CONAN DOYLE'S FIRST APPEARANCE IN THE STRAND MAGAZINE. The story (pp. 312-17) was submitted by Doyle's new literary agent, A.P. Watt, during the magazine's planning, and promptly accepted at the rate of £4 per thousand words. Shortly thereafter Doyle created a furore, and literary history, with the birth of Sherlock Holmes.
