Zabito go własnym jego harpunem, zdjętym ze ściany, nastąpiło to w nocy. Rodzina i sąsiedzi odetchnęli z ulgą, gdyż znany z alkoholizmu kapitan był postrachem okolicy. Zwano go Czarnym Piotrem zarówno od brody, jak i ponurego usposobienia. W kajucie na stole stała butelka rumu i dwie szklanki, co znaczyło, że kapitan miał gościa, był też mimo nocnej pory ubrany. U stóp zabitego leżał nóż w pochwie, wdowa rozpoznała go jako własność jej męża.

Człowiek z zegarkami. The Man with the Watches

Arthur Conan Doyle

Człowiek z zegarkami. The Man with the Watches. Książka w dwóch wersjach językowych: polskiej i angielskiej. A dual Polish-English language edition. Fragment książki: Niejeden zapewne pamięta jeszcze zagadkową sprawę, o której pod tytułem: ˝Tajemnica w Rugby˝, rozpisywały się dzienniki na wiosnę roku 1901. Ponieważ zdarzenie to przypadło w okresie wyjątkowej posuchy pod względem wiadomości politycznych i bieżących, więc może więcej ściągnęło uwagi, niż nawet było warto, i silnie pobudziło wyobraźnię ogółu. Zainteresowanie zmniejszyło się jednakże, gdy po całych tygodniach daremnych dochodzeń, nie znaleziono ostatecznego rozwiązania faktów, tak, że wypadek ten musiano zaliczyć do rzędu zbrodni niewytłumaczonych i nieukaranych. W ostatnich czasach nadesłano jednak, z niewątpliwie wiarogodnego źródła wyjaśnienie tajemnicy, której podstawowe fakty dobrze będzie dla przypomnienia powtórzyć... W Rugby uwagę urzędników zwróciła okoliczność, że drzwi jednego z przedziałów pierwszej klasy były otwarte. Zbadanie tego przedziału i sąsiedniego wykazało rzeczy dziwne. Zachęcamy, by dowiedzieć się co będzie dalej!
