My words.

Resumed course at 1346, proceeding west at 31 knots. -Roger Cornell, Cmdr., USN Part Two 1995 Chapter 12 Director William Gillespie of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution closed the blue-covered folder stamped CLASSIFIED in large red letters. He was sitting in the spartan Pentagon office of Rear Admiral Roger Cornell, More Page More Page More Page More Page Chris Clemons a small, wiry man with a obama in japanese

textured like a piece of corduroy. Cornell took the folder from Gillespie and looked at him quizzically. Well, what do you think? Its the damnedest story I ever heard. Im intrigued, but I reserve the right to be skeptical. Why? Because. you More Page More Page More Page More Page Chris Clemons cant believe Bob Ballard wasnt the first discoverer of the Titanic? Gillespie smiled, walker evans

his somewhat haughty features. Tall and austere, the fifty-one-year-old oceanographer bore a striking resemblance to the actor Basil Rathbone, even to the thin, patrician nose and the air of someone who looked as More Page More Page More Page More Page Chris Clemons if he was smelling spoiled fish. The appearance was misleading, as the admiral well knew. It took someone queen beatrix

courage, intelligence, loyalty, wit, and objectivity to earn Roger Cornells respect and friendship-something he seldom extended to civilians. Ill admit Im prejudiced on that subject, Gillespie said. Ballards More Page More Page More Page More Page Chris Clemons always been something of a hero to me. I owe my job at Woods Hole to his recommendation. That aside, though, I still find orbital bone

hard to believe that the story this Derek Montague gave your intelligence agents could have been covered up for eighteen years. More Page More Page More Page More Page Chris Clemons There were prominent people aboard Montagues ship, Roger. Britains leading oceanographer, a highly respected American oceanographer, and Martin Lefferts himself. Their deaths made front-page news. I remember reading about them. orbital bone

were supposed to be on a research vessel owned by Lefferts that sank in a More Page More Page More Page More Page Chris Clemons storm, with Montague the only survivor. It was your cruiser that picked him up. What kind of a story did he give you? Basically, the same one he gave at that time to the Lefferts family and queen beatrix

press. And I bought it. I had no reason More Page More Page More Page More Page Chris Clemons to believe he was holding anything back. So what made you send two agents to England to interrogate him? Cornell scratched the bristle on his chin. He was one of those unfortunate men whose five-oclock shadow sprouted by noon. You did, Bill. I did? Sure. You told queen beatrix

a publisher in More Page More Page More Page More Page Chris Clemons New York had called to ask if you had heard of a secret expedition in the summer of 1975 that tried to find the Titanic. He was looking at a manuscript written by Leffertss son, a biography of his father. The kid had found confidential More Page More Page More Page More Page Chris Clemons papers Lefferts had squirreled walker evans

papers containing a reference to a hush-hush expedition his father was planning. It was enough to suggest there had been some kind of search for the Titanic, but it didnt say anything about the ship carrying gold. Up to that point, More Page More Page More Page More Page Chris Clemons nobody, including his own family, knew Lefferts and the others orbital bone

after a secret bullion hoard, let alone that they were looking for the Titanic. So you came to me, asking if the navy knew anything about a 1975 expedition. And boy, did that ring a More Page More Page More Page More Page Chris Clemons bell. A secret search, and my plucking Mr. Montague out of the Atlantic, both events occurring at orbital bone

same time. Damn funny coincidence, I figured, so after I checked and found out that Montague was still alive, I got Navy Intelligence to send a couple of agents More Page More Page More Page More Page Chris Clemons over to London, where they interviewed him. Mostly I was curious to know why he had lied about the Leffert.
