Sherlock Holmes

It was a warm day and Sherlock Holmes and his friend Watson were in their apartment when Holmes read a note from detective Lestrade. He said to go to Croydon. There he met Miss Susan Cushing on Cross street. She had  an odd package. It smelled like  the sea and was boxed by sandpaper. Twas holding two mismatched ears. Lestrade thought that this was a practical joke. Holmes said that it was a murder mystery.


Holmes said that it was from a ship. He found that one Jim Browner was a sailor on bad terms with Sarah Cushing and her husband. He found that the marks on the ears were from a sailors knife. Holmes had Lestrade arrest Jim Browner. Jim Browner was on the S.S. Mayday. He had a knife and almost attacked Lestrade. But the River police were already there. They cuffed Browner and took him away.
