Hi MaG or....am at Baker Street Home...am to search newspaper right of fireplace, Dawson 1883..on newspapers my mouse
gives me the Examine but no more. How do I get and read Dawson item...thanks, Chuck....

Hi Chuck,

You should see arrows to the left and right of the year that displays at the top of the bar when you enter the Newspaper archive. These arrows will allow you to scroll from one year to the next. Under each year you'll see a list of newspaper articles. Click on any title for Holmes to either take the article into inventory, or to reject it.

There are three areas of Holmes's archives that you can access: Research, Newspapers and Encyclopaedia.

If there is nothing for Holmes to specifically search for in the game just yet, then there won't be an option for it when you click on any of the three areas. Holmes will only say that he will search his archives when he needs to. So be sure that you have triggered the need for Holmes to search for "Dawson 1883".

Hi Rushes....thanks, but went to news archs many times and there are no arrows,etc...only get the Examine deal...nothing else...tried all
areas around the newspapers,etc...will go back again and see if can stir up something, could be PC keeping me from getting arrows,etc...
..will let know...thanks..Chuck...

If I remember correctly, once you open a newspaper; you will see a year on the top.
Then there are arrows right and left of the year - same row.
Use that to scroll until you see either the correct year or the article you want to read.

Hi MaG....my problem is that I can get no newspaper...on news pile I get the Archile and the small Newspaper/Examine window..can
find nothing else to continue with...no arrows, no nothing...thanks..chuck...

The clues to check the newspaper for Dawson 1883 are:
- have examined the complete inscription inside Neligan's ring.
- have interrogated Neligan and learned about the ring's ownership.

Hi MaG.....should do it...thanks much..chuck

Enjoy.

Hi MaG...you know how many games I have played, well, I am stuck,stuck with this one. Went back and did all in WT..picked up talk,etc..
missed before. Up to the newspapers again and all get is the My Archive and window with News/Exam..what could I be missing and am I
in right place at Baker street..must be....have any comments..thanks, Chuck...

Go to the shelves right of the fireplace at Baker Street.
That is where the newspapers are located.
If you already triggered to see the newspaper; see the selection - Search Dawson, 1883.
This will open a newspaper. Check the year on top of the page - 1883.
Click on Dawson and Neligan bankrupt to read the article.

As I mentioned on the other post - this is triggered after reading the complete inscription on the ring and getting Neligan to talk about his father. Also be sure to check the initials in bloody notebook and ask Neligan about them.

Hi MaG....went back again..had interview again with Neli...examined all again..all talk thru knife and that was it..no asking about
ring just character icon up..did all...did not ask about rings owner thus Q does nothing. apparently I need the ring info on interview..
and do not get...because of this I do not get any arrows at newspapers. Have done many times and ring info left out each time...any
idea what is happening...thanks, Chuck...

It might be the ring.
Go to evidence room again and look close at Neligan's ring.
Read the inside inscription and turn it all.
You have to see and Holmes to know the complete writing - from R Dawson to my friend and partner, 1883. Rotate to view all the inscription.

Hi MaG....have read the ring a dozen times..could it be my PC. Have a new PC and Windows 8...incidentally, my mouse is too active
with this game and setting does not help...thanks, Chuck...

Chuck,

Watch this video .
As for the mouse, see if using the keyboard keys or changing first or second perspective will help.

Hi MaG....backed clear to Lestrade intros Carey to Holmes first time. In terrogation Neligan..knife and no kill anyone. In your WT
you then say...when asked about the ring..press,etc...this is not said..shows only character icon to press...I go thru all that,et..
..after that..WT..Ask about rings owner...this is not said..and Q key means nothing. Don't know what to say..when time will reinstall
game and see if helps..will move on to my new ND game..thanks for help...Chuck...

Now - I am sure that you have not examined the ring correctly.
Look close at the ring at the evidence room.
Click-hold/rotate - turn the ring so that you read all the inscription. Holmes will note it if you do it correctly.
Good luck and

Hi MaG.....did ring several times but no word spoken from Holmes about it..that may be problem..back to try again..thanks, Chuck..and a
HAPPY NEW YEAR...
OK....that was it..the Ring..it did everything..moved thru all..harpoon throw..now at Scotland Yard and moving on...many thanks for all
the help..Chuck...

<whew> Glad you're moving forward now. Enjoy and

Hi MaG....am to disguise as sailor..do sailor outfit, all dressing table stuff..and exit and get a speel and a Confirm or Cancel..if click Confirm..goes back and all make up gone...click Cancel and goes back and all still on...by doing this cannot jump to Sea Witch
pub..can you help..thanks, Chuck

After you wear the costume - pull back and then use the map to jump to the pub. See if that works.

You might need to walk out into the sitting-room first, to see Watson's reaction to your disguise. You don't need to wear anything too fancy -- just the sailor suit, and maybe some facial hair.
