The Adventure of the Six Napoleons, is about a man who has hidden a valuable black pearl inside a Napoleon's Bust.

The Gloria Scott, is about the father of Sherlock Holmes friend who in the past committed a robbery crime and was sent in a ship to Australia. During the trip there is a mutiny to which he is made part of it. After surviving he and his friend change their names and tried to forget this past. But suddenly a man show up and scare to death to this pearson.

I like this stories. Easy to follow and the idea of having the clues at the end make the opportunity to discover what was Sherlock Homes reasoning to solve the mystery.
