Solution

In "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" by Edgar Allan Poe, the piece of evidence that indicates to Dupin that the owner of the orangutan is a sailor is a knotted ribbon. This is because sailors are known for their knot-tying skills, and the ribbon was tied in a peculiar knot that Dupin recognized as a sailor's knot.

"As we passed by the province called Xamanó, we sent on shore one of the Indians, who had been taken in the previous voyage, clothed, and carrying some trifles, which the Admiral had ordered to be given him. On that day died one of our sailors, a Biscayan, who had been wounded in the affray with the Caribbees, when they were captured, as I have already described, through their want of caution. As we were proceeding along the coast, an opportunity was afforded for a boat to go on shore to bury him, the boat being accompanied by two caravels to protect it. When they reached the shore, a great number of Indians came out to the boat, some of them wearing necklaces and ear-rings of gold, and expressed a wish to accompany the Spaniards to the ships; but our men refused to take them, because they had not received permission from the Admiral. When the Indians found that they would not take them, two of them got into a small canoe, and went up to one of the caravels that had put in to shore; they were received on board with great kindness, and taken to the Admiral's ship, where, through the medium of an interpreter, they re-lated that a certain king had sent them to ascertain who we were, and to invite us to land, adding that they had plenty of gold, and also of provisions, to which we should be welcome."Dr. Diego Alvarez Chanca, "Letter of Dr. Chanca on the Second Voyage of Columbus," 1493.
