"It is a swamp adder!" cried Holmes - "the deadliest snake in India." Watson recorded this sentence many years after the actual events for we learn of the secrecy kept until the untimely death of Holmes' client. First of all, there is no such thing as a swamp adder, and India has no adders. Second, have you ever seen a snake slither up a rope or down one for that matter? Another fact of note, snakes are deaf, so the whistle would have been useless, and there is also the problem of getting through the ventilator cover. There has been much speculation about what this "swamp adder" may have been, but one possibility is a hybrid reptile combining a lizard and a snake. What Holmes may have actually said was: "It is a samp-aderm, the deadliest skink in India." This theory was first put forward by Laurence M.

What is a summary of Sherlock Holmes Five Orange Pips?
The Five Orange Pips is the fifth story in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes collection by Arthur Conan Doyle. Doyle wrote fifty-six short Sherlock Holmes stories and four full length novels in total. The story is narrated by the character of Dr. John Watson. It was first published in The Strand Magazine in November of 1891. At the outset of the story Watson is staying with Sherlock Holmes for a few days and one evening during his visit a young man named John Openshaw comes to consult Holmes. John gives Holmes and Watson some background about his life. He grew up in England with his father and he had one uncle who had gone to Florida as a young man. John's uncle Elias was a confederate soldier in the American Civil War. A few years after the surrender of General Lee, Elias returned to England and took to a reclusive life in the provinces. Elias became very attached to John and gave him authority and control over his household. One morning John's uncle received a letter from India which contained five dried orange pips and had "K.K.K" marked upon the envelope. John thought the communication must have been a joke but his uncle's extreme reaction to it persuaded him otherwise. Elias exclaimed that the letter was a herald of death and without explanation he brought out a brass box full of papers and hurriedly burnt the contents. John observed the letters "K.K.K" on the lid of the box. After this incident Elias intensified his reclusiveness except for infrequent occasions when he would run outside and declare that he would not be cooped up like an animal. These drunken declarations made, however, Elias would run back inside and lock the door behind him. One night Elias never returned and was found face down in a pool in the garden. A jury delivered a verdict of suicide which John did not believe since his uncle had been so frightened of death. John's father came into possession of Elias Openshaw's house and the two of them lived there without incident for a year. One morning however John's father received a letter, postmarked from Dundee, containing five dried orange pips and bearing the mark "K.K.K." The letter contained the instruction "put the papers on the sundial." John realised that the letter must be referring to the papers burnt by Elias and wished to call in the police but his father forbade it. Three days later John's father died in what was apparently an accidental fall. Over two years passed with no further incident and John hoped that the curse upon his family had ended but then he received an envelope containing five dried orange pips and bearing the mark "K.K.K." The letter had a London postmark and also reiterated the instruction given to John's father to put the papers on the sundial. Holmes is very concerned by this news and outraged that the police have dismissed the matter as a practical joke. John Openshaw has a single piece of paper that survived the burning and Holmes urges him to place this on the sundial in the brass box with a note to say that the other papers were destroyed. John hurries off to fulfil this task and Holmes explains to Watson that K.K.K stands for Ku Klux Klan. The K.K.K was a secret society formed by ex-confederate soldiers after the American Civil War. Holmes believes that the papers Elias burnt may have contained incriminating evidence against some men who had been involved with the Klan. The next morning Holmes prepares to set out upon the case but Watson sees from the morning paper that Holmes is too late, John Openshaw is reported to have drowned by Waterloo Bridge apparently after an accidental fall. Holmes is deeply affected by the death of the young man and sets a trap for the gang responsible for the murder. That night he returns to Baker Street and puts five orange pips in an envelope and addresses it to Captain James Calhoun. On the inside flap he writes "S.H for J.C." Holmes explains to Watson that this captain is the leader of the gang. By tracing vessels which touched port in accordance with the date and postmark of the K.K.K letters Holmes traced the murderers to a barque called the Lone Star. Holmes has informed the police in Savannah that three wanted men are aboard the ship. He hopes that the orange pips will give Calhoun a sleepless night before he is arrested. The Lone Star never reaches port. A shattered wreck supposed to be the ship's remains is discovered and this is all that is ever known about the fate of the vessel and those travelling aboard it.
