Short Story of the Month
The Island of the Giants
The cannon-ship of Her Majesty Setter landed on that island 11th June of the year 1857, nine days after it had been led astray by unexpected storm while on her course to Mumbai, where we should load supplies for our sail to Andamans and to Malay Archipelago. I was hired as a ship’s doctor, despite being a biologist by profession. I took this job because it was only possible way to visit faraway lands, where, as I hoped, I could find peace for my curious soul.
Being of the Month

Sherlockiana: Police Officers

Quote of the Month
„I can’t believe that!” said Alice.
“Can’t you?” the Queen said in a pitying tone. “Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes.”
Alice laughed. “There’s no use trying,” she said: “one can’t believe impossible things.”
“I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for
half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
— Lewis Carroll. Through the Looking-Glass
