Summary: There’s something vaguely familiar about Birdy Edwards’ fate.

***

“Lost overboard in gale off St. Helena.” Holmes repeated Barker’s description of Ivy Douglas’ cable.

That meant more than the sinister hand of the Professor, who’d sent that taunting missive the day before. This meant…

“For  me, the Lone Star – for him, Jack Douglas.” Holmes smiled sadly. “Moriarty has learned how to summon Poseidon to vanquish HIS opponents as well.”

These Olympian deities have no sense of fair play ^^"

Darkly humorous and a very good point ^^ It's not just baddies who shouldn't risk getting on ships.

Yeah, you don't mess around with Greek gods.

Yes, a recurring solution...

Deus Ex Oceania.

It has long been held that when fleeing one should never take a ship. The Lutine Bell has rung more often due to Mr Holmes' interference than for any other reason.

That chap is a one-man drag on the shipping-investment industry.

I didn't see that coming.... it's even worse than if he'd had a Kraken.

Not ever a good idea to deal with Greek Gods.

Nothing like a convenient (the universe is rarely so lazy, right?) storm!

And Greek gods are so temperamental, and quick to change sides at a whim (see War, Trojan)...
