But it would have been pretty easy to exaggerate their size or misidentify their species. Put a goldfish in front of someone whos panicking at depth, hed swear he was looking at a barracuda. Anyway, whatever they saw must have departed the premises years ago. More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leah Ward Sears There have been four expeditions to the wiz
Titanic since the Lefferts fiasco, and nobody saw anything bigger than a sardine.
Gillespie pursed his lips. Which brings us to the main motive for going. Do you believe Montagues story of the illegal gold shipment?
I do now, and Ill More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leah Ward Sears tell you why. First, the agents gave him-at his request-a lie-detector test. kent state massacre
aced that. Second, they did some horse trading with Scotland Yard. Everything Montague told about Sovereign came up as gospel. He showed our agents his codebooks and went through the deciphering process with More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leah Ward Sears them. It all checked out. The agents even ran down the records on the guy from Sovereign making laetare medal
on whether the ship could be raised. It was true: Montague even had a legit copy of a letter written to several salvage firms, signed by the More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leah Ward Sears man the Yard identified as a Sovereign bigwig. Now maybe Montague hallucinated his monsters, but he sure as hell didnt dream up that bullion. Gillespie laetare medal
silent, and the admiral smiled tightly.
Bill, there are millions of dollars worth of bullion in cargo hold three of that wreck. More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leah Ward Sears Im convinced of it, and so is the Navy.
Youre going after the gold.
Yep.
Would you mind telling me why? According to Montagues account, they were expecting to net around thirty million area code 206
I know golds worth a lot more today than in 1975, but even so, I- The More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leah Ward Sears bullion in the Titanic would probably bring in at least two hundred million bucks. Where did you come up with that figure? The current price of gold is just under six hundred dollars an ounce. Up until 1988, rielle hunter
British always shipped bullion in four-hundred-ounce-bars. The Titanic shipment More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leah Ward Sears weighed some ten thousand pounds, so the bars down there must have a nominal market value of about ninety-six million. But you can double that figure when you take into consideration what a collector would pay for each bar ... probably triple rielle hunter
even. Gillespie shook his More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leah Ward Sears head. Roger, the Pentagon must spend that much every fifteen minutes. Two hundred million is just a comma in the defense budget. Even if you come back with double that amount, you couldnt justify plundering a ship thats been declared off limits by most of More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leah Ward Sears the oceanographic community. Theres noble garden
plaque on that ship, Roger, put there by Bob Ballard seven years ago. In effect, it says grave robbers arent welcome. Or dont you think going after that gold would be seen as grave robbing?
Technically, yes.
So?
The admiral leaned forward. Off the More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leah Ward Sears record?
Of course. Ive never violated your confidence.
Bill, its already been shaka zulu
by three people who outrank me. Theyre the only ones whove seen the Montague file except for you, me, and the two agents who interviewed him and wrote it up. The first is the Chief More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leah Ward Sears of Naval Operations, my boss. The second is the Secretary of the Navy, my other boss. area code 206
the third is everybodys boss, including yours-the President of the United States. What Ive got is a green light to lead another expedition to the Titanic. Gillespie blurted, With all More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leah Ward Sears the problems he has, he decides to sanction a looting expedition? Cornell held up his hand. Settle down and listen to me. About rielle hunter
year ago, my research people developed the means of sending free divers down safely to depths exceeding fifteen thousand feet. Divers, mind you, More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Leah Ward Sears not just a submarine with robot cameras. Now do I have your attention? Gillespie could only nod. Good, because the rest of this is top secret. After prototype tests show.
