A property which dulls the senses of most people renders mine doubly apprehensive; therefore, gentlemen, while to you there was no auricular disturbance, to me there was. I heard Shem sliding down the mast a minute since. The fact that he slid down the mast instead of climbing down the rigging showed that he was in great haste, therefore he must have something to communicate of great importance.” “Why isn’t he here already, then? It wouldn’t take him two minutes to get from the deck here,” asked the ever-auspicious Le Coq. “It is simple,” returned Holmes, calmly. “If you will go yourself and slide down that mast you will see. Shem has stopped for a little witch-hazel to soothe his burns. It is no cool matter sliding down a mast two hundred feet in height.” As Sherlock Holmes spoke the door burst open and Shem rushed in. “A signal of distress, captain!” he cried. “From what quarter—to larboard?” asked Holmes. “No,” returned Shem, breathless.
