Escape to New York by Richard Otter, version 1

Your name is Jack Thompson and you are, for want of a better word, a thief. On your latest adventure you have managed to acquire Johnson's 'The Willow Tree', which is worth more than you will be able to spend in a lifetime. With a buyer in New York you need to get there by Thursday 18th April, and as this is 1912 you have booked passage on a ship due to sail on Wednesday 10th April. All being well you should get to New York in plenty of time.

Unfortunately, someone must have squealed on you and before you can get to the ship the police arrive; luck being on your side you just managed to escape. You allow yourself a small smile at the good sense you had to send the 'goods' onto the ship by mail. Your parcel will now be sitting safely in the mail room of the ship.

Deciding not to go directly to Southampton, as it must be crawling with police, your plan is to try to get over to Ireland and catch the ship there. It will be a close run thing but you should be able to do it. Once again luck is on your side and you just managed to board the ship before it sailed from Queenstown (Ireland now called Cobh) at 2.00pm. The date is Thursday 11th April.

With an uneasy feeling that someone followed you onto the ship, you have been hiding in your cabin as much as possible. Now it is Sunday 14th April 10.30pm and you finally work up the courage to leave your cabin, at this time of night fewer people should be about.

Objectives? Get 'your' painting out of the mail room, avoid capture and leave the ship as soon as possible. So, the first thing to do is work out how to find your parcel and then how to get it.

Part 1 - Find the Mailroom
10.30pm 14th April
________________________________________


Cabin E86, E Deck
Your two-berth second class cabin is a large, bright, airy place of which you are the only occupant. The feeling of space is probably due to the light mahogany furniture and light green linoleum tiles covering the floor. The sofa-bed turned out to be extremely comfortable and you had one of the best nights sleep you can remember. Standing next to the bed is some sort of cabinet, but you have no idea what it is really called. With ducted warm air heating, the place is a lot better than your rented room in London; but then again what wouldn't be. The cabin door to the north leads to a corridor and a porthole is to the south.

For the past three days you have only left the cabin for your meals. "Three days lost!" you mutter to yourself. "I could have been having a look at all those first class cabins, with all that loot waiting to be liberated!" Still, you remember the prize you have sitting in the mailroom. All you have to do now is find it.

> open furniture
You open the mahogany furniture. A suitcase is sitting inside the mahogany cabinet.

> get suitcase
You take the suitcase from the mahogany furniture.

> open door
You open your cabin door.

> n
You move north.
Corridor, E Deck
The corridors on this ship are wide, bright and well lit, in fact just the type of place you hate. This particular corridor heads both east and west as far as you can see. Just to the south is your cabin door.

> e
You move east.
Corridor, E Deck
You are in a bright white panelled corridor which leads west. The second class main entrance is east and a cabin door is just to the south.

> e
You move east.
Second Class Entrance, E Deck
The elegant pillared foyer extends the full width of the ship and is furnished with fine leather chairs. This is where second class passengers board and leave the ship, through a large door to the south. The walls are panelled in two contrasting veneers of maple and mahogany (you spent a couple of years working as a carpenter). The decorative mouldings and all the handrails look like they are bronze. You can go west to a corridor, east to the forward staircase and to the southeast is a barber shop. You hear a door close.

> look under chair
You look under the chair and find a tie pin, which you pick up.

> open suitcase
You open the suitcase. Inside the suitcase is a receipt, some wires and a bank note.

> put tie pin in suitcase
You put the tie pin inside the suitcase.

> close suitcase
You close the suitcase.

> e
You move east.
Forward Staircase, E Deck
The forward staircase is always a good place to meet people, so you are desperately hoping no one is about tonight. The walls are oak panelled with silver-plated metal brackets holding oak handrails. You can go either up to 'D' deck or down the staircase to 'F' deck. To the east is a crew corridor known as 'Scotland Road' and heading west will take you to the second class entrance.

Just for a moment you thought you could hear voices coming from the east.

> e
You move east.
Scotland Road, E Deck
You are in a long service corridor for the crew which has the nick-name 'Scotland Road' (you heard one of the crew call it that). About the width of two people, the plain white decoration and functional accessories is in stark contrast to the passenger corridors. The corridor continues east or you can go west to the forward staircase. To the south is the door of the Purser's office.

