“Better pick up Mr. Melas on our way,” I suggested. “We may need an interpreter.”*

Crewmates are reminded that the next Sailing is this day week (Sunday 27 October). The online Sailing Schedule has further details of this and on all our other Sailings. The current issue of Mayday Mayday (no.125, September) also carries additional information which is not accessible on our website.

Those intending to be on board and who do not yet have a copy of The Penguin Complete Sherlock Holmes (or its equivalent, the Doubleday) should take note that the online version of each Study Case, which uses this particular edition, is available to read on our website. You’ll find all the Cases for the current Season on the Sailing Schedule page.

If you have any queries, contact the Purser.
