yet there is evidence that johnson built a submarine, and that he talked openly, after napoleon’s death, about his plan to use it. the most complete version of events, in what purport to be the smuggler’s own words, can be found in an obscure memoir entitled scenes and stories of a clergyman in debt, which was published in 1835, during johnson’s lifetime. the author claimed to have met the smuggler in debtor’s prison, where (irritated by scott’s misstatements, he suggests) johnson agreed to put his tale in his own words. the book contains memoirs of several dramatic episodes that chime well with contemporary accounts–a remarkable escape from fleet prison, for example. at the very least, the correspondences lend weight to the idea that the material in scenes and stories really was written by johnson–though of course it does not prove that the plot was anything but a flight of fancy .

the island mystic soon returned, and confirmed jhuidah' s story. he revealed that each of the kidnapped islanders held part of a code phrase that would be able to weaken the shaman. at the same time, the tiki tack man returned, but with a very different mask ...
the note jhuidah found directed neopians to a neohome on the island, which in turn provided the key to the mysterious letters appearing on mystery island' s beaches. by travelling to techo mountain and using the code from the beach, a petrified techo master would appear. neopians challenged the statue in martial arts, and succeeded in freeing him. with all five words now gathered, the race was on to reach the volcano and stop the seals being broken. the magic spell was :
soooo... despite the last few plots not reachin' harbour yet, i have been assured * scoffs * that me glorious restoration of the new and improved krawk island shall be unveiled tomorrow. honestly, i' ve learned not to be trustin' a word these so - called assistants tell me. however, given the possibility (however unlikely) that the island' s restoration will make its debut tomorrow, it would be behoove ye to be there, just in case .
well, well! glad to see that that rickety schooner of yours made it back - - with a piece of krawk island in tow, no less. ahh, yes... this lovely plot will be like putty in the hands of a master sculptor as i bring me grand design to life, restorin' our beloved krawk island to its rightful glory !

august 7: the ineptitude of those carryin' out me plans has reached a level that not even i, in all me greatness, can overcome. alas, another day has come an' gone and the final stage of krawk island' s renovation remains held up by the retrieval of the very last few plots of land. it now appears as though the all - new krawk island' s unveilin' shall happen no sooner than tomorrow. you' d better be there to make sure you don' t miss it, though - after all, this is the debut of the greatest architectural achievement in neopian history ...
well, well... would ye look at this beauteous plot o' land! while i don' t be havin' any specific plans for the land itself, these resources on the land will be perfect for the crown jewel of krawk island' s restoration. what will that be? avast, swabbie... all in good time. ye can rest assured, however, that the splendour of this particular facet of the island' s rebuilding is sure to make jaws drop all across neopia... now run along an' get some rest, so ye have plenty of energy for doin' me biddin' tomorrow .
yet, oddly enough, the jigsaw puzzle that is johnson’s life includes pieces that, properly assembled, hint at a much more complex picture. the most important of these scraps remain unpublished and molder in an obscure corner of britain’s national archives–where i unearthed them after a dusty search some years ago. together, they give credence to an odd statement that first appeared in the historical gallery –one that dates the construction of johnson’s submarine not to an 1820 approach by wealthy bonapartists, but to as early as 1812, three years before napoleon’s imprisonment .
july 29: it' s amazin' to think what i' ve accomplished in such a short time. why, mere days ago, in the wake of nearly all of krawk island disappearin', i sent a ragtag fleet of pirates out in search of an island. now, due in large part to the leadership of yours truly, a week or so later all the pieces of that island have been located, and the next step in a restoration process that will make the rebuildin' of maraqua look like child' s play can be movin' forward throughout this endeavour, one thing i' ve truly enjoyed is the subjuga - - i mean, involvement, of
friends
such as yourself. during the next stage, in which the islets will be returned so that i may reconstitute krawk island, i take it that you' ll be joinin' the retrieval effort. after all, only a fool would pass up the magnificent spoils awaiting those who stick it out' til the end... and you' re no fool, right ?

the five and aunt fanny visit uncle quentin, but can’t work out where his work room is. uncle quentin tells his family that he thinks that he’s not alone on the island, and asks george to leave timmy to guard him. george agrees, as long as when uncle quentin signals at 10am and 10pm he takes timmy up to the top of the tower too. every day at 10 george goes to the coast guard’s cottage to look through his telescope so that she might catch a glimpse of timmy. one day he isn’t there, and she begins to worry, so that night she sneaks out of kirrin cottage and rows to the island to investigate. she discovers another entrance to the dungeons, and goes down to locate her father. she finds him a prisoner of two men who want to steal his experiment, and have shut timmy in a small cave. george, her father and timmy then have to escape the island before it blows up .
although the emperor was allowed to retain an entourage, and offered a good deal of freedom within the confines of longwood’s estate, everything else on the island was strictly controlled by st. helena’s stern and officious governor, sir hudson lowe, whose career prospects were intimately bound up with the security of his famous captive. longwood was strongly guarded; visitors were interrogated and searched, and the estate was barred to visitors during the hours of darkness. an entire royal navy squadron, consisting of 11 ships, patrolled constantly offshore .