> e
You move east.
Scotland Road, E Deck
You are in a long service corridor for the crew, which has the nick-name 'Scotland Road'. North of you is the laundry and the corridor heads both east and west. To the south is the door of the 'Master-at-Arms' office.

Standing for a moment, you glance at the door to the south. Master-at-Arms! You can give a man any fancy title you like but as far as you are concerned he is only one thing; a policeman. You have already decided that he should be avoided at all costs.

> n
You move north.
Laundry, E Deck
You remember someone mentioning that the ship carries over 200,000 individual items of laundry and this room seems to be just storage for the soiled linen. You are standing near a large laundry basket. The corridor known as 'Scotland Road' is to the south.

> open laundry basket
You open the basket. A uniform is inside the basket.

> get uniform
You take the uniform from the basket.

> s
You move south.
Scotland Road, E Deck

> e
You move east.
Crew Mess Hall, E Deck
Unlike the passenger parts of the ship, the second-class crew mess hall is functional rather than palatial. Not much larger than your cabin, it is basically a plain white painted room with metal tables and chairs. The corridor 'Scotland Road' is to the west. The ship's purser is talking to a steward. The jovial ship's barber is nodding half asleep in one corner. The dining room steward is listening attentively to the purser.

As you enter a steward and someone you think is the purser are leaving and you just catch the end of the conversation they are having.

The steward is saying, "Yes, he has been asking lots of questions. He wants to interview everyone who has been on E Deck."
Looking surprised the Purser replies, "Everyone? Has he any idea how many of the crew that could be?"
Nodding the steward states, "Well, he wants to hold interviews in his cabin starting tomorrow."
The purser replies, "Well I hope it is one at a time, he will not get that many people in F22."

You make a mental note to find out who is in F22. The barber is giving you a very firm look.

> talk to barber
The barber looks you up and down and then says, "Hello Sir, you do know that this place is only for the crew?"
You quickly mutter that you do.

> w
You move west.
Scotland Road, E Deck
You are in a long service corridor for the crew, which has the nick-name 'Scotland Road'. North of you is the laundry and the corridor heads both east and west. To the south is the door of the 'Master-at-Arms' office.

Forward Staircase, E Deck
The forward staircase is always a good place to meet people, so you are desperately hoping no one is about tonight. The walls are oak panelled with silver-plated metal brackets holding oak handrails. You can go either up to 'D' deck or down the staircase to 'F' deck. To the east is a crew corridor known as 'Scotland Road' and heading west will take you to the second class entrance.

As you enter the forward staircase all the hairs on the back of your neck instantly stand on end. You have just spotted someone exiting to the west and something about the way they move alarms you.

> d
You move down.
Forward Staircase, F Deck
This is the lower upper most part of the second-class forward staircase. The walls are oak panelled with silver-plated metal brackets holding oak handrails. Going up the staircase will take you to 'E' deck and south is yet another corridor.

> s
You move south.
Corridor, F Deck
You are in a bright white panelled corridor which heads east and west as far as you can see. The forward staircase is to the north and a cabin door is just to the south.

> w
You move west.
Corridor, F Deck
You are in a bright white panelled corridor which heads east as far as you can see. In the opposite direction is the aft staircase and a cabin door is south.

> w
You move west.
Aft Staircase, F Deck
Much smaller than its forward cousin, the second class aft staircase still manages to achieve an elegant feel. The walls are oak panelled with silver-plated metal brackets holding oak handrails. Going down the staircase will take you to 'G' deck and east is another of the many corridors on the ship.

> d
You move down.
Aft Staircase, G Deck
The walls are oak panelled with silver-plated metal brackets holding oak handrails. The staircase leads up to 'F' deck and heading south will take you onto 'G' deck. One of the crew (a man named Collins) is leaning against the wall. Collins whistles.

> s
You move south.
Corridor, G Deck
G Deck is starting to become the third class and crew parts of the ship so you are in a plain white painted corridor; piping and structural beams cover the ceiling. The Post Office is off to the east and north leads to the aft staircase. A metal gate leading to a third class area is closed to the west. Attached to one wall is a wooden box with a glass front.

> wear uniform
You wear the uniform.

> e
You move east.
Post Office, G Deck
The ship's Post Office houses a range of bags, bins and pigeonholes for sorting the mail. To your west is a corridor (Scotland Road) and some steps lead down. A postal clerk is busy sorting the mail.

