“Come, come. Don’t be so defeatist!” Kelly was practically jubilant.
*****
After falling victim to tempestuous seas during a cyclone the S.S Yongala sank to the depths of the ocean floor on 23rd March 1911. As traces of the wreck washed ashore in neighbouring Townsville, Queensland, a few days later, a search and rescue effort began but unfortunately neither the ship nor its crew were found.
Considered one of the most tragic incidents in Australian Maritime history the S.S Yongala lay undiscovered for almost 50 years before two skin divers happened upon the wreck, and in a bid to identify the vessel recovered a steal safe from one of the ships cabins.
3 years later notification from London confirmed that the safe had been supplied to the S.S Yongala during her construction in 1903.
As work began to uncover the secrets of the now submerged steel ship it became apparent that all 122 souls aboard that fateful night had lost their lives while attempting to bail water from the ship’s compromised hull.
“Your story is fascinating, Bette.” Kelly sounded bored, “But you did not say whether any gold was ever on board the ship.
“I don’t know.” Bette simply said.
They had travelled for a while from Brisbane Airport to a smaller airfield where a private jet had taken them to the city of Townsville on Queensland’s north-eastern coast.
From there, a further car trip had taken them to a harbour where Kelly’s luxury Yacht was moored.
Both Bette and Tina had audibly gasped at the size of the ship and Tina had had once more, a hard time keeping the brunette from grumbling about the need for Kelly to get even richer.
Kelly stood from her seat, in one of the many ostentatious sitting rooms aboard the “Freemont” and headed to the bar to pour herself a drink.
“Aren’t you excited at the prospect of discovering this treasure. I know you said as much to me on the phone before your left Greece, but I cannot believe for one minute that you aren’t just, even if only a little bit, curious to find it. You have invested way too much effort into that endeavour.”
Bette clenched her teeth at the statement. “I have invested time and effort because you made me do it, Kelly.” Bette reminded her.

So glad you finished this story! Thank you for sticking it out and giving us this story. Loved it
Hi Kins,
So glad to see this story! It will take some time to read it and i will leave a comment after i finish.
Hi, welcom back, Kins!
Thank you for finished this story! Ok, now i’m going to read it.
Hi, Kins
Oh my God, Kins, welcome back, after almost 2 years, it’s been a long time, but reading the whole story now I feel, the wait was worth.
You have given us a quite wonderful and interesting story full of adventures and riddles and full of love of my favorite couple Bette and Tina.
You ended the story in a very good way, but I feel as if I want to know more about them, if Bette gets the funding for her project in Mexico, the wedding, their partnership, what Tina does for a job… and many more things.
I hope we could read more new beautiful stories from you; I like very much your style.
Thank you very much and please, post other TIBETTE stories

Ok, i read again this story, this time the whole and i’m ready to leave another comment.
First – thank you again for finish the story.
Second – happy to see happy final -treasure was found, bitch Kelly got lost. And i must say i like how you got rid from her – like in life we can say with 100% probability what happened – or she sank or she was killed by shark.
Third – i like how you described Bette and Tina and love between them. I like it in all your stories (maybe with one exception – in Frozen beginnings i don’t like your Bette during the story, but in final she corrected :) )
So, welcome back and maybe in the future we can see another great story from you? I really hope so.
Hi Kins,
Really enjoyed the read, thank you so much.
A great Story and I loved reading it in one post. As an English Lady I really enjoyed your explanation of Cricket!
I would love it if you would now consider a Sequel with these two characters.
Thanks again for posting.

Welcom back, Kins!
I was a silent reader a long time, but after you finished this story i must register to say – “Thank you for fantastic story! And i hope this story won’t be your last on this site!”
Totaly agree with MissOne – i hope this story won’t be the last from you too!
Hi Kins,
You took us trough a incredible journey! Full of adventures, little clues i tried to catch to find the treasure, the background on the history of those ships and of course the love between Bette & Tina.
I really hope you will continu with a sequel or a new story.
Thank you so much for posting the whole story after two long years!
In-cre-di-ble! Kins, thank you so much for returning to this story and for giving us such a glorious and sweet ending. You’re such a talented writer. What a wonderful plot with astonishing details to the treasure hunt.
I second the previous comments and hope you’ll find the inspiration (and time) to work on a sequel. Maybe Bette’s project in Mexico with a twist with some unexpected traces of a legendary Aztec treasure ;)
Well ive read it at last.So pleased you managed to finish this story.I know how long it was in conception and all the research you did for its authenticity.
