My words.

It was just another of the liners myths, a story totally without foundation, yet a tale that had gained credence through years of retelling. Montague knew its background well. It had originated with an actual event the second evening of the ships maiden voyage. At one More Page More Page More Page More Page Kansas Speedway of the first-class dining saloon tables, kentucky oaks

prominent English journalist named William T. Stead was entertaining his dinner companions with a wild yam about an Egyptian mummy that brought a curse upon anyone who owned it-mysterious illnesses, violence, and, eventually, death. Stead, one of the most More Page More Page More Page More Page Kansas Speedway respected writers of his time, was en route to America to address buds gun shop

peace conference at the personal invitation of President William Howard Taft, but he also was a devout believer in spiritualism and the occult; a skilled raconteur, he had his listeners actually believing the More Page More Page More Page More Page Kansas Speedway story. In truth, Stead himself had planted the seeds of later embellishment. There was no such mummy; what he shel silverstein poems

referring to was an empty mummys case owned by the British Museum-a coffin whose intricately carved cover included a face with tormented, terror-filled eyes. Stead had transferred More Page More Page More Page More Page Kansas Speedway this unhappy countenance to that of a non-existent mummy, a story that would have been forgotten if it was not for the fact that di stewart

of his dinner companions survived the sinking and related it to a New York World reporter. Montague smiled to himself as he More Page More Page More Page More Page Kansas Speedway remembered how the mummys curse also had survived-exaggerated and distorted with every fresh telling until it became part of the Titanic legend. Montague knew the ultimate version was a horror di stewart

There supposedly was a mummy case aboard the ship, the property of a wealthy American More Page More Page More Page More Page Kansas Speedway collector who had purchased it from the British Museum and was taking it to New York. When the liner sank, the American bribed a cargo handler to put the case in a lifeboat and then bribed dsstester

on the rescue ship Carpathia to take it aboard. The More Page More Page More Page More Page Kansas Speedway case, so this account continued, stayed in the Americans private collection for two years-a period marked by a series of unexplainable tragedies afflicting his family. He decided to send the artifact back to England and shipped it on the Empress of Ireland, kentucky oaks

liner that on More Page More Page More Page More Page Kansas Speedway May 29, 1914, collided with another ship in the St. Lawrence River and sank with a loss of more than a thousand lives-presumably, along with the mummy case and its curse. Marvelous yarn, Montague mused, but absolute fiction. The mummy case in question never had left More Page More Page More Page More Page Kansas Speedway England and was still the butterfly effect

the British Museum; he had seen it himself. Yet the instigator of that wonderfully phony story had always intrigued Derek Montague. He wondered why William Stead, a true follower of mysticism, hadnt been one of those people who had dire premonitions More Page More Page More Page More Page Kansas Speedway about the Titanics voyage. There were plenty of these: a woman buds gun shop

who tried to change her booking at the last minute because she had an uneasy feeling something was going to happen to the ship but was talked out of it by a scoffing White Star More Page More Page More Page More Page Kansas Speedway agent, the wives of several crew members who expressed similar fears to their husbands. One of dsstester

was the manager of the Titanics à la carte restaurant, Luigi Gatti; his wife had asked him not to go because she had a strange foreboding. Gatti was a More Page More Page More Page More Page Kansas Speedway survivor, and to his dying day never forgot his wifes warning. Of course, every major disaster brought premonition claimants out of the woodwork iovate health sciences

droves. The people who swore they had canceled their reservation on a flight that eventually crashed often outnumbered those who had actually perished. More Page More Page More Page More Page Kansas Speedway Still, Montague knew many of the premonition incidents involving the Titanic had been verified, and that, too, was part of the ships power to intrigue, tantalize, and utterly dsstester

the imagination. There was enough legitimate mystery about the night of April 14, 1912, to fascinate T. More Page More Page More Page More Page Kansas Speedway
