Alone and working his way methodically through the bosun's store area, Douglas carefully pulls out and examines hundreds of items: lights, electrical cords, ropes, canvas, tools, and lumber. He spots nothing unusual, but did gather a few slivers and scrapes. When satisfied that he had thoroughly searched the room, an hour-an-a-half later, he turned to the two small hatches in the floor.Ewoklord wrote:Douglas would like to thoroughly examine the area. http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3817145/
Douglas lifts the solidly-built wooden hatch and descends the ladder, electric lantern in hand, into the cramped compartment. The bosun's lower storage area appears to be a graveyard for broken equipment. It's filled with frayed lengths of rope; coils of cut electrical cords; broken--but large--pieces of wood; small sections of pipe; unidentifiable pieces of machinery, perhaps useful as spare parts to someone. There also appears to be quite a bit of rarely used stores. Douglas picks through the items, but doesn't seen any signs of ill intent.
He climbs out and similarly investigates the bosun's lower storage area on the opposite side, but again finds nothing.
Douglas emerges from the bosun's store after his hours of searching, covered in dirt, dust, grease, and grime. He has taken on the appearance of a true stevedore. He also smells like a stevedore. He finds himself alone in tweendeck Hold number one, apparently all other searchers have moved on to another compartment.
