I first found this some time ago and was not going to publish it for a little while, but for reasons that may become obvious later, I have decided to post it today.

Followers of this blog will know that the first instance of the DANETTA code was uncovered in the first paragraph of Tibor Kaldor's last letter, he's the man that was found dead in a Hindley Street, Adelaide Hotel, cause of death was poisoning, two weeks after the finding of the man on Somerton Beach. 

In that case, the code was found using an online acrostic decoder. It worked through the logic of the decoder which effectively used sequentially ordered letters to form the word DANETTA. The letters and their relative number sequences are located by their position in a line or in a word, see below.

Since then, the same DANETTA codeword has been found in the Boxall Rubiyat Verse 70 inscription and in the 'SOMERTON MAN CODE PAGE' when arranged into the 7 line format with each line beginning with the letter M.

In this instance as shown in the image at the head of the post, you can see the logically arranged and numerically sequenced letters as numbered:

1. D, line 3, first letter in the line reading left to right

2. A, line 5, second letter in SANS reading left to right

3. N, line 5, third letter in SANS reading left to right

4. E, line 5, fourth letter in WINE reading left to right

5. T, line 4, fifth letter in the line reading right to left

6. T, line 4, sixth letter in the line reading right to left

7. A, line 2, seventh letter in the line reading right to left

What is really interesting about this is that the Verse 23 in the Methuen 7th edition of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, which in turn was found on the chest of the decomposing body of GEORGE HAYYAM MARSHALL. The verse had been marked with a pencil.

His body was found in Ashton Park overlooking Taylor's Bay, Mosman on 3rd June 1945. This was just a short distance from the nurse Jestyn's home at that time. George had died of poisoning, his estimated date of death was May 21st 1945.

We now have linked, one way or another, through the Rubaiyat:

1. The death by poisoning of George Marshall (Verse 23)

2. The death by poisoning of the Somerton Man (Somerton Man Code format & Verse 70)

3. The death by poisoning of Tibor Kaldor ( Acrostic decoder, later linked)

There will be more on this matter in an upcoming chapter of THE SOMERTON MAN BOOK on this blog.
