<v Speaker 1>This episode from the life of Sherlock Holmes will be <v Speaker 1>transmitted to our men and women overseas by short wave <v Speaker 1>and through the worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service. <v Speaker 1>Petrie Wine brings you Lazil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce and <v Speaker 1>the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family, the <v Speaker 1>family that took time to bring you good wine. Invite <v Speaker 1>you to listen to doctor Watson tell us another exciting <v Speaker 1>adventure he shared with his old friend, that master Detective <v Speaker 1>Sherlock Holmes. And as for me, I'd like to tell <v Speaker 1>you that a time like right now is the perfect <v Speaker 1>time for a glass of Petrie California Port after you've <v Speaker 1>had a good dinner. Boy, if Petri Port is a <v Speaker 1>real top, that rich, deep red pet Report is really <v Speaker 1>an extraordinary wine, even its colors different. And as for <v Speaker 1>its flavor, well, it'll take a better man than me <v Speaker 1>to describe that Petreport is a hearty wine, sure, and <v Speaker 1>every other quality that you look for in a good <v Speaker 1>port you'll find in pet Report. And then some try <v Speaker 1>pat Report by itself, or serve it with fruit, with nuts, <v Speaker 1>or with cake. But share it with your friends. Will <v Speaker 1>you be cause you can't serve it proudly. After all, <v Speaker 1>it is a Petree wine, and that name Petrie is <v Speaker 1>the proudest name in the history of American wines. And <v Speaker 1>now let's visit our old friend and host, doctor Watson. <v Speaker 1>Good evening, mister Bato good anything, Doctor, set her surf <v Speaker 1>down and get your pipe going. Thanks doctor. Last week <v Speaker 1>you told us that tonight's story took place in the <v Speaker 1>Kasbar at Algiers. <v Speaker 2>Yes, the Casbah, I remember it as the place of <v Speaker 2>concass streets winding up and down past colorful cafes, where <v Speaker 2>a hundred tongues was spoken, and oftnes Street would end <v Speaker 2>in shadowy darkness which a man would be foolharder to <v Speaker 2>enter alone. <v Speaker 1>Yes, I tell that. <v Speaker 3>Was the cast, brother Charlick Holmes, and. <v Speaker 1>I knew in that winter of ninety nine. How did <v Speaker 1>you happen to be out there? Doctor? Do you mind <v Speaker 1>if I tell you the story from the start, mister Buttle, If. <v Speaker 3>Really began on a winter night to Baker Street, it's. <v Speaker 2>A conclusion of the strange murder in Monttrevor Castle. <v Speaker 1>A charming young girl sat on the sofa of. <v Speaker 2>Our lodgings in Baker Street. <v Speaker 4>Mister you can't feel have nothing more to do with another, Pdfield. <v Speaker 1>I found the poor murderer, the doctor cutters and committed suicide. <v Speaker 1>Surely the cases ended, Yes, mister Holmes, you found the <v Speaker 1>real murderer. <v Speaker 4>But now I wanted to find an unfortunate young man <v Speaker 4>who fleding them five years ago. <v Speaker 1>When he was suspected of a crime. Was a new development, Misturdfielder, <v Speaker 1>please tell us about it. <v Speaker 4>It's Douglas Milton that I'm talking about. <v Speaker 1>Oh, yes, yes, he was the heir of the title, <v Speaker 1>wasn't he, Yes, mister Holmes. <v Speaker 4>He was a sensitive artistic boy, and when he knew <v Speaker 4>that he was under suspicion, he ran away. Of course, <v Speaker 4>everyone regarded his flight as an admission of guilt, that <v Speaker 4>is until you found a real culprit, mister Holmes. <v Speaker 2>Imagine miss Streatfield, that your interest in the missing boy <v Speaker 2>is not entirely shall we say, altruistic. <v Speaker 4>I'm in love with him, doctor who we're engaged to <v Speaker 4>be married when he ran away. <v Speaker 1>Mister You've got to find him. He must know that his. <v Speaker 4>Name has been cleared and that he's inherited the title. <v Speaker 1>The Stretfield. Have you any direct news, any letter from <v Speaker 1>your fiance since he left five years ago. None any <v Speaker 1>clues as his hiding place. Only this. <v Speaker 4>It's a painting I received anonymously a year after he <v Speaker 4>had left. It was sent from a forwarding address in London. <v Speaker 1>Here it is, mister Jones, Thank you more oil painting, <v Speaker 1>very good one to sh Yes, the spendid sense of <v Speaker 1>composition and his use of color is unusually brilliant. You <v Speaker 1>recognize