6. On the fourth of December eighteen seventy-two, a ship called the Mary Celeste was found
floating in the Atlantic. There was no one on board. The ship wasn’t damaged, and everything
was in order, although the lifeboat was missing. None of the crew or passengers were ever seen
again.
On the fourth of March nineteen eighteen, a huge ship called the USS Cyclops left Barbados
with three hundred people on board, and sailed into what we now call the Bermuda Triangle.
Then it disappeared without a trace. No distress call was made, and no bad weather was
reported in the region. A huge search for the Cyclops was launched ・boats and planes scoured
the area for wreckage or survivors ・but nothing of the enormous ship was ever seen again.
On July second, nineteen thirty-seven, Amelia Earhart, the famous American aviator, took off
with her navigator from New Guinea, in a small plane, on the last stage of their around-the-
world flight. It was the last time they were seen alive. Four million dollars was spent on the
search, but no trace of Amelia or the navigator was ever found.
