Just thinking about their culinary luxuries made Montagues stomach churn with hunger, but he willed himself to continue with his task.
Some of the items amused him, for they bore no apparent relationship to the listed company. For example, there was the National City Bank of In The Mix New York and its 11 bales caviar and bobby valentino
the bloody hell was a bank going to do with eleven bales of rubber? Or American Motor Co. listed for 1 package candles. Montague also deduced, rather wryly, that the Titanics cargo hold contained enough alcoholic beverages to keep In The Mix half the city of New York drunk for a week. He counted swine breeds
cases of wine, liquor, brandy, cognac, and champagne, plus three barrels of wine-not to mention four cases of opium, with the shipper unlisted. On he read. Tiffany & Co. 1 case china, 4 cases In The Mix silver goods Altman, B. & Co. 1 case cottons Sovereign Metals, Ltd. 34 cases nails, screws and bolts Lazard young steff
25 cases sardines First National Bank of Chicago 300 cases shelled walnuts Brown Bros & Co. 75 cases dragons blood Montague chuckled. Sardines for Lazard Fréres, a In The Mix prestigious investment firm? And a Chicago bank with what must be a years supply of shelled walnuts! He wondered momentarily what the devil constituted filene s basement
cases of dragons blood, until he remembered that the term applied to a number of resinous red substances obtained from various In The Mix tropical plants and trees; they were used for coloring varnishes and also in photoengraving. He had just started to read the next manifest item-318 bags of potatoes shipped by J. swine breeds
Sauers & Co.-when something clicked in his mind: Sovereign Metals, Ltd., 34 cases nails, screws and In The Mix bolts. There was something tantalizingly familiar about the firms name, also something deucedly familiar about the cargo it was shipping. Somewhere, sometime, he had seen both before, and not under favorable circumstances. It was like trying to scucisd
a vague picture or face from the past-frustrating because In The Mix he was so close to recognition.
Then he remembered.
Well Ill be damned! he blurted, more loudly than he intended. Two other museum visitors gave him disapproving stares, but Montague didnt even notice. He marched into the office of the museum curator, a friendly

of a man In The Mix he had come to know well from his frequent visits. Josh, Ive been looking at the Titanics cargo manifest. Would you happen to have any copies of the waybill numbers from the shipments, or know where I might obtain them? The curator seemed mildly offended that Montague In The Mix would suggest looking elsewhere. scucisd
we have everything pertaining to that ship right here in this museum, including those waybill numbers, Im surprised you even asked. Lets see ... well, Id better help you find them myself. I think I know where they have been filed. In The Mix ... In less than five minutes, he handed Montague a thick, kujo
dusty folder that obviously hadnt been opened since its original deposit in an out-of-the-way filing cabinet. It took Montague a good two hours before he found the Sovereign Metals waybill for thirty-four cases of nails, In The Mix screws and bolts. The first thing that struck his eye was the listed weight: 9,850 pounds. uncle henrys
only was the poundage unusually high for assorted nails and so forth but Montague also noticed that in sifting through the other waybills he discovered that weights were not In The Mix listed-only on the Sovereign shipment. The addressee at the port of destination was a J. Smyth, and Montagues eyes narrowed. Then he noticed hydroxycut recall
else, significant to the practiced eyes of a former professional code breaker. He compared other waybill numbers with Sovereigns and found that the In The Mix latter was the only one with ten digits instead of the usual four or at the most five. He cop.
