[QUOTE="Job, post: 2854255, member: 37196"] [b]SUMMARY: Taking Inventory 3[/b] [COLOR=LightBlue]Vitus chose to verify manifest 5 and was joined in his work by a pair of brothers, Nils and Gunnar Sorensen, both of whom were hired as Polar Guides and Mountaineers on the expedition. The brothers were similar in appearance, but very different in personality. They were tall with nearly colorless, pale Norwegian skin and fine, virtually white hair. Both had pale blue eyes resembling ice water, but Gunnar seemed happy and companionable while Nils exuded an air of cold determination and an extraordinary economy of words. [U]VITUS' AFT DECK RESULTS[/U] On the aft deck, the team easily located the spare rudder and assembly, spare propeller, and the oil drum raft. Nils and Gunnar quickly and efficiently tied down the loose raft. [U]VITUS' TWEENDECK #4 RESULTS[/U] 1) In #4 Tweendeck, the (40) "bags, quick setting cement" were missing. 2) In #4 Tweendeck, the (2) "case of 48 sticks ammonia-gelatin dynamite were missing. [U]VITUS' BOSUN'S STORES RESULTS[/U] The team found the entrance to the Bosun's Hold through a padlocked twelve-foot sliding hatch set in the bulkhead in Tweendeck #1. It was much like the other Tweendeck holds, dim, poorly-ventilated, and lit by cluster lights strung with extension cords. Two small hatches in the floor revealed ladders down to another, lower compartment. 3) All seemed OK until the team could not find the (1) "wooden box, 100 no.6 non-electric blasting caps" 4) The (6) "coil (50') of time blasting fuse" could not be found 5) The (12) "snow shovels" were not in the Bosun's Stores.[/COLOR] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job (the tortured one).