> d
You go down the steps.
You have found the mail room.

Mail Storage Room, Orlop Deck
It is in here that the mail is stored ready to be sorted in the Post Office above. This ship carries over 3000 bags of mail; you remember someone at lunch boring you to death with that information. Just at the foot of the steps is a cupboard for securing important mail. You can see some steps leading up.

He disappears for a moment and then returns with a parcel which he hands to you.

> x clerk
Looking to be in his early forties, with greying hair and moustache and an unsmiling face he appears a very serious individual. On his uniform you notice a 'post horn' badge. He has dark rings around his eyes and looks tired. The postal clerk is carrying a coin.

> get coin
The postal clerk has his back to you so you carefully pick his pocket. It will probably be a good idea not to be seen carrying it about the ship. The postal clerk looks in one of the mail bags.

You can hear Crewman Collins talking to someone to the west. You pause a moment to listen. Someone is asking Collins if he has seen a man carrying a large parcel. You can't quite hear the rest of the conversation but it ends with the mystery man saying, "Here is £10, let me know straightaway if you spot anything." You can hear the mystery man heading up the stairs.

"Good job I have hidden the painting somewhere safe until later," you ponder to yourself.

Second Class Entrance, E Deck
The elegant pillared foyer extends the full width of the ship and is furnished with fine leather chairs. This is where second class passengers board and leave the ship, through a large door to the south. The walls are panelled in two contrasting veneers of maple and mahogany (you spent a couple of years working as a carpenter). The decorative mouldings and all the handrails look like they are bronze. You can go west to a corridor, east to the forward staircase and to the southeast is a barber shop. Mr Jones seems to be watching your very carefully. The concerned looking ship's barber is here.

A man called Jones is talking to the barber and keeping close to the wall you listen in on the conversation.
The barber carries on, "Well I've seen someone like that on this deck but I do not know which cabin they have."
Jones asks, "Well, let me know if you see them again and there is 10 quid in it for you."
A sparkle comes into the barbers eyes, "Oh! 10 quid."
Jones says, "I'm going down to F Deck if you need me."

F Deck! How will you get back to get 'your' picture and how will you stop the barber telling Jones about you!

> talk to barber
The barber looks you up and down and then says, "Do you know that you look very similar to the man the Jones fella is looking for?"
"I think you are wrong," you reply quickly.

The barber has obviously recognised you so you will need to act quickly.

You hand the £20 to the barber who smiles and says, "Do you know, I believe I was wrong. You actually look nothing like the man Jones is after." He pockets the money.

Quietly to yourself you mutter, "So, now I need to get back and retrieve my package without getting caught by this Jones character." The barber rubs his chin.

> se
You move southeast.
Barber Shop, E Deck
The barber shop has all the very latest automated shampooing and drying appliances. This is the place to purchase novelties such as postcards and commemorative plates. In the centre of the room is the barber chair which, like everything on this ship, seems brand new. In front of the chair is a marble washbasin and behind it, against one wall, is a couch. On one wall is a small notice and just inside the door is a coat stand. Through the northwest door is the second class entrance.

> x stand
It is a coat stand, one of those with three legs. An overcoat is hanging on the stand.

In one of the pockets of the long winter overcoat you find a piece of paper and some identification. You pocket both.

Infirmary, D Deck
Bright, white, and clinical looking so it must be the Infirmary. In the centre of the room is a typical hospital bed, probably hard and uncomfortable. A desk is pushed again one wall with a medicine cabinet next to it. To the west is the forward staircase. Dr Simpson is standing to one side of the room, swaying ever so slightly.

As you enter you get the tell tale aroma of gin.

> open desk
As you go to open the desk the doctor shouts, "No! Don't open the desk." You pull the desk open before he can stop you. A bottle is inside the desk.

> get bottle
You take the bottle from the desk.

You notice that the engines seem to have stopped.

> ask doctor about bottle
The doctor looks very worried, "Where, where did you get that from? No, it doesn't matter. Look, I need a drink to get me through the day. Please don't tell anyone or you will get me the sack."
With a small smile you ponder to yourself, "So, he is worried about getting the sack is he?" Out loud you quietly say, "I wonder what would happen if I handed this to the master-at-arms?"
The doctor replies quickly, "Please don't tell anyone you will get me the sack. Just let me have the bottle back."
Spotting an opportunity you ask, "What will be in it for me?"
Pausing for a moment, he shows you a small silver hip flask, "Will this do?"
You reply with a nod.

