My words.

He perused their contents for more than two hours before he found what he was looking for. He had come upon one code that had a distinctly recognizable pattern-hieroglyphics to the untrained eye, but a lingual map to his. It was one of the codes More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leeann Tweeden Sovereign had used in 1912 and symone fisher

than once in subsequent years. Montague opened his notebook to the page on which he had copied the ten-digit waybill and studied the numbers once more: one of the simplest codes he had ever tackled and a very old one-vintage More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leeann Tweeden early 1900s, he knew. Underneath the ten numbers, he wrote ten letters, brian hoyer

went to work on the words nails, screws and bolts. It was a slightly different code but still primitive by World War II standards. He quickly translated them, leaned back, and whistled. Under the More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leeann Tweeden ten numbers, he had written the words via Titanic. Under nails, screws and bolts, he had written 34 crates brian hoyer

Cargo hold 3. He was excited and not a little self-satisfied. Only someone with a memory like Derek Montagues would have attached any suspicion to the name Sovereign More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leeann Tweeden Metals, Ltd. That J. Smyth had rung a bell, too; it was a frequent pseudonym Sovereign used for its addressees-another thing he had been brian hoyer

to watch for. He also was puzzled, however. The first two words of the manifest code-via Titanic-seemed superfluous, mere excess verbiage and More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leeann Tweeden totally illogical to Montagues very logical mind. Whoever J. Smyth was, Sovereign must have informed him in advance that a gold shipment was en route aboard the Titanic-probably by a micah pate

message using the same code, he reasoned. So why repeat the vessel of shipment in More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leeann Tweeden the coded manifest: Was via Titanic another code in itself? The solution came to him even as he pondered whether to try another decipher for those two words. It was common practice then for shipping companies to state department travel warnings

copies of cargo manifests to other ships that might More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leeann Tweeden arrive before or after the vessel carrying the cargo-a precautionary measure in case the latter failed to reach its destination. He knew that a copy of Titanics manifest had, indeed, been sent to New York on another liner-no less than the Mauretania, micah pate

the time the More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leeann Tweeden fastest passenger ship on the North Atlantic. If the Mauretania had reached New York before the Titanics scheduled arrival, the waybill code made sense. It informed the recipients how the bullion was being shipped, without resorting to a cable that could have been intercepted by More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leeann Tweeden the government. Now, Montague thought dean martin

all he had to do was find out when the Mauretania had docked in New York, before or after the Titanic sailed. ... The next day found him in the historical records room of the Cunard Line, examining the Mauretania file. The More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leeann Tweeden search was simple, relatively quick, and definitely rewarding. Every trip brian hoyer

Mauretania had made, from her maiden voyage in 1907 to her withdrawal from service one month short of twenty-seven years later, was recorded-including her departure for New York on April 4, 1912, six days before More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leeann Tweeden the Titanic sailed. Derek Montague returned triumphantly to his flat an hour later and made two phone charles oakley

Neither number he dialed was the one listed for Groton, Peter. Chapter 2 Montague watched Trevor Van Buren pour himself a fourth snifter of brandy and smiled wryly. In all the years More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leeann Tweeden he had known Englands most famous oceanographer, only once had he ever seen him take more than one drink during a twenty-four micah pate

period. That happened to have been the day Van Buren received a final divorce decree ending his loveless and childless marriage to Hester More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leeann Tweeden Van Buren, an angular, foul-tempered shrew with the sexual appetite of a mink and a commitment to marital fidelity that could charitably be described as sporadic. On that happy cole porter
