No. II is 'The Story of the Man with the Watches' (illustrated by Frank Craig); No. III is 'The Story of the Lost Special' (illustrated by Max Cowper).

The threat from the Dervishes was then very real, a serious menance to civilisation and was the cause of some anxiety. Two months later the long-expected war broke out, and he chose to accompany the special force as a correspondent for the Westminster Gazette.

Chronologically the second of the second series of twelve Holmes short stories later collected as the 'Memoirs' (1894 [1893]), it was omitted (apparently at Doyle's request) from the first and several subsequent editions due possibly to its theme of adultery; it was not published in book form until 'His Last Bow' (1917). Notably, when the tale was omitted from the 'Memoirs', Doyle transferred Holmes' famous thought-reading episode to the beginning of 'The Resident Patient'. Only one of Paget's illustrations is included in the book version. De Waal 33; see Green & Gibson pp.74-76.