this painting as the work of your fiance, Miss Stutfield, <v Speaker 1>I'm certain of it. Yes, wonderful color serve the delicate <v Speaker 1>shadings of that sunset and the brilliant green of the oasis. <v Speaker 1>The scene is extraordinarily reminiscent the desert in North Africa. Yes, yes, <v Speaker 1>that's what made me say I was certainly gone abroad. <v Speaker 1>Mister Holnes, Why should he go to North Africa? A <v Speaker 1>good place? Watson le an English who imagines himself to <v Speaker 1>be escaping justice? Remember the peign Legion is stationed there. <v Speaker 4>You think he might have joined the legion, mister Holmes. <v Speaker 1>Would seemed logical, no question to ask for those who <v Speaker 1>join it, and its colorful obscurity might easily appeal to <v Speaker 1>a young fellow in trouble. Hello, what is it home? <v Speaker 1>Quite a few grains of sands between the canvas and <v Speaker 1>the frame. Here this Stutfield, you might have I tried <v Speaker 1>the canvas loose. <v Speaker 4>Do anything you like, mister Holmes, if it gives you <v Speaker 4>any included Douglass. <v Speaker 1>Whereby give me a pen knighte If he wasn't, thanks <v Speaker 1>so chap huh Here we are? Can you see anything? Ah? <v Speaker 1>Look the words an elaft Pune a stamped here sheriff <v Speaker 1>is probably the framer's name, and a laft pun is <v Speaker 1>a town comes fifty miles from Alders that settles it. <v Speaker 1>Miss Struttfield, accept your case, Watson, and I will go <v Speaker 1>to Africa and try to find your fiance, Douglas Nelson. <v Speaker 1>Missus Sheila Cone, send doctor Watts. I have heard of <v Speaker 1>you so often, but I never thought I should see <v Speaker 1>you here at the headquarters something foreign legion. What can <v Speaker 1>I do for you, gentlemen? Well, Colonel Prison, I'm trying <v Speaker 1>to place an Englishman who has been missing during the <v Speaker 1>past four years. I have reason to believe that he <v Speaker 1>might have joined the legion. Eh. I should look in <v Speaker 1>my records. Let me see four years ago with the <v Speaker 1>eighteen ninety five If Sheela Cones is tracking him. Then <v Speaker 1>I suppose he was in trouble in his own country. <v Speaker 1>If he was in trouble, he might easily have come <v Speaker 1>to us. We ask no questions. Ninety seven months ninety five. <v Speaker 1>In that year three young Englishmen joined us. One of <v Speaker 1>them died of dysentery two years ago, and see their rage. <v Speaker 1>One of them deserted eighty months ago, and we have <v Speaker 1>been unable to praise him. He turned his magical Who <v Speaker 1>brought you into my officers? Now? As he is? I <v Speaker 1>would say about three inches shorter than Douglas Milton. And <v Speaker 1>men do not swak the foreign leature day, Colonel, they <v Speaker 1>do not miss yours. And the fellow who deserted must <v Speaker 1>be our man, unless it's the one who died of dysentery. <v Speaker 1>Colonel de Brisson, how would you advise us to say <v Speaker 1>about trying to find a deserter, Miss Holmes? There's only <v Speaker 1>one place in Algeria where a man can hide from <v Speaker 1>the final legion and remaining. What's that place? The Caspai <v Speaker 1>in Lgs, and that's our destination. Watson't be very careful, please, gentlemen. <v Speaker 1>The Cosby is a place where the law is exiled. <v Speaker 1>The police have no jurisdiction there. The only rule is <v Speaker 1>that of strength, violence, and very cautious. I assure you <v Speaker 1>good bye, Colonel Brison, and thank you for your help. <v Speaker 2>Well, I must say that I think Colonel de Briston rather. <v Speaker 1>Exaggerated the dangers of the kaspar. <v Speaker 3>I suppose you're going to tell me this cafe is <v Speaker 3>the headquarters for a. <v Speaker 1>Dope smuggling ring, or like slaving or something. It's ramifications <v Speaker 1>even more extensive than those you've mentioned. You're joking home. <v Speaker 1>I assure you I'm not, old fellow. My old friend <v Speaker 1>Juamo is the chief of police officers. When I told <v Speaker 1>him I mission, he advised me to come here a <v Speaker 1>five hundred franc note, and the proparer can obtain any <v Speaker 1>and all information regarding the underworld, but as little as <v Speaker 1>two hundred francs in original murder. So I give you <v Speaker 1>an idea of the relative values the kaspar who loved <v Speaker 1>Then you've already spoken to the propano. Oh yes, yes, <v Speaker 1>a charming