Holmes found out that Elsie was the daughter of a Chicago crime
boss, and Abe Slaney worked for him.
They all shared the secret
message writings.
Elsie and Abe were even engaged in the U.S., but she
ran away to England to start a new life.
Holmes believed that this
dangerous man still loved Elsie, and that was the cause of all the
misfortunes.

Holmes’s eyes were focused.
He announced,
“On that very night
when I got the information about the two, Hilton Cubitt forwarded me
the fifth message.
Watson, do you understand what this means?”

Watson replied,
“Wait ... .”
A look of horror crossed Watson’s face as he
realized the implication.
“‘Elsie, prepare to
meet thy God?’
It’s a threat!”
Holmes
nodded and his voice was grave,
“Yes, that
was why I rushed to the Cubitts’ home, but
I should have acted much faster.”
Holmes believed that this dangerous man still loved Elsie, and that was the cause of all the misfortunes.

이때 that은 지시사(demonstrative)로 사용된 것으로, this dangerous man still loved Elsie를 지칭한다.

He announced, “On that very night when I got the information about the two, ~.

when은 관계부사로 선행사 that very night과 I got the information about the two를 연결하고 있다.

“ ‘Elsie, prepare to meet thy God?’ It’s a threat!”

thy는 소유대명사로, ‘당신의’를 의미한다. 이는 고어체의 표현으로 현대 영어에서는 your를 의미하며 ‘너의 신을 만날 준비를 하라’ 즉, ‘죽을 준비를 하라’는 위협적인 의미를 나타낸다.

Holmes nodded and his voice was grave, “Yes, that was why I rushed to the Cubitts’ home, but I should have acted much faster.”

<should have+p.p.>는 ‘~했어야 했다’는 뜻으로 과거 사실에 대한 후회를 나타낸다.

However, simply pumping out the water was not enough. The forecast predicted heavy rains in the coming days, putting the rescuers on high alert. Thus, a final but risky decision was made to take the “Wild Boars” out of the cave in groups of three or four boys at a time. the boys and their coach went deeper and deeper into the cave, ending up in a chamber about 4 km from the entrance to the cave.

On July 8th, the mission took off. To prevent panic in the tight, underwater passages, the boys were fitted with full-face breathing masks. The divers held them close and were guided through the darkness by dive lines. After the flooded section, the boys were either carried on special beds or lifted up along ropes. After a long, nerve-wracking 11 hours, the rescue team successfully emerged with the first four boys. Four more boys were rescued the following day.

Finally, on July 10th, the last four boys and the coach were brought to safety. The world rejoiced at their rescue, and the boys and their coach were immediately transported to a hospital, where they were kept separated from others to prevent any potential infections. Once the doctors confirmed their good health, the boys were able to return home and reunite with their families.
