Boone insists that he never met St. Clair and is taken into police custody. Inspector Barton remains at the riverside building, hoping that the falling tide may expose further evidence below the window. Holmes now explains what the muddy riverbank revealed once the water withdrew and the search could continue.

"And it did, though they hardly found upon the mud-bank what they had feared to find.「実際に手掛かりは出た。もっとも、心配していたものが泥の岸から見つかったわけではなかった。
It was Neville St. Clair's coat, and not Neville St. Clair, which lay uncovered as the tide receded.潮が引いて姿を現したのは、ネヴィル・セントクレア本人ではなく、その外套だった。

"I cannot imagine."「想像もつかない」
"No, I don't think you would guess.「そうだろうね。まず当てられまい。
Every pocket stuffed with pennies and half-pennies—421 pennies and 270 half-pennies.どのポケットにも一ペニー銅貨と半ペニー銅貨がぎっしりで、一ペニーが四百二十一枚、半ペニーが二百七十枚あった。

"But I understand that all the other clothes were found in the room.「でも、ほかの衣服は全部部屋にあったんだろう。
Would the body be dressed in a coat alone?"体には外套しか着ていなかったのかい」
