The Striped Chest by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, A Tale of the High Seas (1897)
Another short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, set at sea, in the Atlantic following a great storm. There's possible salvage on that Brazilian flagged brig yonder! What could possibly go wrong?
First published in Pearson's Magazine in July, 1897, as A Tale of the High Seas.
Read by Greg Wagland for Magpie Audio.

I still don't get it. What was inside the chest?
Greg has the perfect voice for these stories. Crisp, precise diction to match the descriptive prose. Great company for my evening walks.

Thanks, Mac.
I liked this story, it was an interesting variation, especially when the culprit is discovered. I usually don’t comment my opinion of these stories because it’s difficult to accurately do so without giving things away to anyone! But I found this one relaxing and fun to listen to, not dark or morbid. Very well read, as per usual :). Another thankful listener, from 🇨🇦.
Mr Wagland hits the spot again. I had to re-listen as I fell asleep, not from boredom but due to his lilting tones. Excellent story, to the point, no padding and a nice twist. ACD is very consistent as is the narrator. Thank you.

I would have bet my bottom dollar that the narrator of this story was the late Dudley Sutton ( Tinker from the Lovejoy series) It sounds just like his voice Greg Wagland is such a good voice actor that he can completely change his voice sounding so unlike any previous character hes just narrated.

A Superbly narrated tale seasoned with a bit of olde English and "ol salt. I was plunged into the ocean of atmosphere, complete with foreboding and goosebumps. A work I have thoroughly enjoyed, and one I will gladly listen to again. Thank you my friend, four paw's up!! ((Hugs)) from across the pond. ♡♡♡♡

Another euphonic reading by Mr Wagland. Like another listener I fell asleep (very late, nothing to do with the narrator!), and woke up listening to The Devil's Foot which led to quite a bit of semi-conscious befuddlement in the wee hours. Great stuff!

Archie Doyle can't tell a sea tale worth of his sea salt even if he were to be "married to the captain's daughter" on the "poop deck"! For a tale of sails worth the Trades, give me an Old Tar like Sir Joe Conrad.

Cutting down Trees 🌲🌲🌲🌲around are world from forests 🌳 to woodlands 🌳are releasing Toxins that the trees 🌲 have collect for years back into the Atmosphere and logging is cutting far quicker than planting around the world and adult trees 🌲 that take 45 years to grow store more toxins and carbon than just new planted trees does . If the logging continues to carry on then the weathers around are world will become a lot hotter and very aggressive storms will become life threatening for humans just because humans can’t stop eating massive amounts meat 🥩 just because jobs and money are more important than life itself . PLEASE SAY NO TO LOGGING and help protect the trees and the wildlife habitats that are so important to the world we live in .
