Holmes said,“Somebody sent a letter with five pips(橘核)in it from India,and arrived seven weeks later to kill John's uncle. Then they sent five pips from Scotland and arrived three days later to kill John's father. Now they have sent five pips to John from London!”
“The letters are all from sea ports(海港). The writer was on a ship when he wrote the letters,” I replied.
“Very good,Watson! And John's enemy is in London already!”
“Well,I hope they won't kill young John,” I said.
But they did. The next morning,we read in the newspaper that a policeman found him die near Waterloo station. Holmes was very angry about it.
“He came to me for help and those men murdered him! I'm going to find them,if it's the last thing I do!” he said to me,and he hurried out of the house.
At night,when he came back,he was tired,but pleased. He said,“I know the names of John's enemies! And now I'm going to send them a surprise! This will frighten(使惊吓)them!” He took five pips from an orange and put them in an envelope(信封). On it he wrote “S. H. for J. C.”.
“I'm sending the pips to captain James Calhoun. His ship is called the Star. He and his men are sailing back to Georgia,USA.”
“How did you find him,Holmes?” I asked.
“Ship's papers,” he said,“I've looked at hundreds of them today. Only one ship,the Star,was in the three ports at the right time,this morning the Star left London to sail back to Georgia. I found out that the captain and two of his men,all Americans,weren't on the ship last night,so I'm sure they killed John. When they arrive in America,they'll get the pips and then the police will catch them!”

福尔摩斯说：“有人从印度寄了一封装有五颗橘核的信，七周后寄信人来杀害了约翰的叔叔。然后他们从苏格兰寄了五颗橘核，三天后寄信人来杀害了约翰的父亲。现在他们从伦敦给约翰寄了五颗橘核！”
“这些信都来自海港。写信人写信的时候在船上。”我回答道。
“非常好，华生！而且约翰的敌人已经在伦敦了！”
“嗯，我希望他们不会杀害年轻的约翰。”我说。
但他们还是这么做了。第二天早上，我们在报纸上看到一名警察发现他死在滑铁卢车站附近。福尔摩斯对此非常生气。
“他来向我求助，而那些人谋杀了他！我要找到他们，就算这是我做的最后一件事！”他对我说，然后匆匆走出了房子。
晚上，当他回来时，他很疲惫，但很高兴。他说：“我知道约翰的敌人的名字了！现在我要给他们一个惊喜！这会吓到他们的！”他从一个橘子上取下五颗橘核，放进一个信封里。在信封上他写了“ S. H. 致 J. C. ”。
“我要把这些橘核寄给詹姆斯·卡尔霍恩船长。他的船叫‘星星号’。他和他的船员正驶回美国佐治亚州。”
“你是怎么找到他的，福尔摩斯？”我问道。
“通过船舶文件，”他说，“我今天看了几百份文件。只有一艘船，‘星星号’，在合适的时间出现在这三个港口，今天早上‘星星号’离开伦敦驶回佐治亚州。我发现船长和他的两名船员，都是美国人，昨晚不在船上，所以我确定是他们杀害了约翰。当他们到达美国时，他们会收到这些橘核，然后警察就会抓住他们！”
