  • 1 of 7: Start by reading about some ship disappearances.

  • 4 of 7: Holmes will then say that you need to check a chart of the Scottish coast.
  • 5 of 7: When you click on the chart, it'll come up in a zoomed-in view that you can scroll around by clicking and dragging.
  • 6 of 7: What you need to do is figure out exactly what point on the chart to click on.
