The Adventure of the 'Gloria Scott' (Unabridged‪)‬

The fifth story from Doyle's Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (The Strand magazine, 1893) reveals the roots of the detective's foray into criminology and his very first case as a young college student, when the death of his school chum's father unearths a terrible, tragic series of events upon the high seas, of plotting and murder, of betrayal - and the man's long-hidden secrets of another life.
