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. |
