The Bell Rock Mystery - Chapter 16

The Yacht was so close to the rock I thought I could almost reach out and touch it. I could make out the people’s faces; they were clearly visible in the portholes. Framed in one of them I would take my oath that it was the face of the Empress herself. Did I imagine it? As best as I could manage I stood to attention I saluted her, then she was gone on her way to the mainland.
It was a clear night now, in the sky a million stars shone down and the moon watched over the seas. In a few hours it would be Christmas Day, this would be one I'd remember for the rest of my life.
Kate and Karen looked at each other in amazement. “I’m beginning to understand why the authorities wanted this to be lost forever.”
“What are you going to do with it?” asked Karen while pouring another glass of red wine.
“I don’t know.” Replied Kate thinking. “I really don’t know.”

Herbert Kitchener received the George Cross for his services to the crown in the honours list of 1890.
In the year 1892 he took the position of Her Majesties head of security. A role he occupied until Queen Victoria’s death.
No one was ever charged with the plot to assassinate the Queen and Jack the Ripper was never caught.
The grey haired man, who was central to the conspiracy plot, left his job within the British Government to become Her Majesties Ambassador to the United States, where he and his fellow members of the Illuminati began to build a new power base for their organisation.
