Promising to send Whitney home by cab, Watson leaves his own house. He is bound for Upper Swandam Lane, east of London Bridge on the river's north bank. With Kate's directions in mind, he crosses the night city to find the den and undertake an errand far outside his ordinary rounds.

But there was no great difficulty in the first stage of my adventure.とはいえ、冒険の初めの段階に大きな困難はなかった。
Upper Swandam Lane is a vile alley lurking behind the high wharves which line the north side of the river to the east of London Bridge.アッパー・スワンダム横丁は、ロンドン橋の東、川の北岸に並ぶ高い波止場の陰に隠れた、ひどく汚い路地である。
Between a slop-shop and a gin-shop, approached by a steep flight of steps leading down to a black gap like the mouth of a cave, I found the den of which I was in search.安物の衣料品店とジンの酒場の間に、洞窟の口のような暗い穴へ急な階段を下りていく、目当ての店があった。
Ordering my cab to wait, I passed down the steps, worn hollow in the centre by the ceaseless tread of drunken feet; and by the light of a flickering oil-lamp above the door I found the latch and made my way into a long, low room, thick and heavy with the brown opium smoke, and terraced with wooden berths, like the forecastle of an emigrant ship.馬車を待たせ、酔客の絶え間ない足踏みで中央がすり減った階段を下りた。戸口の上で揺れる油灯を頼りに掛け金を探し、天井の低い長い部屋へ入った。茶色いアヘンの煙が重くこもり、移民船の船首楼のように木の寝台が段々に並んでいた。
