:44:00
Here, put your arm
around my neck.

:44:01
That's it old chap.
:44:03
Mr. Holmes you
must find Nancy.

:44:04
Quite.
:44:06
Poor Peter.
:44:10
That girl disappeared
:44:12
right from
under our noses.

:44:13
It's unbelievable.
:44:15
I better try to
trace that truck.

:44:16
That won't lead
us anywhere.

:44:18
Our antagonist is too
clever for that

:44:20
but the girl must be
found immediately.

:44:22
You're sure the
police chemist

:44:24
found nothing definite
:44:25
in their examination
of the trunk?

:44:27
Not one thing
pertinent to the case.

:44:28
What about Grayson's body
:44:30
and the blanket
it was wrapped in?

:44:31
Nothing.
:44:32
Every object connected
with this case

:44:33
has some kind
of story to tell.

:44:35
Do you think
they'd mind if...

:44:38
The laboratory is
:44:40
completely at your
disposal Mr. Holmes.

:44:41
Thank you.
:44:42
Doctor Watson and I
will go there at once.

:44:44
The usual findings on
the trunk Mr. Holmes.

:44:46
Bought in Washington,
:44:47
been banged about
a good deal,

:44:49
all labels removed.
:44:50
And the body?
:44:51
No marks of any kind.
:44:53
Very well.
:44:54
If you need me call.
:44:55
Thank you.
:45:00
Watson please.
:45:02
Just tidying up a bit.
:45:04
This blanket is beginning
to tell me many things.

:45:05
Oh really, you
don't say so.

:45:08
It only remains to
translate them properly.

:45:11
Yes, just as I thought.
:45:14
This blanket has had
a most varied history.

:45:16
It's been on a
many a sea voyage.

:45:18
The latest not
six months ago.

:45:21
Since then
it has been used

:45:22
to wrap a
multiplicity of objects.

:45:24
Carvings of teak wood,
:45:27
candle snuffs
made of pewter...

:45:37
and furniture.
:45:39
Furniture?
:45:40
Yes.
:45:41
Teak wood leaves an
unmistakable stain.

:45:42
Pewter rubs off easily
:45:44
and there is evidence
of wax drippings

:45:47
but what particularly
concerns us Watson

:45:49
is the furniture.
:45:51
Most likely a chair.
:45:53
Louis the XV,
:45:55
in yellow
and maroon satin.

:45:57
What do all these things
suggest to you Watson?
