Limehouse in "Three Men and...Stories"
Jerome, George, and Harris had lunch at Lee Ho Fook's, a Chinese restaurant in Limehouse. While they were there, they observed another customer, identified as Mr. Warren, eat a dish of beef chow mein, then leave. After they finished their meal, they found a nearby pub, and stayed until after dark. Not long after they left, they heard a woman scream from nearby. The three dashed into an alley, and found a wolf-man hybrid crouched over an unconscious woman. Upon seeing the three, it paused, giving Harris time to charge it and stab it with the ferrule of his umbrella. To the amazement of J. and George, Harris succeeded in killing the creature. It soon turned back into a man; all three recognized him as Mr. Warren from Lee Ho Fook's. Harris explained the ferrule was made of silver.

The would-be victim stood, and after speaking in either Polish or Russian, ran off when they couldn't respond. The three also decided to leave, knowing no one would ever believe their story. They encountered a plumb man at the mouth of the alley, who asked if they'd heard a scream. They all denied hearing anything in unison as they hurried off.
