This story is GREAT....you had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Totally enjoyable....fantastic ending! I tried to guess several endings during the reading....NOT....EVEN....CLOSE!!

Haha, I diddnt see that coming! Brilliant plot twist and great suspense ! Classic!

Brilliant narration!

Yet another Conan Doyle story I hadn't heard of. Beautifully read, as always. Many thanks.

Thanks again, when I see a new story in my feed from Magpie, it is like a good friend has come to visit me.

I love these short stories...always a little twist in the tale.

Didn't expect the twist to be so great. Throughout the entire story I kept thinking he should have gone to the captain straight a way. I can sense the foolishness of the main character.

How did you know I'm sitting here wishing for a new story?? :) Cheers, Mr. Wagland!

I am so happy you are recording these unknown Conan Doyle stories. IMO they are just as entertaining as any of the Sherlock Holmes stories. I hope you do more of them!

I think Sherlock stories are better.

Enjoying this with my morning coffee ☕ Thanks

finally , a new ONE.. thank you sir

Even with hundreds of imitations, there's still no substitutions for the good Sir himself. Thank you for these!!

A new level of excellent accents. Your Irish accent was beautiful. You transitioned so well from English to German to American and to a fine Irish. It’s exciting to hear these relatively unknown stories. Thanks Greg. It’s always a pleasure to hear your voice.

Please don’t be offended that I love your voice and I use this channel to fall asleep. Much love❤️

Excellent work squire

Lovely stuff. Thank you Mr Wagland for creating such pictures in the mind, and travels back in time and...wow, so many excellent accents!

I must admit Mr Wagland, i love your Sherlock Holmes stories too much than is healthy😂😂your reading is excellent!!

Oooo, I love an early curiosity! Thank you, Mr. Wagland!

Another bathtime special! Thanks, Greg! 💕🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️💕

Loved it! As always with your readings, I get totally immersed. This time so much so that I burst out laughing at the end and felt embarrassed for the main character😍thank you!

Thank you! Very well read. For the astute reader this story contains volumes encapsulated in the fewest words; a parable. I'm becoming convinced Doyle was one of the greatest writers who ever lived.

Thank you so much beautiful person! ❤❤

Excellent option: an excellent writer and a superb speaker!

WoW, I just finished the Sharlok holmes series, feeling sad that it ended, how did you know I was wishing a new story,😆cool, Cheers 👍

Excellent narration as always! Thanks for posting

Thank you

Wow what an innocent twist to the story! Brilliant AC Doyle!

Thank you so much! What a treat! As always you are the best!

Love... Thank you!

Truly laudable Mr Greg!!🤩 Can't thank you enough! :D

Brilliantly read. Great characters clearly identified. An exciting story. Thanks Greg. 👏🏻👏🏻💐💐🌟🌟aunty

This one really had me fooled. I thought the timid man would be the hero in the end. Very riveting story. I was completly drawn into it.

Haha! Great story with a bang of an ending!

I love the sound of Greg’s voice. !!Well done :)

I never knew making fun of Americans for saying "Yurrup" was a tradition that dated back to 1890

Ha ha ha! That was unexpected! I won't give the ending away but I will say: "I really flocking enjoyed it!"

Mr Wagland always a pleasure

Ohh my goodness so unexpected, what a twist. Seems slightly uncharacteristic of some of his other short stories

Thank you so much for your talent and your time it is very much appreciated

Consistently brilliant.

Bravo!

What a comic twist! Never knew Sir ACD had that much of a funny bone in him.

Love it! Thank you !

Thanks Greg!

Simply brilliant! Thank you.

Thank you, Greg Wagland, for another new title (enjoyed the ‘Silver Hatchet’, by the way) and for providing an escape from the rampant “flue” porn- ... best regards!

Great voice actor,

Thank you so much for this.

That was amusing. I had thought the whole time it would have been some extraordinary firework or something of that nature. But the ending was truly a very good twist. Thank you for sharing this.

An excellent yarn!

I could not figure this one out. I kept trying to put the clues together, but never figured it out. What a surprise!

Help. LOST STORY TITLE. Not The Lost World I believe. In brief: maybe a Conan Doyle story or parody, man convinced to accompany team up S. American river to a land of dinosaurs, a ravine is traversed by felling a tall tree, tree removed and explorers exposed to monkey men. In the end some explorers return and at a lecture a baby pterodactyl suprises all.

It’s a little hard to believe anyone could be as spineless as the main character. 🙄

There's a lot of spinelessness about. Then and now!

Brilliant story brilliant read and misperception continues into the 21st century 🤯

Doyle wrote this? "I tried not to shake it." But they were RUNNING to the ship. Other blaring errors too. Blah. Not narrators' problem. Well done narrator.
