Perhaps dreams of the sea…
“Well, we here “tempus fugit” and the time flows, as the ancient Torunians used to say. Do you know what is this gigantic building standing here? No? “ - she was surprised wandering with him along the town walls. ” Haven’t you ever been curious?” She didn’t wait for his answer.” I” she continued, “constantly go sightseeing in the town, I moved here not long ago, and I still find new things. For example this…” Walking, she pointed her chin at something in front of her. What do you think it is or used to be, because now … as you can see.”
He looked around carefully searching for support. From the corner of his eye he noticed a plate built in the wall of the house. ”Well it was a Navy school” he read from the wall “in the years 1925-1938” he said indifferently. “You bet!” she giggled. Everyone can see that much, but do you know anything more? Look. Nanny wrote, that it is …
Look, here are photos of the lad in the uniform, it isn’t a school uniform although they had to wear it then, it’s sort of a navy dress uniform. And in the second photo he has got an inscription on the rim of his cap. And there are some kind of dedications on the other side …
“Wait, I’m going to find a note about this photo. Perhaps he attended the Navy School, well, not this one because it says Gdynia here, Oh it’s probably her friend, but not a school mate, because then there were junior secondary schools for the girls and for the boys separately.

I understand, he was her peer, maybe her neighbour. He lived in Toruń and saw enough of those battleships, which were here as Toruń was a war harbour of the river fleet then. And he wanted to go board or build ships … Cool. Interesting, what happened with him. Here is a picture of a sailing ship, look what’s written there:
“You see, I’ve told you, if he was on this ship, it means that he had landed at the navy school, but was it in Toruń then? The wind from the sea came … And we have a problem here. Look, this probably is a hint for the next key. Leon could have been good at maths, otherwise ho would have been a poor mariner or a ship builder. Probably he helped nanny with solving these equations” She talked looking at the blue letters. “Oh, well,” he said lingering a bit, he was reluctant to solve any tasks, that wasn’t all he wanted. “O.k., but tell me what has it all in common with the Copernicus monument and searching? “ . “ O my!” she laughed “Don’t be silly, maybe that that Copernicus was an astronomer thus an excellent mathematician. And we are looking for the keys, don’t we? Go on, concentrate …”
