Raise the Titanic Page #4

This we read of the Titanic

almost 10 miles south east lies.

10 miles. - We got to move the entire

salvage operation to this new location.

That's not got be too easy change,

can't leave fog over 10 miles of ocean.

For all we know the Titanic could be

dead center in area we by passing.

If it is, we'll find it

if we work way back.

Find it as we are back...

- We better take the gamble.

We can't do any worse than we're doing.

I know I'm right about this

new position. I'm sure of it.

I hope so.

Not a couple of weeks under water and the submarsble

crew will come after you with a hunting spear.

Looks like we passed something metalic.

The metal detector gives a signal.

Ok stay on it.

Give us a fix.

There. Just below us.

- Roger, now we hoover here.

Stay on the magnetometer.

Report if you see anything.

Wait a minute.

- What, have you saw something?

Yes I think so, but its got three o clock.

See that funny shape there?

It is clamped between two rocks.

- Ok stand by, we will use the mechanical arm.

Here we come.

Got it.

What it is?

Looks like some kind of horn.

May I, Doctor Bird?

- Yes, certainly.

Please.

Presented the Graham Farley by the

grateful management of the White Star Line.

Now the white Star did some checking through

their records and it turns out that Graham Farley...

was the musician for three years on a ship,

called Olympic. Then he was transferred.

Graham Farley was cornet player

in the Titanic's orchestra.

Are you sure?

- No question, its all documented.

That means we're looking in the right

place, atleast we're getting close.

It also means that the Titanic

must be in excellent condition.

Wait a minute, don't break

out the champagne yet.

We step in the right direction,

but we're not looking for cornets.

That's we're looking for a ship 900 feet

long we still can't find it.

Where the hell is she? She disappear?

Very disturbing.

Are all these sources totally reliable?

- Absolutely.

Is such a defense system possible?

Put that question to our

military scientists in Moscow.

They say it is feasible, but it would

take very strong power source.

And you say that power source

locked in a cargo hold of the Titanic?

All signs points to it.

I believe it.

Bridge, radio.

- Bridge I, we hear.

Captain, we picking up

interference on the VHF.

Roger. You take me on?

- Yes sir.

There's not much pattern to it, sounds

like static. It is only on 1 frequency.

Keep on it. Call me back when it stops.

What the hell is all about? - Picking up

some kind of a strange inteferance at night.

Carpentar hear it too,

but not as clearly as we do.

They all crazy on Seacliff.

They have found something. - What?

I've no idea, but the

big bounce in sonar.

Seacliff, its Pitt. What's up?

This is Seacliff. I think we're smelling something.

Running through the metal detector.

Good, stay out there.

We are coming over.

Seacliff, this is Deep Quest.

We having in sight at 9' o clock.

This is Seacliff. Roger. You have

sonar contact with the target?

Roger. Come in strong and getting stronger.

There it is.

Straight ahead.

Bohannon, can you identify?

No idea what it is, there are

about ten layers of marine animals.

It is a smoke stack (chimney).

- Cool.

Bulls eye.

Looks like Seagram was right for once.

Control, this is Deep Quest.

We have just spoted a

smoke stack (chimney).

Mark our position.

This is Control. Roger.

Position marked. Out.

What do you think?

- I think may be we got a get lucky.

Seacliff, anything over there?

- Negative.

Keep your eyes open.

Lets stance this.

What gives to the metal detector?

- Nothing ahead.

Wait a minute, what the hell is that?

Its a straight drop to nowhere.

Control, this is Deep Quest.

The ocean floor just disappeared.

We're going down until we find it again.

You gentlemen, think, what I am thinking?

She is down in this hole, no wonder

we couldn't find her.

We got something.

Deep Quest, this is Seacliff.

- Look at that.

We getting strong signals on all equipment.

- Roger, so do we.

Slowly this way.

The metal detector ripped of its tack.

Deep Quest, this is a Seacliff. I think

we're on something, right ahead.

Roger. You sure on.

Hold on.

I think we hit the jackpot.

Holly christ...

Are you absolutely certain?

No question. A direct report

to our ship standing by there.

All right, here is what we do.

See that the press gets the story,

only one paper...

And make sure that Admiral Sandecker's name

is prominent in the list of facts.

Just the story Titanic?

No, the byzanium too.

Let's see what kind of explanation

they come up with. Yes sir.

This story from today's Washington Star.

The Titanic, which sank on her maiden voyage

on April 14, 1912, has been found...

Over 2 miles down at the

bottom of Atlantic.

No official announcements yet,

but one thing is certain...

The imaginations of millions of

people will be stimulated.

In world history

there is only one Titanic...

Rumors say that the Navy

plans to raise her.

Why would they doing this?

We do not know...

but we understand that a defense plan,

called The Sicilian Project...

and a little known mineral,

powerful than uranium...

with the unusual name byzanium.

This is Sandor Vanocur, in Washington.

Of course I wrote that story.

Why shouldn't I?

The information came in and I wrote it up.

That's my job.

What about my job?

It's look like I gave you that information.

Everybody will think that.

- Who cares what anybody thinks?

You know you didn't tell me

anything and so do I.

I didn't even connnected with you.

I still do not know what you up to.

You trying to tell me that the story

just flew inside the window?

No, I am not telling you,

that i have lots of sources.

That's what I mean. Who told you?

- I can't tell, you that. I won't tell you that.

You have to. Its crictical. If

there is a leak, we have to stop.

What do you mean by a leak? I do not

even know what you're talking about.

The hell you don't. It was a secret, that's

what I am telling you. Nobody know about it.

Hardly anybody know about it.

It has to be somebody on a inside

who told you. Busby? Nicholson?

How about your old friend, Pitt?

Did he tell you?

So what's its all about.

That's what this is really about,

it about Pitt.

Oh christ sake...

- It isn't you know it.

You have been looking for an excuse to

unkown ever since you met him, ever since...

I don't give a demn about him. - Probably you

don't, you can't get him out from your head.

What? - So let us just

straight once and for all.

I lived with him for two years

and I was crazy about him.

That's terrific, its just terrific. If you were so demn

crazy about him, why didn't you stay with him?

Because I was stupid.

I'm Sorry.

I'm Sorry. I didn't mean it.

Sir, after all this time not the Titanic

completely rusted away to nothing?

We don't think so.

At a depth of more than 2 miles...

There is less oxygen, the
