The Engineer’s Thumb
The exciting affair of Mr Hatherley’s thumb happened in the
summer of 1889, not long after my marriage. I was in practice as
a doctor, but I often visited my friend Sherlock Holmes at his
Baker Street rooms, and I sometimes even managed to persuade
him to come and visit my wife and me. My practice had steadily
become more successful, and as I happened to live near
Paddington Station, I got a few patients from among the railway
workers there. One of these, a guard whom I had cured of a
painful disease, was always praising my skill and trying to persuade
new patients to come to me.
One morning, a little before seven o’clock, I was woken by
our servant knocking at the bedroom door. She said that two
men had come from Paddington Station and were waiting in my
office. I dressed quickly and hurried downstairs. I knew from
experience that railway cases were usually serious. Before I had
reached the office, my old friend the guard came out and closed
the door tightly behind him.
‘I’ve got him here,’ he whispered, pointing over his shoulder
with his thumb, as if he had caught some strange wild animal for
me.‘It’s a new patient. I thought I’d bring him here myself, so that
he couldn’t run away. I must go now, Doctor. I have my duties,
just as you have.’ And he was out of the house before I could
thank him.
I entered my office, and found a gentleman seated by the table.
He was dressed in a country suit, with a soft cloth cap, which he
had put down on top of my books. There was a bloody cloth
wrapped round one of his hands. He was young - not more than
twenty-five, I thought. He had a strong face, but he was extremely
pale, and seemed to be in a state of almost uncontrollable anxiety.
20
‘I’m sorry to get you out of bed so early, Doctor/ he began.
‘But I had a very serious accident during the night. I came back
to London by train this morning, and at Paddington I asked the
railway people where I could find a doctor. One good man very
kindly brought me here. I gave your servant a card, but I see that
she has left it over there on the side table/
I picked it up and looked at it. ‘Mr Victor Hatherley/ I read.
‘Engineer, third floor, 16A Victoria Street/
‘I am sorry you have had to wait so long/ I said, sitting down.
‘Your night journey must have been dull too/
‘Oh, my experiences during the night could not be called
dull!’ he said, and laughed. In fact he shook with such unnatural
laughter that he sounded a little crazy.
‘Stop it!’ I cried. ‘Control yourself]’ I poured out a glass of
water for him.
But it was useless. He went on laughing for some time. When
at last he stopped he was very tired and ashamed of himself.
‘It was stupid of me to laugh like that/ he said in a weak voice.
‘Not at all/ I poured some brandy into the water. ‘Drink this!’
Soon the colour began to return to his pale face. ‘That’s
better!’ he said. ‘And now, doctor, would you mind looking at my
thumb, or rather at the place where my thumb used to be?’
He took off the cloth and held out his hand. It was a terrible
sight, and although I had been an army doctor I could hardly bear
to look at it. Instead of a thumb there was only an uneven,
swollen red surface. The thumb had been completely cut — or
torn - off.
‘Good heavens!’ I cried.‘This is a terrible wound. It must have
bled a great deal.’
‘Yes, it did. I fainted when it happened; and I think I must have
been unconscious for a long time. When I returned to
consciousness, I found that it was still bleeding. So I tied one
end of this cloth very tightly round my wrist, and used a small
21
piece of wood to make it even tighter.’
‘Excellent! You should have been a doctor.’
‘I’m an engineer, you see: the force of liquids is my subject.’
‘This has been done,’ I said, examining the wound, ‘by a very
sharp, heavy instrument.’
‘An axe,’ he said.
‘It was an accident, I suppose?’'
‘No!’
‘Was somebody trying to murder you, then?’
‘Yes.’
‘How terrible! ’
I cleaned the wound and bandaged it. He did not cry out as I
worked on his hand, though he bit his lip from time to time.
‘How are you feeling now?’ I asked, when I had finished.
‘I feel fine! Your brandy and your bandage have made me feel
like a new man. I was very weak, but I have had some terrible
experiences.’
‘Perhaps you had better not speak of the matter. It upsets you
too much.’
‘Oh no! Not now. I shall have to tell everything to the police.
But really, if I did not have this wound, the police might not
believe my statement. It is a very strange story and I have not
much proof of it. And I doubt whether justice will ever be done,
because I can give the detectives so few clues.’
‘In that case,’ I said, ‘I strongly advise you to see my friend
Sherlock Holmes before you go to the police.’
‘Oh, I have heard of Mr Holmes,’ said my visitor, ‘and I should
be very glad if he would look into the matter, though of course
I must inform the police as well. Would you write me a letter of