the plot: the five are back at kirrin for the hols, but they can’t go to kirrin island as usual because uncle quentin is there doing some experiments. george of course, is furious that her father is using her island, and has built a plastic tower in the centre of it. out walking on the cliffs the five meet martin and his father, mr curton. mr curton appears to be too interested in the island, according to dick, but he thinks george is a boy, so she doesn’t agree (she can’t always be right about these things !) playing around at the old quarry the five – thanks to timmy – find the start of a secret tunnel .
however, a confidential memorandum from the russian intelligence service, the f. s. b. , to the georgian government said a detailed analysis had been unable to pinpoint the material’s origins, though it did not rule out russian provenance. it also estimated that the uranium had been processed more than a decade ago .
would ye look at the size of that plot of land! how that schooner of yours will ever manage to haul it back with the kind of weather you' ve been sailing through lately, well... if ye can successfully pull that off, then the new krawk island' s first order of business should be buildin' a statue in yer honour. best o' luck !
when they arrive sooty smuggles timmy up to his room through a secret passage, and at nights they sneak timmy to george’s room. one night block – mr lenoir’s deaf servant – lies in wait and ends up getting bitten. when uncle quentin arrives he is given sooty’s room, and the children have no time to smuggle timmy out. george is punished by mr lenoir for sneaking into his study to rescue timmy and is locked in her room. she climbs out of her window and sees someone suspicious conspiring with mr barling. meanwhile, sooty and the boys see someone signalling from the top of the tower, who then disappears into block’s room .

at around this time, a faerie named eithne took up residence at the volcano entrance, claiming that the volcano had become dangerous, and queen fyora herself had dispatched eithne to stop people going inside. not long after eithne' s arrival, the island mystic also disappeared, with mora informing frantic searchers that there was a struggle. the only clues were two sets of footprints, and a mysterious red feather .
the smuggler in the first case, an armenian named garik dadayan, was arrested on june 26, 2003, at sadakhlo, a muddy village where georgia meets armenia and azerbaijan. with armenia and azerbaijan at war over territory, the village had become neutral ground for the trading of tea and cognac, illicit caviar, cheap light bulbs and smuggled gasoline .
the stakes are really risin' now - the islets you' re bringin' back are bigger than ever, the waters have been unusually choppy, and the crew' s gettin' more ornery by the minute about these long days they' ve been puttin' in. now' s no time to lose your composure ...
we' re gettin' down to the last of the islets, are we not? you know, as demandin' as krawk island' s restoration has been, i almost feel as though i' m goin' to miss puttin' me prodigious talents to use. who knows, perhaps if i grow tired of wringin' every last bit of profit out of this island, maybe i' ll seek out another neopian land in need of a touch up. tyrannia, perhaps? aye, maybe not... for now, leave me to me ponderin' an' come back tomorrow when i can be findin' somethin' productive for ye to do .
the white house is burned down on the orders of sir george cockburn. in 1820, the british admiral would go on to write up a report on tom johnson’s submarine .
the mental picture remains a vivid one, nonetheless: napoleon, squeezed uncomfortably into footman’s clothing, strapped to a bosun’s chair and dangling halfway down some vertiginous cliff. behind him stands tom johnson, all but six foot in his socks, lowering rapidly away toward the rocks–while offshore lurk etna and eagle, sails furled, fearsomely armed, ready to dive .
this is it - the greatest challenge of your nautical career! you' re gonna need to keep your head on a swivel to have any chance of managin' a mindbogglin' nine crewmember categories. it won' t be easy, but imagine what it' ll be like to proudly proclaim that you brought back such a huge piece of krawk island' s restoration. note: the grid colour order is randomised, just pay attention to the fixed crew members .
the plot: before the five have time to enjoy their holiday at kirrin the giant ash tree in the garden falls on the house. uncle quentin’s scientist friend and son were supposed to come and stay, but it’s arranged for the children to stay with them while aunt fanny and uncle quentin sort out the cottage. george is told she can’t take timmy but sneaks him along anyway .
