Richard Lair works with the TECC. He: knows a lot about
elephants. He says same of the animals' paintings are very
good. But, in fact, elephants hear better than they set, And so

photographer is not always as exciting as you might
think.He spends most ofhis rime taking photos of
t h i n g s like dinosaur bones, or people. He doesll't

Mark runs after d e e s .

Mark Thiessen:
"I knew I wanted to be a photographer since I was
a little Iud."

As a child, Mark would listen t o police radio

but also dangerous, somethies t e r r w g .
A powerful wind is blowing, and pushes ag&m the
truck. 'Pb the left, a huge wall of f i e is advancing
in Mark%direction. It's best to keep moving. The
fire can act in strange ways. Qn lcs left, Mak can
see a "5re whirl." That's when some of the flames
start twisting together, creating a fire tornado that
can reach a height of ten meters,
Mark is in f i t iskilled and capQable

mat happened? Did the terrible and feuless
Blackbeard sink it: himself? Nobody k sure, but
archeologists are h d i n g clues to the mystery,
Archeologist Kim Esling~rIobks at a map where
thev think the ship is. For five years, archeologists
ha; bcen studying the remains ofa shipwreck
f o d about a kilometer fitom the coast, They know
that: m a s ofd-ie shrp's moden body is gnne. But its
large gulls-its cannons--are still there.
It's diffi~ultfor the archeologists to see far in che
dark water. They put ropes around snc ofthe
cannons,so h

y can pull it up to the ~urfice.Their
hope is &at on the cannon they will find a nameCowca~Rd-the original llame of the French h p that
