Holmes instructs the men to remove anything that indicates that the boat could be the police, and they make their way down the river to the shipyard. Holmes explains that the previous day, he went down to the shipyard and talked with the men who worked there, and suddenly, the man Smith, walked in shouting that he needed his ship ready for that evening. Holmes followed the man for a little, and when that proved unsuccessful, he went back to the shipyard where he found one of his street men hovering around. He informed the child to wave a white flag if the boat leaves the yard. The men lie in wait for a little bit, and then see the white flag waving and the Aurora leaving the shipyard. Holmes directs the ship to go as fast as they can get her to go, and they race after the Aurora. They very slowly gain on the Aurora, and little by little they make out the bodies and then faces of the men on board. A Tug separates the ships again, but Holmes and the police are on the chase and slowly gain on the Aurora again. Suddenly, the little Pigmy man jumps out and raises his blowpipe and Holmes and Watson. They pull out their pistols and fire at the man, felling him into the river. As they pull alongside the Aurora, Smith forces the boat into the marshes, and Small jumps off, getting his leg stuck in the mud, allowing the police to capture him, and get the treasure chest.