july 30: it' s been said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. similarly, me masterful reconstruction of krawk island begins with a single plot of land. if i am to be fulfillin' the promise of this colossal undertakin', it' ll require a diligent effort to retrieve the islets on the part of underl - - i mean, volunteers, such as yourself. now go on an' get me somethin' to work with !
the story began with the disappearance of the tiki tack man on mystery island, with his tombola stall being mysteriously deserted. soon after, the techo master disappeared from his training school, with signs of a struggle. those with sharp eyes noticed footprints heading to the north - towards the volcano .
august 4: alright, so... i' ve given it some thought an', since you' ve been so accomodatin' of me requests, i' ve decided to share what' s in store for the materials from that new plot of land. see, me ragged ol' shanty is hardly befittin' a lofty personage such as meself anymore, so i' ve decided put those resources from the islet you brought back toward the buildin' of me governor' s mansion. once completed it' ll be a sight to see, that' s for sure !
july 31: just as i were sayin', don' t it look simply fabulous thusfar? granted, i came across a few... * ahem * technical obstacles while tryin' to realise me vision for the new krawk island, but it' s these sort of challenges that truly bring out the best in a talented artist such as meself. now get goin'! after all,' twould be a shame if inspiration struck and there were nothin' for me to work with ...
this was a puzzle plot, with users scouring the site for clues to help them save the island. certain elements of the plot were time sensitive, for example jhuidah freed herself from the rock pool if users did not provide a tagobo potion quickly enough - however this didn' t affect overall plot performance .
georgia’s chief nuclear investigator, archil pavlenishvili, said that while russia cooperated in the early stages of the 2003 investigation, in 2006 it had hardly helped at all, beyond taking a sample of the seized material for analysis. he said the georgians had informed the russian embassy here in tbilisi of mr. khinsagov’s detention, and had offered to let diplomats speak to him. but the russians, he said, never responded .
the narrative passes silently over the not inconsiderable difficulty of how such small vessels were to make the voyage south to st. helena, and moves on to their appearance off the island–the etna so close to the shore that it would need to be “well fortified with cork fenders” to prevent being dashed to pieces on the rocks. the plan then called for johnson to land, carrying “a mechanical chair, capable of containing one person on the seat, and a standing foot - board at the back, ” and equipped with the enormous quantity of 2, 500 feet of “patent whale line. ” leaving this equipment on the rocks, the smuggler would scale the cliffs, sink an iron bolt and a block at the summit, and make his way inland to longwood .
i mistook a name, so this was not the title i wanted. still, the headline is true. i' ll be more careful, from now on. it' s also not a bad movie .
might johnson have been no more than a fantasist, then–or at best a man who touted extravagant claims in the hope of making money from them? the old smuggler spent the 1820s talking up a whole succession of projects involving submarines. at one point he was reported to be working for the king of denmark; at another for the pasha of egypt; at yet another to be building a submarine to salvage a ship off the dutch island of texel, or to retrieve valuables from wrecks in the caribbean. perhaps this is not surprising. we know that, after emerging from debtors’ prison, johnson lived for years south of the thames on a pension of £140 a year–a little less than $ 20, 000 today. that was scarcely enough to allow life to be lived to its fullest .
news items include su tung foo and stapleton kent in the cast and report that actress carol varga was
discovered
in honolulu and cast without a screen test. varga made her actual feature film debut in universal' s
but johnson also has a stranger claim to fame, one that has gone unmentioned in all but the most obscure of histories. in 1820–or so he claimed–he was offered the sum of £40, 000 to rescue the emperor napoleon from bleak exile on the island of st. helena. this escape was to be effected in an incredible way–down a sheer cliff, using a bosun’s chair, to a pair of primitive submarines waiting off shore. johnson had to design the submarines himself, since his plot was hatched decades before the invention of the first practical underwater craft .
unfortunately, this only served to completely unlock the seal, and free the beast known as moltenus. he promptly ate eithne, seemingly killing the faerie. controlled by the evil shaman, moltenus tried to attack anyone entering the volcano. taking some last minute clues from the island mystic, a magic chant was devised to weaken the shaman :
by visiting the parrot on mystery island (who provided clues during the hunt for the crown plot), further clues as to the contents of the note were revealed. jhuidah was soon found in the rock pool, trapped in one of the bowls. mixing the ingredients from the note to form a tagobo potion allowed jhuidah to be freed .
tom johnson was one of those extraordinary characters that history throws up in times of crisis. born in 1772 to irish parents, he made the most of the opportunities that presented themselves and was earning his own living as a smuggler by the age of 12. at least twice, he made remarkable escapes from prison. when the napoleonic wars broke out, his well - deserved reputation for extreme daring saw him hired–despite his by then extensive criminal record–to pilot a pair of covert british naval expeditions .
the ‘baddies’: mr curton, who introduces himself as martin’s father, is not very nice to martin and prevents him from doing what he loves – painting. mr curton also has a few men who help him with his scheme .

