“What
of
this
‘Cooee!’
then?”
“Well,
obviously
it
could
not
have
been
meant
for
the
son.
The
son,
as
far
as
he
knew,
was
in
Bristol.
It
was
mere
chance
that
he
was
within
earshot.
The
‘Cooee!’
was
meant
to
attract
the
attention
of
whoever
it
was
that
he
had
the
appointment
with.
But
‘Cooee’
is
a
distinctly
Australian
cry,
and
one
which
is
used
between
Australians.
There
is
a
strong
presumption
that
the
person
whom
McCarthy
expected
to
meet
him
at
Boscombe
Pool
was
someone
who
had
been
in
Australia.”
“What
of
the
rat,
then?”
Sherlock
Holmes
took
a
folded
paper
from
his
pocket
and
flattened
it
out
on
the
table.
“This
is
a
map
of
the
Colony
of
Victoria,”
he
said.
“I
wired
to
Bristol
for
it
last
night.”
He
put
his
hand
over
part
of
the
map.
“What
do
you
read?”
“ARAT,”
I
read.
“And
now?”
He
raised
his
hand.
“BALLARAT.”
“Quite
so.
That
was
the
word
the
man
uttered,
and
of
which
his
son
only
caught
the
last
two
syllables.
He
was
trying
to
utter
the
name
of
his
murderer.
So
and
so,
of
Ballarat.”
