T~E MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION, PRESIDEN1.
"S OFFICE, ARMY BUILDING, .
33 WEST IJOUS1.'ON STREET,
New York, March 6, 1880.
SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith a
preliminary or partial report of the Mississippi
River Commission.
It is expected that the two members of the
CommiMsion-Genera.l Comstock and Mr. Harrison-
who have withheld their signatur~s from the report
will submit separate statements, embodying individual
dissenting opinions, upon the several
sub.iects discussed therein. Whe.n. these are
received they will be forwarded without delay,
in order that they may take their appropriate
place as appendixes to the report.
==================================================================
There was a high-level conference a couple of weeks ago
in Brussels. Hastily organized we think.
Chaired by Attorney General Comstock.
Representatives of all the G7 countries and a
few others. We know people from the NSA were there.
People from Internal Revenue. Treasury people--
Secret Service. Their counterparts in the other
countries. And a lot of mathematicians known to have
been co-opted by the government. The U.S. vice president
was there. Basically we think that they are planning
to form some kind of international body to clamp
down on crypto and particularly on digital money."
Tom's been drifting back and forth between his house and the Crypt,
running various kinds of torture tests on the internal Crypt
network systems. Probing the inner trust boundaries.
That's where we're going now."
"To the inner trust boundaries?"
"No! Sorry. His house." Cantrell shakes his head.
"It's . . . well. It's not the house I would build."
"I want to see it."
"His paranoia is getting just a little out of hand."
"Hey speaking of that.. ." Randy stops.
He was about to tell Cantrell about Pontifex,
but they are very close to the halal Dunkin' Donuts,
and people are looking at them. There's no way of telling
who might be listening. "I'll tell you later."
Cantrell looks momentarily baffled and then grins wickedly.
"Good one."
"Why didn't you ask him on the ski lift?" Randy jokes.
"Item the second: A former NSA hondo is surveilling us-
and something about a Wizard?" John says.
"Yeah."
Doug's giving Randy a queer look and so Randy launches
into a brief summary of his classification system of Wizards,
Elves, Dwarves, and Men-not to mention Gollums, which makes
practically no sense to Doug, who hasn't read Lord of
the Rings.
"Well, what do you imagine could have happened in Manila
around that time that would be so damned important to E
arl Comstock?"
"I told you, Comstock thought it was a Communist code."
He scrambles carefully over the heap, breathing through a
wad of cotton, until he can see what used to be the main
drift. The dynamite has done the right thing: shattered the
roof of the drift into billions of shards.
Collapsed on the floor, they occupy a larger volume than
the same mass of stone did when it was all in one piece.
The drift is filled with tons of loose stone, all the way
down to the entrance along the Tojo River, where Captain
Noda's men are at work even now, concealing the tiny puncture
wound behind river rocks
Golgotha seethes, hisses, and moans as every pipe in its
ramified system is pressurized by the deluge unleashed by
Captain Noda's dynamite charge. The bubbles of air trapped
at the ends of those pipes are seeking escape: some are l
eaking out through cracks in the walls and others are
bubbling away into the diagonal. The surface of Lake Yamamoto
must be boiling like a cauldron, and Captain Noda must be
standing above it, watching the air flee Golgotha, grinning
with satisfaction. In moments, the floors of the tunnels are
obscured by whirling lagoons of dirty water, and the barrels
and railcars that were left there have begun to rise, bobbing
like corks and clanging together.
Eventually the water rises up into the Bubble itself,
but it rises slowly, because the pressure of the air in
here has become quite high already. As the water climbs,
it further pressurizes the bubble of air in which
Goto Dengo and the others are trapped. The pressure of the
air rises steadily until it becomes equal to the pressure
of the water. Then balance is achieved, and the
water cannot rise any more. Another kind of balance
is being reached within their bodies, as the compressed
air floods into their chests, and the nitrogen in that
air seeps through the membranes of their lungs and
dissolves into their bloodstreams
Two days later they set off one last, relatively small
dynamite charge, blowing a hole through the wall of
the Bubble that is large enough to admit a human being.
On the other side, the diagonal to Lake Yamamoto begins
Goto Dengo is not a diver, and knows very little of
diving medicine. But his father used to speak of
how caissons were used to send workers deep underwater,
to build things or to mine.
To the Cryptonomicon!

