This just in from the Port of Joppa, some members of the search party from King Solomon's Temple have discovered some interesting clues concerning the disappearance of Hiram Abif.

Members of the party encountered a seafaring man. The man stated that he had a chance encounter with three strangers. From their attire they appeared to be workmen from the temple.

They were seeking a passage to Ethiopia, the very place the seafaring man was bound for. After a brief discussion it was determined that they were not in posession of King Solomon's pass, upon which they were denied passage.

When asked further about the three, the seafaring man said that the three seemed suspicous to him, and they flead into the countryside after being denied a passage with him.