introduction to him?’
‘I’ll do better than that. I’ll take you round to him myself.’
‘You’re very kind.’
‘We’ll call a carriage and go together. We shall arrive just in
22
time to have breakfast with him. Do you feel strong enough to
go out?’
‘Oh yes! I shall not feel comfortable in my mind until I have
told my story.’
‘Then my servant will call a carriage, and I shall be with you
in a moment.’ I rushed upstairs and quickly explained everything
to my wife. Five minutes later Mr Hatherley and I were in a
carriage on our way to Baker Street.
As I had expected, Sherlock Holmes was in his sitting room
reading the small personal advertisements in The Times and
smoking his pipe. For this early-morning smoke he used all the
half-smoked lumps of tobacco from the day before, all carefully
dried and collected together. He welcomed us in his usual quiet,
pleasant way, and ordered more food for us. Then we all sat round
the table and had a good breakfast. When we had finished,
Holmes made Mr Hatherley lie down with a glass of brandy and
water within reach.
‘It is easy to see that your experience has been a strange and
terrible one, Mr Hatherley,’ he said. ‘Please He down there and
make yourself completely at home. Tell us what you can, but stop
and have a drink when you are tired.’
‘Thank you,’ said my patient, ‘but I have been feeling quite
fresh since the doctor bandaged me, and I think that your
excellent breakfast has completed the cure. So I will begin the
story of my strange experiences immediately.’
Holmes sat down in his big armchair. As usual, the sleepy
expression on his face, and his half-closed eyes, hid his eagerness.
I sat opposite him, and we listened in silence to the strange story
our visitor told.
‘My parents are dead,’ he said, ‘and I am unmarried. I five alone
in rooms in London. By profession I am an engineer, and I have
had seven years of training with Venner and Matheson of
Greenwich, the well-known engineers. I completed my training
two years ago. Not long before that, my father had died and I
received some of his money So I decided to go into business on
my own, and took an office in Victoria Street.
‘The first few years of independent practice are often
disappointing. I myself have had an extremely disappointing start.
In two years I have had only three or four jobs and have earned
only twenty-seven pounds. Every day, from nine o’clock in the
morning until four in the afternoon, I waited in my little office,
until at last I began to lose heart. I thought that I would never get
any work.
‘But yesterday my clerk came in to say that a gentleman was
waiting to see me on business. He brought in a card, too, with the
name ‘Captain Lysander Stark’ printed on it. The Captain
followed him into the room almost immediately. He was a tall,
thin man. I do not think I have ever seen a thinner man than
Captain Stark. He had a sharp nose and the skin of his face was
pulled very tightly over the bones. But his thinness did not seem
to be the result of any disease. His back was straight and his eyes
were bright. He was plainly but neatly dressed, and seemed to be
about thirty-five or forty years old.
‘ “Mr Hatherley?” he said, and I thought he sounded like a
German. “You have been recommended to me, Mr Hatherley, not
only as an excellent engineer, but also as a man who can keep a
secret.”
‘This polite remark pleased me. “May I ask who it was who
spoke so well of me?” I said.
‘ “Well, perhaps I had better not tell you that just now. I have
also heard that your parents are dead, and that you are unmarried
and five alone in London.”
‘ “That is quite correct,” I answered. “But I do not see what
connection these things have with my professional ability. My
clerk told me that you wished to speak to me about a professional
matter.”
24
‘ “Yes, certainly. But everything I have said is important. I have
work for you, but secrecy is necessary - complete secrecy. And of
course we can expect greater secrecy from a man who is alone in
the world than from one who lives with his family.”
4 “If I promise to keep a secret,” I said, “you can trust me to do
so.”
‘He looked at me carefully as I spoke. “You do promise, then?”
he said at last.
‘“Yes, I promise.”
‘ “You promise complete silence, both before and after doing
the work? You promise not to mention the matter at all, either in
speech or in writing?”
“ ‘I have already given you my word.”
‘“Very good!” He suddenly jumped up, rushed across the
room, and threw open the door. The passage outside was empty.
‘ “That’s all right,” he said, coming back. “I know that clerks are
sometimes eager to know about their masters’ affairs. Now it is
safe to talk.” He pulled his chair up very close to mine, and once
again began looking thoughtfully at me.
‘I did not like this. I was beginning to feel impatient with this
strange man.
‘ “Please tell me why you have come to see me, sir.” I said. “My

