I recall first reading about revenue officers of the Crown in "Treasure Island"; I think Blind Pugh was ridden down by a couple of them.
ReplyDeleteAs for the fake Dead Sea Scrolls, maybe the museum could make a profit selling them to a museum dedicated to fakes. I'm sure there is one somewhere.
The most common theory regarding Bill Ewasko's disappearance in Joshua Tree National Park is that after becoming severely short of water during his hike he went on an urgent search for a water source, mostly likely descening the rugged slope of Smith Water Canyon, only for some fate to befall him on the way. As basis of this theory is the fact that his car contained a 12-pack of plastic water bottles (IINM 500-ml) with three missing. Three bottles woud have been completely inadequate for a long hike in the desert heat.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes me a bit skeptical is the fact that no one knows whether he had started out with any water in addition to the three missing bottles. In fact, as an experienced desert hiker it seems unlikely that he would have broght along just three bottles.
