In it are captain Starglyn and Suncon, the Celestial Geologist. They are studying the possible causes of the destruction of this city.Holmes is suspicious of Mr. Wilson's assistant, and so he visits Wilson's shop and pretends to be seeking directions in order to make observations about the assistant's appearance.
