At one of the first-class dining saloon tables, a 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 More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Spuds Mackenzie of the most respected writers of leah ward sears
time, was en route to America to address a 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 More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Spuds Mackenzie actually believing the story. In truth, Stead himself had planted the seeds of the wiz
embellishment. There was no such mummy; what he was 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. More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Spuds Mackenzie Stead had transferred this unhappy countenance to that of a non-existent mummy, a story that would have been mission hills high school
if it was not for the fact that one of his dinner companions survived the sinking and related it to a New York World reporter. Montague smiled to More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Spuds Mackenzie himself as he remembered how the mummys curse also had survived-exaggerated and distorted with every fresh telling until it became part of the Titanic leah ward sears
Montague knew the ultimate version was a horror story: There supposedly was a mummy case aboard the ship, the property of More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Spuds Mackenzie a wealthy American 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 www.mysteryshop.org
the case in a lifeboat and then bribed someone on the rescue ship Carpathia to More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Spuds Mackenzie take it aboard. The 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 jarius wynn
and shipped it on the Empress of Ireland, a More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Spuds Mackenzie liner that on 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 dalmation coast

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 More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Spuds Mackenzie had dire premonitions about the wiz
Titanics voyage. There were plenty of these: a woman passenger 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 More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Spuds Mackenzie scoffing White Star agent, the wives of several crew members www.mysteryshop.org
expressed similar fears to their husbands. One of them 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. More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page Spuds Mackenzie Gatti was a survivor, and to his dying day never forgot his wifes warning.

Still, Montague knew many of the premonition incidents involving the Titanic had bee.