scoundrel, the fellow to the name of Raffi. <v Speaker 1>I gave him five hundred francs and asked him to <v Speaker 1>city his underworld Greek by in motion to see whether <v Speaker 1>an Englishman living and hiding here in the kasbar could <v Speaker 1>be found. I thought you'd come here with a quat meal. Say, <v Speaker 1>I'm RAPPI now top has new prus jelly a RAPI <v Speaker 1>come to dam? Won't you ask you? What's fast? Does enough? <v Speaker 5>Mister Holmes eight years friends, my friend that you're working <v Speaker 5>with me. I drink first. The tongue of raffee is fast. <v Speaker 5>Would you have me die of first before I give <v Speaker 5>you my news? <v Speaker 1>Very more cassis? Huh you have news for me then? <v Speaker 1>But yes, first you will pay me more money. Now <v Speaker 1>I give you five hundred. Thanks. You said that you <v Speaker 1>do the job for that. Can I help it? If <v Speaker 1>some tongues are more costly to make wag than others. <v Speaker 1>It took the five hundred. <v Speaker 5>To get the wag. Am I to have nothing for <v Speaker 5>my own trouble or very RAPPI par good good, Hey, <v Speaker 5>the gentleman. <v Speaker 1>Will pay for hey are missing? I will drink to <v Speaker 1>your health. Gentlemen, both of you you will pay me <v Speaker 1>more money. <v Speaker 2>No, but my friends already given you five hundred. You <v Speaker 2>should stick to your bar. <v Speaker 5>My good fellow, my information is a bargain at seven <v Speaker 5>hundred and fifty tanks. It would be a bar at <v Speaker 5>one thousand, but Raffie will let you have it for <v Speaker 5>seven hundred and fifty because he likes you. <v Speaker 1>You will give it to me, nous. <v Speaker 5>Then you get no information, and perhaps I spread news <v Speaker 5>in the casbar that makes it uncomfortable for you gentlemen <v Speaker 5>to be there. <v Speaker 1>Well, Scott, this is blackmail. I get the money. No, <v Speaker 1>you're a scandal, of course, I'm miss here's your money <v Speaker 1>and information. There is it. <v Speaker 5>The englishman hiding here in the casbar. I do not <v Speaker 5>know his name, but he's stolen fair head. I cannot <v Speaker 5>tell you where he lives. But if you go to <v Speaker 5>the cafe of one thousand size, you will find a girl. <v Speaker 1>Loose things there. A girl lose sings like a nightingale. <v Speaker 1>Her name is Ayisha, and she can lead you to <v Speaker 1>your English girl named Asha the cafe of a thousand size. <v Speaker 1>That is right. <v Speaker 5>I would suggest that you go there in dis guys. <v Speaker 5>Two well dressed englishmen might find themselves in trouble. For <v Speaker 5>a small feet, say two hundred francs, I will escort. <v Speaker 1>Thank you. Yes, I think we can manage by ourselves. Rockey. <v Speaker 5>Oh well, if your business is completed quickly and time <v Speaker 5>weighs heavy on your hands, and I think it can <v Speaker 5>take you to some places of very interesting dancing pros <v Speaker 5>that wither want's eyeballs with their beauty. <v Speaker 1>For five hundred francs. Gentlemen, Thank you, thank you. I <v Speaker 1>have a feeling that I will not way heavily on <v Speaker 1>our hands. Good night. You work too hard, gentlemen. You <v Speaker 1>should learn how to play good night on my soul. <v Speaker 1>I think that follows the biggest blagod. I quite agree <v Speaker 1>with Jepany. He is amusing. By the way, Holmes it <v Speaker 1>do you. <v Speaker 3>Think that when this case is finished we might have <v Speaker 3>a time on our hand? <v Speaker 1>Wat And you're incorrigible, but I think, what's what is it? <v Speaker 1>The man's sitting over in the corner by himself, Hi, Joe. Yes, <v Speaker 1>his face seems familiar. We've seen him before someone of <v Speaker 1>course we know his name is Oliver Leaving. We met <v Speaker 1>him at the inquest on the Montreiler case, so we <v Speaker 1>did I want knows do you suppose he's doing here <v Speaker 1>in the Castler not on a holiday? I'm firm, mister <v Speaker 1>Oliver Leaning if you recall us a cousin that Douglas <v Speaker 1>Milton's the management men. We are searching for If Multon <v Speaker 1>were ever a declared lidid, mister leaning over, there would inherit. <v Speaker 2>The title looks to me as if we're not the <v Speaker 2>only people in the casper who are searching for the <v Speaker 2>missing air. <v Speaker 1>That's true, brother, Come on, he's going to talk to <v Speaker 1>the gentleman Starliver leaving Iry ought to meet you here?

