duty, but a wild, desperate fellow off the deck of his ship--hot-headed, excitable, but loyal, honest, and kind-hearted. That was the pith of the information with which Holmes left the office of the Adelaide-Southampton company. Thence he drove to Scotland Yard, but, instead of entering, he sat in his cab with his brows drawn down, lost in profound thought. Finally he drove round to the Charing Cross telegraph office, sent off a message, and then, at last, we made for Baker Street once more.