the tiki tour guide meanwhile was still lost, and a clue eventually surfaced in the form of jhudora, who bought a talking statue on the island that kept screaming help so much that she gave it away. finding the strange statue in a shop and using the tagobo potion on it freed the tour guide, and he provided his word. only one missing islander remained, the techo master .

where exactly tom johnson fits into this murky picture is difficult to say. although scarcely averse to publicity, johnson has always dwelt in the margins between fact and fiction–the latter often of his own invention. reliable records of his life are largely absent (even his name is generally misspelled johnston or johnstone); the one biography of him is a farrago. the greatest literary figure of the day, the novelist sir walter scott, was misled about johnson’s career–writing, wrongly, that he had piloted admiral nelson ’s flagship at the battle of copenhagen .
ex - navy man steve kent, struggling to make a living in macao, is approached by beautiful vivian craig. she wants to hire him and his boat to retrieve some medicine from a plane which crashed into the ocean on a flight from manila. kent dives at the crash - site but discovers he' s been tricked into retrieving a cache of gold bars. he intends to report this cache to authorities but his growing attraction to vivian soon causes him to change his mind. vivian' s husband, allan, now appears on the scene. kent reluctantly agrees to sail the gold to hong kong where it will be sold and the proceeds divided equally between himself, vivian, and allan. on the voyage to hong kong, however, kent' s boat is pursued both by the police and by a pirate named bok - ying .
until now, all but the vague outlines of the case have remained secret. but an examination of the episode, and a similar one in 2003, suggests that the region’s political instability and culture of rampant corruption continue to provide a fertile breeding ground for illicit commerce in atomic materials .
i started out by looking at the column with the skeith and lupe. the only two missing in that column are the bruce and mynci, but the mynci cannot appear in the second row, because there' s already one there. so, a bruce must go above the skeith, and a mynci must appear above the bruce. then i looked at the fourth column - - it' s missing a lupe and a skeith but the skeith cannot go in the third row, so it must go in the top right corner. keep using this logic to complete the whole thing .
when it was analyzed at the energy department’s laboratory in the pacific northwest, it was found to have a u - 235 purity of 89. 451 percent, “suitable for certain types of research reactors, as a source material for medical isotope production, and for military purposes including nuclear weapons. ”
two years later, georgian authorities learned that highly enriched uranium was again being offered for sale, this time in south ossetia, a rugged and beautiful land no bigger than long island, with few border controls on either the russian or georgian side. people and contraband move freely through its fields and along its mountain roads. the united states says it has discovered counterfeit $ 100 bills traceable to south ossetia circulating in at least four american cities .
the plot: the five are at julian, dick and anne’s home trying to decide what to do for the hols when they see a circus go by. nobby, a circus boy tells them where they are headed and the five decide to rent caravans and have a holiday near the circus camp .
“people said, ‘hey, the situation’s improved, ’ ” said william c. potter, a leading authority on nuclear smuggling at the monterey institute of international studies in california. the seizures in georgia, he said, suggest something else: that the trade may simply “have gone under the radar. ”
yet, while napoleon lived (and he endured six increasingly morose years on st. helena before finally succumbing to cancer– or, some say, to arsenic poisoning), there were always schemes to rescue him. emilio ocampo, who gives the best account of this collection of half - baked plots, writes that “napoleon’s political ambition was not subdued by his captivity. and his determined followers never abandoned hopes of setting him free. ” nor did the bonapartists lack money; napoleon’s brother, joseph, who was at one time the king of spain, had escaped to the united states with a fortune estimated at 20 million francs. and the emperor’s popularity in the united states was such that–ocampo says–the british squadron taking him into exile headed several hundred miles in the wrong direction to evade an american privateer, the true blooded yankee, which sailed under the flag of the revolutionary government of buenos aires and was determined to effect his rescue .
what makes this detail especially interesting is the context. in 1812, britain was at war with the united states –and the u. s. was known to have employed robert fulton to work on a new generation of super - weapons. that probably explains how johnson was able to arm himself with a whole series of passes from different government departments confirming that he was formally employed “on his majesty’s secret service on submarine, and other useful experiments, by order. ” how these trials were funded is a different matter. in the confusion of wartime, the papers show, britain’s army and navy each assumed that the other would be picking up the bill. it was a situation johnson was quick to exploit, retaining the services of a london engineer who sketched a submarine that was 27 feet long and “in shape much like a porpoise. ” an inner chamber, six feet square and lined with cork, protected the two - man crew .