Why are you here, Mistimingo, <v Speaker 1>I'm making a business trip. This is my day, or <v Speaker 1>as I recall it, you are in the publishing business. Correct? <v Speaker 1>What a memory you would have? It seems secular that <v Speaker 1>you should have been on a business trip here. Are <v Speaker 1>you planning on opening a publishing house and out jairs <v Speaker 1>or are you searching the cosmos and new authors? Why not? <v Speaker 1>I'm a great believer in encouraging new talent. Mister Living, <v Speaker 1>Why don't you admit the charge here for the express <v Speaker 1>purpose of trying to find your cousin, Douglas Milton's. Mister Holmes, <v Speaker 1>you've discovered my secret. The great Shararck Homes and his <v Speaker 1>watch dog have their eight eyes on me. They know <v Speaker 1>that I succeed to the title if Douglas Milton died. Yes, <v Speaker 1>mister leaving me know that fact. And you have fathomed <v Speaker 1>my plan to find Douglas before me and killing so <v Speaker 1>that I may inherit the title. How lucky I am <v Speaker 1>to meet you in more Haasba or you cannot arrest me. Well, <v Speaker 1>so it's against time, gentlemen, but I have a head start, <v Speaker 1>as you will soon find out. Goodbye, I'm the best <v Speaker 1>of luck for you, strewing the full of He's joking, <v Speaker 1>of course, I believe not Watson. I think he labors <v Speaker 1>under the physical belief that the best method of discounting <v Speaker 1>the truth is to stated as boldly so that it <v Speaker 1>will not be believed. Great Captain, we must work fast, yes, <v Speaker 1>or Jepri must. I'm sure the very entrance in a <v Speaker 1>race against death m skip back to the hotel.

Remember first Petree, then Muscatel, Petree Muscatel. Well, <v Speaker 1>doctor I can hardly wait to hear what happened next. <v Speaker 1>You and Sherlock Holmes went back to the hotel. <v Speaker 2>I suppose, yes, ttell Holmes quickly adopted the disguise of <v Speaker 2>an Arab guide.

We have good news <v Speaker 1>for him.

Now do you do so? This <v Speaker 1>is very exciting. Here's that education costs? For a drinker? <v Speaker 1>Will it be, gentlemen? I think a glass of port? Yes, <v Speaker 1>it would be the most appropriate. Thod toasting the New <v Speaker 1>Earth on trailer, splendid, splendid, aisha spring glasses and. <v Speaker 8>A bottle of port and some kremdmouth for me. <v Speaker 3>You are not going to England. <v Speaker 1>I will never let you leave me, no stopping some <v Speaker 1>melodramatic eyesha. Please bring two bottles and some glasses. Very well. <v Speaker 1>I am sorry, mister Holmes. <v Speaker 8>I can't tell you how I appreciate your trouble in <v Speaker 8>coming all this way to find me. I must tell <v Speaker 8>you at once there's one problem that makes it difficult for. <v Speaker 1>Me to do this country. You see, I deserted from <v Speaker 1>foreign engunyars, he says. We know that, my boy. In fact, <v Speaker 1>that's how we first got onto your trail. I shouldn't <v Speaker 1>let that back, wiriyam, miss Milton. I'm certain the British <v Speaker 1>consul and now Jairs can arrange to have any charges <v Speaker 1>dropped against the peerod of the realm oh I thought <v Speaker 1>of that. <v Speaker 8>The bottles you must excuse the glasses, gentlemen, tumblers are <v Speaker 8>hardly I suppose that, well, they won't spoil the flavor. <v Speaker 1>I'm sure two glasses of. <v Speaker 8>Port and uh crimbed amount to me only three glasses. <v Speaker 1>Aisha, bring a glass for yourself. I do not wish <v Speaker 1>to drink, and I insist that you do bring a glass. Asia, <v Speaker 1>Why should I drink? If you are leaving? Milton? Do <v Speaker 1>you know all about leaving? Oh? <v Speaker 8>Of course is my cousin, as he came here half <v Speaker 8>an hour ago and threatened me. <v Speaker 1>You also know that he's lying dead in the street murdered. <v Speaker 8>Oh yes, yes, I did if we went in the <v Speaker 8>cars bar I wouldn't tell you this, but Aisha stabbed him. <v Speaker 8>She followed him when he left here He'll live, and <v Speaker 