Go to Baker Street. After talking to Wiggins, on the list that you've received, underline the name: Patrick Cairns, harpooner.
Deduction
Connect "Patrick Cairns" with "Peter Carey a non-smoker". You will receive a task to check Patrick Cairns.
Go to Holmes's room and take Sailor Outfit from the wardrobe. Using the map, head to the "Sea Witch" pub.
Armwrestling
When in the pub, go to the table opposite the entrance. Talk to Patrick and challenge him.
Notice that when you restrain, the level of your stamina rises and when you push, it lowers. In both cases, you have to press the right key quickly (options at the top of the screen). Focus mainly on pushing, as it is the only way to win. Be careful with your stamina, but even if its level falls to zero, it doesn't mean that Cairns will defeat Holmes right away. Try to push when the sailor is loose and restrain when he frowns. You have to defeat him two times before he talks.
Ask about all the topics (The following Evidence will appear in your Casebook: Story of August 1883 and Concealed Murder).
Patrick Cairns portrait:

• Gold earring in the right (from the player's perspective) ear;
• Cheap clothes (right sleeve);
• Strong hands (right forearm);
• Sailor's tattoo on the left forearm;
• Yellow nails (left palm).

Planting the pouch.

Tell the man that you have to go to the toilet and go behind his chair. Put the pouch from the crime scene inside the pocket of his jacket (drag it down in the close-up mode). Ask Patrick for tobacco (an Evidence will appear in the Casebook: Cairns is a smoker).
Deduction
Connect "Patrick Cairns' pouch" with "Patrick Cairns". You will receive two options that rule out one another: "Pouch proves visit" and "Pouch proves guilt". It is time to name the culprit.