Right!" Randy says, a little too forcefully-he's feeling
desperate for a change in subject. The whole
Kepler/Epiphyte/Semper Marine thing is stressful
enough all by itself, and the last thing he needs
is to be hanging around with people who believe
it is nothing more than a skirmish in a war to
decide the fate of the Free World-a preliminary
round of the Apocalypse. Avi's obsession with the
Holocaust seemed fine to Randy as long as Holocausts
were things that happened long ago or far away-being
personally involved in one is something Randy
can do without. He should have stayed in Seattle.
But he didn't, and so the next best thing for him
is to limit the conversation to straightforward
things like bars of gold.
"Because then he can pressure you into testifying against
Epiphyte. You get to keep all the gold. That gold becomes
damages which the Dentist leverages into control
of Epiphyte."
Now. What do you think is the real reason Comstock
wanted to crack Arethusa?"
"I have no idea," Randy says.
"The reason is gold," Doug says.
Randy snorts. "You have got gold on the brain."
"Did I or did I not take you out into the jungle
and show you something?" Doug demands.

In 2001 the Town of Russia is about forty miles long,
north to south, and about sixteen miles wide. The whole
aspect of the Town of Russia was quite different when
it was first settled from what the Town is today, due to changes
in the Town's boundaries during the 1800's. Traveling in
Herkimer County 200 years ago was a hazardous adventure.
Permanent settlement of the upper Mohawk Valley rapidly
followed the close of the Revolutionary War.
But in the early 1800's the Town of Russia was an
impenetrable forest of spruce, fir, larch, and pine
The best known of the first roads was State/Military Road
that was built across the hills, originally called the
State Road when it was surveyed in 1806 and then opened
to travel in 1808. After leaving Albany to Johnstown,
it followed a course through the Town of Oppenheim
Bromley Road is a seasonal dirt road that goes from the
Rose Valley Dump to Military Road. Some dead end roads
are Fire Road that intersects with Hinckley Road,
Shawangunk Road that was a thoroughfare to the Town of Ohio,
and MacArthur Road near Trail's End Campsites, Jim Rose Road
and Lite Road both off Wheelertown Road, and Gorham Road
off of Rose Valley Road.
In 1926 and 1929 Town of Russia taxpayers petitioned the Town
that the road beginning at Roben's Corners and leading past
Dorn's Corners to the Ohio Town line was important enough
to be improved because it was a critical connecting link
for the county system of roads in the Town and as a
United States mail route.
Shortly after, Route 28 was constructed wider from Poland
to Barneveld as a water bound macadam road. This construction
eliminated many curves, making travel both quicker and
safer but then in 1949 it was slightly relocated to alleviate
dangerous conditions and for the improvement of alignment.
In 1978, it was again relocated; this time by 2,300 feet
because of the replacement of the Comstock Bridge.

Such devilish behavior seems not atypical of
ISHs, who work more by influence and subtleties of intuition.
W.F. Prince (1916) also described Sleeping Margaret's
practice of "jolting . . .producing in the consciousness
of M. the hallucination of receiving a heavy blow upon the
forehead" (p. 115). This deterrent was seldom used and
later discontinued.
More often, the ISH is felt as a form of influence. '
Comstock (1991) wrote:
Initial communication between patient and ISH need
not include a dramatic presentation of the ISH.
It may be dramatic, but more likely, the patient will first
experience the presence of the ISH as a hunch,
a physical feeling, an ordinary voice, a sudden thought,
a phrase of a song, a poem, or prayer, a picture, a
memory of a scene, or a pervasive feeling of peace
or comfort. (p. 172)

A device for testing the calibration of a system for inspecting
leads of an electronic package comprising a package body
and a group of leads, wherein for the purpose of proper alignment
and connection to corresponding connection means, a limit of at
least one predetermined position control parameter of said leads
is defined relative to the group of leads or package body, wherein
when the actual positions of some of the leads are such that said
limit is exceeded, said leads are not in proper alignment for
connection to the connection means, said system inspecting said
leads to provide readings to indicate whether the actual positions
of the leads are such that said limit of at least one predetermined
position control parameter is exceeded, said device comprising:
a test unit, said unit having a body resembling the package body,
wherein said body is of substantially the same dimensions as the
package body, said unit further having members extending from said
body, said members being so located and having certain dimensions
which differ from designed dimensions of the group of leads but
which bear predetermined spatial and dimensional relationships
to said designed dimensions of said leads, so that when the system
is used to inspect said unit to provide readings, said readings
will indicate whether the system is properly calibrated, wherein
said members are sufficiently robust so as to prevent said certain
dimensions from changing during rough handling of the test unit.
