Pursuit to Algiers Page #3

---

How do you do, sir?

- And Dr. Watson.

- How do you do, sir?

Delighted to meet

you gentlemen.

I appreciate your kindness

in undertaking this mission.

Not at all, sir.

I am sorry, Dr. Watson,

but I am afraid

you will not be able

to accompany

Mr. Holmes after all.

The plane we had

expected to use

developed engine trouble,

and this as you see

is only a three-seater.

Well, just a minute, sir.

Where Holmes goes, I go too.

Well, I know,

I know, but...

Well, first we lose

our holiday, now this.

I don't like your going

off alone, Holmes,

I don't like it at all.

Come, now, Watson,

whatever we must do

in a good cause

must be done.

Look here, Rovenia isn't very

far from the Mediterranean

and it has some

excellent fishing.

Why don't you take a boat,

I'll meet you there.

We'll have our holiday

after all?

Come to think of it, there's a boat

sailing for the Mediterranean tomorrow,

the Friesland, Swedish African

line, cargo and passenger.

I have some influence

with the directors.

Well, that's very kind

of you, sir.

It's not just that I mind giving up

our fishing, Holmes, you know that,

but hang it all,

I want to be of some use.

- And you can be, definitely.

- I can be?

Would you excuse us, sir?

Over here.

Watson,

I don't like this

convenient accident.

Too many people seem

to be in on this secret.

When our antagonists

discover we've separated,

it's more than likely

you'll be followed,

so I want you to make yourself

as conspicuous as possible.

Decoy, eh?

Sort of sitting duck.

That's right, old fellow.

Be on your guard constantly.

Be wary of strangers,

and whatever you do,

don't breathe a word

regarding my whereabouts.

Don't you worry, Holmes,

you can trust me.

I know I can.

- So long, old fellow.

- We must hurry, Mr. Holmes.

I don't like it.

My name's Watson,

Dr. Watson.

Oh, yes, Dr. Watson.

I'm very glad to have

you on board, sir.

My name is

Johansson, the purser.

- Good morning. Good morning.

- May I?

- Will you take Dr. Watson's baggage

to Cabin 8, please? - Yes, sir.

- Sanford will be your steward.

- Good, good.

Have you a cabin trunk, sir?

Naturally, one doesn't

go to the Mediterranean

without a change of linen.

Quite so, sir.

Be careful of those fishing

rods, young fellow, my lad

Very good, sir.

Your cabin is very

comfortably located

on the port side

of the ship, sir.

- Good, I hope I have a nice reading...

- Excuse me.

Purser, has anybody

been asking for me?

Why, no, Ms. Woodbury,

not as far as I know.

Oh, may I introduce

Dr. Watson, Ms. Woodbury.

- How do you do?

- How do you do?

Ms. Woodbury's quite

a singer, you know.

She will be with us all
