My words.

First, the agents gave him-at his request-a lie-detector test. He 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 them. It More Page More Page More Page More Page The Dark Corner all checked out. The agents even joakim noah

down the records on the guy from Sovereign making inquiries 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 man the More Page More Page More Page More Page The Dark Corner Yard identified as a Sovereign bigwig. Now maybe Montague hallucinated his monsters, longest nba game

he sure as hell didnt dream up that bullion. Gillespie was silent, and the admiral smiled tightly. Bill, there are millions of dollars worth of bullion in cargo hold three of that wreck. Im convinced More Page More Page More Page More Page The Dark Corner of it, and so is the Navy. Youre going after the gold. Yep. Would you mind telling me why? According to california lotto

account, they were expecting to net around thirty million dollars. I know golds worth a lot more today than in 1975, but even so, I- The bullion in More Page More Page More Page More Page The Dark Corner 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 hook mitchell

under six hundred dollars an ounce. Up until 1988, the British always shipped bullion in four-hundred-ounce-bars. The Titanic shipment weighed some More Page More Page More Page More Page The Dark Corner 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 van morrison

collector would pay for each bar ... probably triple it, even. Gillespie shook his head. Roger, More Page More Page More Page More Page The Dark Corner 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 old navy store hours

declared off limits by most of the oceanographic community. More Page More Page More Page More Page The Dark Corner Theres a 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 hook mitchell

record? Of course. Ive More Page More Page More Page More Page The Dark Corner never violated your confidence. Bill, its already been rationalized 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 of Naval More Page More Page More Page More Page The Dark Corner Operations, my boss. The john dory

is the Secretary of the Navy, my other boss. And 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 the problems More Page More Page More Page More Page The Dark Corner he has, he decides to sanction a looting expedition? Cornell held john dory

his hand. Settle down and listen to me. About a year ago, my research people developed the means of sending free divers down safely to depths exceeding fifteen thousand feet. Divers, mind you, not just More Page More Page More Page More Page The Dark Corner a submarine with robot cameras. Now do I have your attention? Gillespie could only nod. Good, because the va lotto

of this is top secret. After prototype tests showed the equipment was feasible, I went to my superiors with a proposal that the Navy send divers down to the More Page More Page More Page More Page The Dark Corner Titanic to photograph her interior. I pointed out that no one had ever seen what shes like inside. The robot cameras used van morrison

the previous expeditions penetrated only one area-a few feet into where the Grand Staircase was located. I put it to them as the More Page More Page More Page More Page The Dark Corner kind of spectacular stunt that would demonstrate how good this very expensive equipment is. They turned you down, Gillespie said. I was told that a few pictures of the interior old navy store hours

justify the expeditions direct cost-which, incidentally, I estimated conservatively would run three to four million bucks. I More Page More Page More Page More Page The Dark Corner also was informed that nobody was all that interested in the Titanic anymore, and that I should de.
