As usual, the cameraman was Graham Berry, but the video
engineer was Serge Beaupere (instead of Frank Meyburgh) and the local helicopter
was flown by Ignacio Macein (instead of Keith Thompson). |

Annie flies to the viewpoint at Torre Picada, on top of
which is a stone tower used in the past to send smoke and fire signals.
Ignacio lands briefly to deposit her, and then takes off again so that Graham
can film her from the air. She climbs to the top of the tower and finds
a cannon wrapped in a tarpaulin, which she removes. The clue is on the cannon. |

Patrick and Michael quickly send Annie to Soller, and
ask her to look for the orange Soller-Puerto tram (orange and has linear
movement). The helicopter lands on the shore, Annie jumps on to the moving
tram (jump to it) and finds the conductor, who has the clue (just the ticket). |

Robert Graves, author of ‘I Claudius’, lived at Deia,
and nearby, at San Marriog, lived Austrian Archduke Luis Salvador. There
Annie spots a line of men throwing slingshots at a clay pot hanging from
a tree. She lands, tries a shot, misses, then runs to the pot and breaks
it. The clue is inside. |

Kenneth solves this clue. Composer Frederic Chopin and
George Sand spent the winter of 1838-9 together in the Carthusian monastery
in Valldemosa. Annie finds the clue on a bust of Chopin on top of an upright
piano. |

Patrick, Michael and Kenneth direct Annie to Majorca’s
capital, Palma (the giant palm), north west of which is La Granja, a former
monastery (the old monks’ granary) and now a tourist attraction where traditional
arts and crafts are on display. Annie lands and finds a woman making cheese
who directs her to a group of dancers, one of whom is wearing the treasure
– a silver brooch in the shape of a pair of castanets. |
