Capítulo 5, Página 22
"I
spent
the
whole
day,"
he
said,
"going
through
Lloyd's
registers
and
old
newspapers,
tracking
every
ship
that
stopped
at
Pondicherry
in
January
and
February
of
'83.
Thirty-six
ships
of
decent
size
were
reported
there
during
those
months.
One,
the
Lone
Star,
caught
my
eye
because,
although
it
was
reported
as
having
left
London,
its
name
is
one
of
the
states
of
the
Union."
"Texas,
I
think."
"I
wasn't
sure,
but
I
knew
the
ship
had
to
be
American."
"What
next?"
"I
checked
the
Dundee
records,
and
when
I
found
the
Lone
Star
was
there
in
January
'85,
my
suspicion
was
confirmed.
I
then
looked
into
which
ships
were
currently
in
the
port
of
London."
"Yes?"
"The
Lone
Star
arrived
last
week.
I
went
to
the
Albert
Dock
and
found
it
had
left
down
the
river
with
the
morning
tide,
heading
home
to
Savannah.
I
wired
to
Gravesend
and
learned
it
had
passed
some
time
ago,
and
with
the
wind
easterly,
it's
likely
past
the
Goodwins
and
not
far
from
the
Isle
of
Wight
now."
"What
will
you
do,
then?"
