Sherlock Holmes (ACD): Aftermath

Regular readers of my tales in the pages of the Strand will not be surprised at what happened next.  Marlowe, having apparently escaped justice and eluded the police, took the decision to travel to the colonies.  We learnt of his departure on the SS Lady Anne Bailey, and I accordingly notified the local authorities who were on hand when the ship sank in the Bay of Biscay.  My concern was not for Marlowe, who escaped the hangman by drowning, but for the innocent crew and passengers who were also on the ship and did not deserve to share his fate.

The treacherous sea is a frequent feature in the epilogues!
