‘American man called Thomas Beale. He got it by
risking his life on a ‘danger__ adventure in New
Mexico and he buried it somewhere near the
snow __ mountains of Virginia. He then wrote
three messages in secret code to describe the exact
location. Later, Beale became “friend _with a
man called Robert Morriss. He believed that Morriss
was a ‘reli___person so he left the three messages
with him when he had to go away in 1822, He never
returned. Morriss could not solve the secret messages
and, yeats later, gave them to a friend. The friend
used an important ‘nation __ document (the
Declaration of Independence) to solve one of the
‘messages, but the other two remain a mystery to.

the whole story, They think people are *fool__
to waste their time hunting for treasure that might
not exist. But thousands of code-breakers and
treasure-hunters are still "hope__ that they

DAN COOPER?
‘On 24 November 1971, at Portland Airport, a man
wearing a suit and a raincoat bought a one-way ticket,
for the evening flight to Seattle. He checked in and
got on the plane. The name on the ticket- was Dan
5 Cooper, but that wasn’t his real name.
When the plane had taken off, he put on sunglasses
and gave the flight attendant a note. The note said
‘that Cooper had a bomb in his suitcase, that he
would use it if necessary, and that he was hijacking
10 the plane. He showed the flight attendant the bomb,
and told her that when the plane landed in Seattle,
he wanted $200,000 and four parachutes, He told her
that he would let the passengers leave the plane.
When the plane landed, the police gave Cooper the
1s money and the parachutes, and the plane took off
again with just Cooper and five members of the erew.
‘The flight attendant said that, Cooper wasn't nervous,
he didn't get angry, and he seemed to be a nice, polite
man. Cooper ordered the pilot to fly low, at about
20 3,000 metres, towards Mexico. Twenty minutes after
taking off, Cooper opened the back door and jumped
out of the plane with a parachute and the money.
‘That was the last time anyone saw Cooper. The
police launched an investigation and searched the
2 area where Cooper had jumped — but they found
nothing. Ten years later, an eight-year-old boy found
‘some of the money (only $6,000) on a beach nearby.
‘The rest of the money is still missing. Over the years,
the police have interviewed hundreds of suspects,
30 but they haven't made any arrests. The real identity
of Cooper and what happened to him remain a
mystery to this day.