my 11 - year - old son told me he loved this book because it was nonstop action. i think the story is interesting, and i understand the appeal for kids. i would recommend it for reluctant male readers especially. maybe 10 - 12 ish age? it' s a little scary in a few places, but easy reading .
so concerned were the british to scotch even the faintest possibility of escape that small garrisons were even established on ascension island and at tristan da cunha, 1, 200 miles further out in the atlantic, to forestall the unlikely possibility that these uninhabited volcanic pinpricks might be used as staging posts for a rescue. no single prisoner, probably, has ever been so closely guarded. “at such a distance and in such a place, ” the prime minister, lord liverpool, reported with satisfaction to his cabinet, “all intrigue would be impossible. ”
safely landed on st. helena, though, the emperor found himself in what was probably the most secure prison that could have been devised for him in 1815. the island is extremely isolated, almost entirely ringed with cliffs and devoid of secure anchorages; it has only a handful of possible landing places. these were guarded by a large garrison, totaling 2, 800 men, armed with 500 cannon. napoleon himself, meanwhile, was held at longwood, a refurbished mansion with extensive grounds in the most remote and dismal portion of the interior .
an american government laboratory’s analysis of the 2006 material — which, among other things, disclosed traces of two rare forms of uranium, u - 234 and u - 236 — provides “a strong case” that it indeed came from russia, said thomas b. cochran, director of the nuclear program at the natural resources defense council, a private group that monitors atomic arsenals .
we know it did, because the archives contain correspondence from johnson confirming that the boat was ready and demanding payment of £100, 000 for it. they also show that, early in 1820, a commission of senior officers, led by sir george cockburn, was sent to report on the submarine–not, apparently, to assess its new technology, but to estimate how much it cost. cockburn was a serious player in the naval hierarchy of the day, and remains notorious as the man who burned the white house to the ground when washington fell to british troops in 1814. his original report has vanished, but its contents can be guessed from the royal navy’s decision to shave johnson’s six - figure demand down to £4, 735 and a few pennies .
what this means is that, early in 1820, johnson possessed a very real submarine at precisely the time that, french sources suggest, bonapartist officers were offering thousands of pounds for just such a vessel. and this discovery can be tied, in turn, to two other remarkable reports. the first, which appeared in the naval chronicle, describes a trial of johnson’s boat on the river thames :
asking sarah the zafara for help finding the tiki tack man' s old mask resulted in her entering a strange trance, and directing neopians to the haunted woods. in the depths of the fetch! maze, the tiki mask was recovered. the tiki tack man was restored, and provided his secret word. jhuidah meanwhile couldn' t remember hers, suggesting that the word itself may have been removed from neopia .
it is fulton’s appearance in the tale that gives this account a semblance of verisimilitude. a competent inventor, best remembered for developing the first practical steamboat, fulton had spent years in france peddling designs for a submarine. he had persuaded napoleon to let him build one small experimental craft, the nautilus, in 1800, and it was tested with apparent success on the seine. a few years later, fulton designed a second, more advanced, vessel which–as his illustration shows–superficially resembled johnson’s submarines. it is also a matter of record that, when the french failed to show any interest in this second boat, fulton defected to britain with the plans. in july 1804, he signed a contract with the prime minister, william pitt, to develop his “system” of submarine warfare under terms and conditions that would have yielded him £100, 000 in the event of success .
there is no doubt that johnson’s design was primitive–the submarine was driven by sails on the surface, and relied on oars for motive power when submerged. nor is there anything to suggest that tom and his engineer solved the vast technical problems that prevented the development of effective subs before the 1890s–most obviously the difficulty of preventing a boat submerging in neutral buoyancy from simply plunging to the bottom and staying there. it was enough that the weapon actually existed .
my favourite parts: the caravans are pretty cool, i like all the little features like the running water and little cupboards. i also enjoy the bit of circus life we see, and nobby’s admiration for the five is touching. pongo is very funny, with his pick - pocketing and faux shame at being caught. his interactions with timmy are amusing too, particularly when shaking paws and he goes round the back to shake his tail too .
you were correct: with the four of them gone, the power of the ancients was weak enough to open the first seal: jhuidah can do nothing now, she is harmless: my minions are working on reaching the second as we speak: when all three are down, the secret of the volcano shall be yours, my lord: when going on safari, safety is of the utmost importance: make sure you pack at least three large pian leaves, nine pinannas and seven kraku berries in case of poisons. at 8 o' clock every day you must prepare the camp. . it is only two hours till nightfall and the island can get very dangerous.