8>then stepped back just in time to sing a song <v Speaker 8>a few moments ago. Oh you needn't look so shocked, <v Speaker 8>doctor Watson. Life is cheap in the cosper, and Naisha <v Speaker 8>is a girl of violent passions. Come on, let's let's <v Speaker 8>drink attest to the new Earl of Montraba cat. <v Speaker 1>Oh, excuse me, sir, you took the wrong glass. You <v Speaker 1>drinking my foot silliness. <v Speaker 8>I can't bear what they English of me, I'm afraid, <v Speaker 8>but well, after all these years, I don't feel particularly English. <v Speaker 8>In fact, I'll probably find it very hard to adjust <v Speaker 8>myself to the old life when I go back, Or <v Speaker 8>perhaps I should say, if I go back and. <v Speaker 1>To feel that way about it, mister Milton, why go? <v Speaker 1>You can take title the revenues of the estate without <v Speaker 1>leading Algeria, but stay here and live on the income. <v Speaker 1>I didn't realize that would be possible. You sure I <v Speaker 1>could do that? Oh, yes, I'm quite certain of it. <v Speaker 1>But if you doubt my word, I suggest be all <v Speaker 1>adjourned to the British Consulate and our jeers they can <v Speaker 1>put your straight on the mat on. That's a good idea. <v Speaker 1>Let's go over there at once. No, no, I've been <v Speaker 1>listening to you, my friend. You are planning to leave <v Speaker 1>me once you go from the cause, but I shall <v Speaker 1>never see you again. Put down that night, by issue, <v Speaker 1>I will not let you go. You will belong to me. <v Speaker 8>If you try to leave me now, I will kill <v Speaker 8>you down that night, by issue. You've done enough damage <v Speaker 8>for one night. <v Speaker 1>Down. She twisted the knife on herself as she fell, <v Speaker 1>Holmes helping me to turn her over. She's dead, mister Milton, <v Speaker 1>who are you sure it's the bloody path that leads <v Speaker 1>to the Montrevor title. Sir, I suggest to you see <v Speaker 1>that the poor girl's body is taken care of, and <v Speaker 1>then go to the British Consulate. About any further delay. <v Speaker 1>Now that we're at the Consolateitor Milton, I suggest that <v Speaker 1>you swear on oath that you are Douglas Milton, heir <v Speaker 1>to the Montrevorer's state. This gentleman as a commissioner of oaths, <v Speaker 1>and we can go in and see the console. Very well, <v Speaker 1>rise right hand please and repeat after me. I hereby <v Speaker 1>solemnly swear that I am Douglas Milton, the missing here <v Speaker 1>to the montreevoy State. <v Speaker 8>I hear, I swear that I am Douglas Milton, missing <v Speaker 8>heir to the Montrevora's State. <v Speaker 1>Thank you, sir, And now if you'll sign the statement <v Speaker 1>here these gentlemen the witnessing are you huh? Thank you sir. <v Speaker 1>And now if you gentlemen will sign certainly? Now, thank you, gentlemen. <v Speaker 1>The document is now legal splendid. Let's go over and <v Speaker 1>see the console. Not yet, my friend Watson, this man <v Speaker 1>is not Douglas Milton. What the devil are you talking about? <v Speaker 1>There is no law on the cast Bowser, so you <v Speaker 1>cannot be punished in the two mirrors' committed there. But <v Speaker 1>now that your avarice has tempted you here to Algiers, <v Speaker 1>where you've been foolish enough to sign a false statement, <v Speaker 1>I think we can at least settle you very nicely <v Speaker 1>for desertion, false impersonation, forchery and perjury. What do you <v Speaker 1>mean the story should be of this book? Fellow alaplinin <v Speaker 1>did track down the deserter. Recognition was uncertain after so <v Speaker 1>many years, but at least it gave this gentleman the <v Speaker 1>idea of impersonating the real Douglas Milton, a friend of his. <v Speaker 8>You have a lively imagination stone real Douglas Milton. <v Speaker 1>I'd have dysentery two years ago and see their rife. <v Speaker 1>Was the idea of impersonating noteson was born leaning had <v Speaker 1>to die. <v Speaker 8>Your theories are very interesting, but you haven't a shred <v Speaker 8>of proof.
