Mycroft is aided by his younger brother Sherlock, Victor Trevor ( who appears in Doyle's tale " The Adventure of the Gloria Scott "), and an adventurer known as " Captain Jericho ", a mysterious former slave.

" The Adventure of the ' Gloria Scott ,'" one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.

The 1946 film Dressed to Kill with Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Watson is a very loose adaptation of the The Adventure of the Gloria Scott.

Gloria Scott, The Adventure of the

pt: The Adventure of the " Gloria Scott "

It was written by Scott Adams and published by Adventure International.

This was the first of numerous young-adult fiction books based on space adventures ( including the late 1970s series the Scott Saunders Space Adventure ); he did write a more adult novel as well as a farce novel titled Ancient Lights, though he did not wish to find a publisher for either work.

Adventure International, owned by Scott and Lexis Adams, had been an early competitor of Infocom, but they went out of business long before Infocom had hit their stride.

Scott Adams ( born July 10, 1952 ) is the co-founder, with ex-wife Alexis, of Adventure International, an early publisher of games for home computers.

In the beginning Adventure Soft operated out of Birmingham converting the Adventure International games by Scott Adams to run on microcomputers found in the United Kingdom market which were not currently supported.

" The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge " was originally in two parts: " The Singular Experience of Mr. John Scott Eccles " and " The Tiger of San Pedro ".

The games were designed by Scott Adams, developed and published by Adventure International and the first was originally released in 1984 for the Atari 800, Apple II, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 with the sequels being published each following year.

The fourth title in the series was to include the X-Men-this game was partly coded by Scott Adams but never saw the light of day as a published game, as Adventure International became bankrupt during its development in 1985.

The author's expedition was led by the famed guide Rob Hall, and there were other groups trying to summit on the same day, including one led by Scott Fischer, whose guiding agency, Mountain Madness, was perceived as a competitor to Rob Hall's agency, Adventure Consultants.

In mid-1987, he was credited with inks to " Brian Guice "'s pencils for five issues of Adventure Publications ' Adventurers, which was written and edited by Scott Behnke.

Namba, fellow client Beck Weathers, and their guide Mike Groom from Adventure Consultants and clients from Scott Fischer's Mountain Madness were stuck on the South Col, while a whiteout prevented them from knowing where the tents lay.

He played a commercial ship's captain, David Scott, and Paul Burke played his partner, Jeff Kittridge, in five episodes of the series, which aired first on CBS and then ABC under the revised title Adventure at Scott Island.

Holmes also tells Watson, in " A Case of Identity ", of a golden snuff box received from the King of Bohemia after " A Scandal in Bohemia " and a fabulous ring from the Dutch royal family ; in " The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans ", Holmes receives an emerald tie-pin from Queen Victoria.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure tells the story of Pee-wee Herman embarking on nation-wide adventure in search of his stolen bicycle.

In Adventure 3 Hagen tells how Siegfried came by chance upon the two sons of the king of the Nibelungs who had just died.

The Venus Adventure tells of an early flight to Venus and the surprising world the crew of the Fyra discover.

For instance, in " The Adventure of the Three Garridebs ", Watson is wounded in a confrontation with a villain ; although the bullet wound proves to be " quite superficial ", Watson is moved by Holmes's reaction:

The detective is often described as starving himself at times of intense intellectual activity, such as during " The Adventure of the Norwood Builder ", wherein, according to Watson:

Holmes himself references Watson's moderation in " The Adventure of the Devil's Foot ", saying, " I think, Watson, that I shall resume that course of tobacco-poisoning which you have so often and so justly condemned ".

However, Watson did not condone Holmes's plans when they manipulated innocent people, such as when he toyed with a young woman's heart in " The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton " although it was done with noble intentions to save many other young women from the clutches of the villainous Milverton.

Although he initially needed Watson to share the rent of his comfortable residence at 221B Baker Street, Watson reveals in " The Adventure of the Dying Detective ", when Holmes was living alone, that " I have no doubt that the house might have been purchased at the price which Holmes paid for his rooms ," suggesting he had developed a good income from his practice, although it is seldom revealed exactly how much he charges for his services.

For example, in " The Final Problem ", Holmes states that his services to the government of France and the royal house of Scandinavia had left him with enough money to retire comfortably, while in " The Adventure of Black Peter ", Watson notes that Holmes would refuse to help the wealthy and powerful if their cases did not interest him, while he could devote weeks at a time to the cases of the most humble clients.

In " The Adventure of the Priory School ", Holmes rubs his hands with glee when the Duke of Holdernesse notes the 6, 000 pound sterling sum, which surprises even Watson, and then pats the cheque, saying, " I am a poor man ", an incident that could be dismissed as representative of Holmes's tendency toward sarcastic humour.

Although Holmes appears to show initial interest in some female clients ( in particular, Violet Hunter in " The Adventure of the Copper Beeches "), Watson says he inevitably " manifested no further interest in the client when once she had ceased to be the centre of one of his problems ".

Watson writes in " The Adventure of the Dying Detective " that Mrs. Hudson is fond of Holmes in her own way, despite his bothersome eccentricities as a lodger, owing to his " remarkable gentleness and courtesy in his dealings with women ".

In several stories, he adopts disguises to gather evidence while ' under cover ' so convincing that even Watson fails to penetrate them, such as in " The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton ", " The Man with the Twisted Lip ", " The Adventure of the Empty House " and " A Scandal in Bohemia ".

It might be noted that in The Adventure of the Final Problem Watson and Moriarty never actually come face-to-face.

The last story, " The Problem of the Final Adventure ", retells " The Adventure of the Final Problem " from the other side, and reveals that there was more going on than Holmes ( or, at least, than Watson ) realised.

Holmes soon emerges from his bedroom and explains that the dummy is a decoy designed to fool a would-be gunman, much as was done in " The Adventure of the Empty House ", to which Watson alludes.

" The Adventure of the Empty House " revealed that Holmes did not die after all, and recounted a secret history of three years in which Holmes had been wandering the world while everybody – including even his close friend Dr. Watson – believed him to be dead.

It expands on the comment by Doctor Watson in The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb " Of all the problems which have been submitted to my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, for solution during the years of our intimacy, there were only two which I was the means of introducing to his notice -- that of Mr. Hatherley's thumb, and that of Colonel Warburton's madness.

" The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone " is narrated in the third person, since it was adapted from a stage play in which Watson hardly appeared.

David Stuart Davies has commented that " The Adventure of the Creeping Man " " veers towards risible science fiction "; in the 1974 novel The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, author Nicholas Meyer's Watson claims that this entry, as well as three others from the Case-Book (" The Mazarin Stone ", " The Three Gables " and " The Lion's Mane "), are forged " drivel ".

In " The Adventure of Black Peter ", an original Arthur Conan Doyle Holmes story from 1904, Watson mentions that his companion recently arrested " Wilson, the notorious canary-trainer, which removed a plague-spot from the East-End of London "; this Wilson is not related to the titular character of Meyer's novel.