The Engineer’s Thumb
The exciting affair of Mr Hatherley’s thumb happened in the
summer of 1889, not long after my marriage. I was in practice as
a doctor, but I often visited my friend Sherlock Holmes at his
Baker Street rooms, and I sometimes even managed to persuade
him to come and visit my wife and me. My practice had steadily
become more successful, and as I happened to live near
Paddington Station, I got a few patients from among the railway
workers there. One of these, a guard whom I had cured of a
painful disease, was always praising my skill and trying to persuade
new patients to come to me.
One morning, a little before seven o’clock, I was woken by
our servant knocking at the bedroom door. She said that two
men had come from Paddington Station and were waiting in my
office. I dressed quickly and hurried downstairs. I knew from
experience that railway cases were usually serious. Before I had
reached the office, my old friend the guard came out and closed
the door tightly behind him.
‘I’ve got him here,’ he whispered, pointing over his shoulder
with his thumb, as if he had caught some strange wild animal for
me.‘It’s a new patient. I thought I’d bring him here myself, so that
he couldn’t run away. I must go now, Doctor. I have my duties,
just as you have.’ And he was out of the house before I could
thank him.
I entered my office, and found a gentleman seated by the table.
He was dressed in a country suit, with a soft cloth cap, which he

‘I’m sorry to get you out of bed so early, Doctor/ he began.
‘But I had a very serious accident during the night. I came back
to London by train this morning, and at Paddington I asked the
railway people where I could find a doctor. One good man very

‘Engineer, third floor, 16A Victoria Street/
‘I am sorry you have had to wait so long/ I said, sitting down.
‘Your night journey must have been dull too/
‘Oh, my experiences during the night could not be called

laughter that he sounded a little crazy.
‘Stop it!’ I cried. ‘Control yourself]’ I poured out a glass of
water for him.
But it was useless. He went on laughing for some time. When
at last he stopped he was very tired and ashamed of himself.
‘It was stupid of me to laugh like that/ he said in a weak voice.
‘Not at all/ I poured some brandy into the water. ‘Drink this!’
Soon the colour began to return to his pale face. ‘That’s
better!’ he said. ‘And now, doctor, would you mind looking at my
thumb, or rather at the place where my thumb used to be?’
He took off the cloth and held out his hand. It was a terrible
sight, and although I had been an army doctor I could hardly bear

‘An axe,’ he said.
‘It was an accident, I suppose?’'
‘No!’
‘Was somebody trying to murder you, then?’
‘Yes.’
‘How terrible! ’
I cleaned the wound and bandaged it. He did not cry out as I
worked on his hand, though he bit his lip from time to time.
‘How are you feeling now?’ I asked, when I had finished.
‘I feel fine! Your brandy and your bandage have made me feel
like a new man. I was very weak, but I have had some terrible
experiences.’
‘Perhaps you had better not speak of the matter. It upsets you
too much.’

‘He looked at me carefully as I spoke. “You do promise, then?”
he said at last.
‘“Yes, I promise.”
‘ “You promise complete silence, both before and after doing
