Sherlock Holmes in New Guinea: Part the ultimo

ARTHUR CONAN KRANZ

HOLMES, WATSON, POLICEMAN VEX and Planter Howard burst into the Bita Paka telegraph station and confronted a squad of surprised German soldiers.

"Don't go for your weapons, gentlemen, you are surrounded!" said Watson, brandishing his revolver.

At this moment there was a distant roar followed quickly by a tremendous shaking of the ground as if the very air around them had erupted.

"Wir kapitulation!" shrieked the terrified German Kiapitan.

"Gentlemen, you are confronted by the might of the British imperial fleet. Surrender with honour!"

And so Holmes, Watson, Vex and Howard saved the South Pacific from domination by the Hun.

Watson - "Holmes, how did you know that the volcano was about to erupt?"

Holmes - "Elementary dear Watson. And now we have a score to settle with the lovely Ms Adler!"

Watson - "But Holmes, there's one of those newfangled submersible craft waiting to take us to safety! I believe it is based on the plans of Mr Bruce-Partington."

Holmes - "I think we'll take a slow boat home Watson."
