In the case of Pondicherry, seven weeks elapsed between the threat and its fulfilments.
In Dundee it was only some three or four days.
Does that suggest anything?
A greater distance to travel.
But the letter also had a greater distance to come.
then i do not see the point there is at least a presumption that the vessel in which the man or men are is a sailing ship it looks as if they always send their singular warning or token before them when starting upon their mission you see how quickly the deed followed the sign when it came from dundee
If they had come from Pondicherry in a steamer, they would have arrived almost as soon as their letter.
But as a matter of fact, seven weeks elapsed.
I think that those seven weeks represented the difference between the mail-boat which brought the letter, and the sailing-vessel which brought the writer.
It is possible.
More than that it is probable.
And now you see the deadly urgency of this new case, and why I urged young Openshaw to caution.
The blow has always fallen at the end of the time which it would take the senders to travel the distance.
But this one comes from London, and therefore we cannot count upon delay.'
"'Good God!'
I cried.
"'What can it mean, this relentless persecution?'
The papers which Openshaw carried are obviously of vital importance to the person or persons in the sailing-ship.
I think that it is quite clear that there must be more than one of them.
A single man could not have carried out two deaths in such a way as to deceive a coroner's jury.
