Doyle’s first paid job as a physician was aboard the steamship Mayumba, which traveled from Liverpool to Africa. After his time on the Mayumba, Doyle settled in Plymouth, England. When his funds were nearly exhausted, he moved to Portsmouth and opened his first practice. He spent the next few years struggling to balance his burgeoning medical career with his efforts to gain recognition as an author. Doyle would later abandon medicine altogether, to devote his full attention to his writing and his faith. A Cat of a Different Color (Short Story) ( By: Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Annie Reed, Louisa Swann, Lisa Silverthorne, Dean Wesley Smith, Ray Vukcevich, Dory Crowe) Stashower says that the compound version of his surname originated from his great-uncle Michael Conan, a distinguished journalist, from whom Arthur and his elder sister, Annette, received the compound surname of "Conan Doyle" (Stashower 20–21). The same source points out that in 1885 he was describing himself on the brass nameplate outside his house, and on his doctoral thesis, as "A. Conan Doyle" (Stashower 70).

It turns out that the pearls were sent by Thaddeus Sholto, son of the late Major Sholto, one of Captain Morstan's companions during his service in the Indian Mutiny of 1857. Captain Morstan and Major Sholto had found treasure in India and were supposed to divide it, but Major Sholto killed Captain Morstan, disposed of his body, and hid the treasure.

Before dying, Major Sholto told his two sons, Thaddeus and Bartholomew, where he hid the body and the treasure. They find Mary's father's body and a note saying 'The sign of the four'. Jonathan Small was one of the 'sign of the four' signatories. This was a group he had been part of before making a deal with Major Sholto and Captain Morstan to recover the Agra treasure. Bernard M. L. Ernst, Hereward Carrington (1932). Houdini and Conan Doyle: The Story of a Strange Friendship. Albert and Charles Boni, Inc. Kind of a soap opera set around 1900 in England. I'm sure there was more to the subtext than I got, but I got enough to make it interesting, even enjoyable for all Doyle's somewhat stilted style. I was not the only critic, as many of Holmes' most devoted followers have pointed out the same errors and more. However, when they do, they make all sorts of 'allowances' for him, the most common of which is that 'Watson' has obviously made an error in his recording of Holmes' investigations. Balderdash I say! They are too kind to Mr. Holmes!

Publication Order of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Books

In 1916, at the height of the First World War, Doyle's belief in psychic phenomena was strengthened by what he took to be the psychic abilities of his children's nanny, Lily Loder Symonds. [87] This and the constant drumbeat of wartime deaths inspired him with the idea that spiritualism was what he called a "New Revelation" [88] sent by God to bring solace to the bereaved. He wrote a piece in Light magazine about his faith and began lecturing frequently on spiritualism. In 1918, he published his first spiritualist work, The New Revelation. While a medical student, Doyle made his first attempt to write, with a story called «The Mystery of Sasassa Valley». That was followed by a second story, «The American Tale», which was published in London Society. Massimo Polidoro. (2001). Final Séance: The Strange Friendship Between Houdini and Conan Doyle.