Dining Saloon, D Deck
The second class dining saloon is a large, spacious room with panelling in sycamore and extends the width of the vessel. All the furniture is mahogany with crimson upholstery and the tables are rectangular with swivel chairs fixed to the deck! You are either too far from the edge of the table or if you are fat, too close. There is a piano in one corner of the room which entertains diners and one of the dining tables is just to your right. The door to the east leads to the forward staircase. A dining room steward is here.

Library, C Deck
The beautifully furnished room is where the second class ladies meet after dinner and is about 12m long by around 16m wide. The mahogany furniture consists of a lounger, armchair and small writing table which are covered with tapestry and seem to contrast well with the green silk draperies around the windows. Not that you know anything about that. A glass bookcase flanks one side of the room which is also relieved with white fluted columns that probably support the deck above. A thick brown Wilton carpet gives a snug feel to the room. To the east you can see the door leading to the staircase.

Promenade, Starboard, B Deck
You are on the starboard side second class Promenade Deck, B Deck. Here passengers can take the air and look at the vast expanse of the sea and sky. Might be worth a look tomorrow, you never know what some rich passenger might drop. To the north is the entrance to the staircase and at the rear of the promenade you can see the Well Deck below. On one side of the promenade are the rectangular windows of the smoking room; on the other over the side of the ship is open sea. A man and woman are in an embrace; kissing.

Smoking Room, B Deck
After dinner the gentlemen of the second class retreat from the Dining Room to their Smoking Room. This room is decorated in some sort of flash style (you have no idea what) and has fancy carved oak panelling with daido rails. Linoleum tiles have been specially designed for the room and are unique to the ship (you read that somewhere). An armchair and gaming table are just to your left. An oil painting depicting some sort of landscape is hanging just inside the door. Tucked at the rear in one corner of the room is a bar for spirits. To the east you can see the door leading to the forward staircase.

You are in a bright white panelled corridor which heads east as far as you can see. In the opposite direction is the aft staircase and a cabin door is south. At the western end of the corridor you can see Mr Jones waiting. At the moment it does not look like he has seen you. You will need some sort of disguise if you are going to get passed him.

> w
You move west.
Aft Staircase, F Deck
Much smaller than its forward cousin, the second class aft staircase still manages to achieve an elegant feel. The walls are oak panelled with silver-plated metal brackets holding oak handrails. Going down the staircase will take you to 'G' deck and east is another of the many corridors on the ship. Mr Jones seems to be watching your very carefully.
Mr Jones stops you and asks, "Hello, can I see some identification please?" Sinking down into the overcoat and looking down at the floor, you show him the stolen papers. With a miserable look of disappointment Jones mutters something about, "Sorry to disturb you sir," and leaves, heading east.

Just as he disappears from sight a steward rushes pass and says, "Hello sir, you will need to get your lifebelt and go onto the boat deck."
"Lifebelt?" you ask.
"You will find it under the bed in your cabin, sir." Before you can ask anything else he leaves.

"What is going on?" you ask yourself.

Corridor, G Deck
G Deck is starting to become the third class and crew parts of the ship so you are in a plain white painted corridor; piping and structural beams cover the ceiling. The Post Office is off to the east and north leads to the aft staircase. A metal gate leading to a third class area is closed to the west. Attached to one wall is a wooden box with a glass front. The floor of the corridor has developed quite a slope. You can also see a uniform. A group of third class passengers are caught behind the gate.

Mail Storage Room, Orlop Deck
It is in here that the mail is stored ready to be sorted in the Post Office above. This ship carries over 3000 bags of mail; you remember someone at lunch boring you to death with that information.

The elegant pillared foyer extends the full width of the ship and is furnished with fine leather chairs. This is where second class passengers board and leave the ship, through a large door to the south. The walls are panelled in two contrasting veneers of maple and mahogany (you spent a couple of years working as a carpenter). The decorative mouldings and all the handrails look like they are bronze. You can go west to a corridor, east to the forward staircase and to the southeast is a barber shop. The place is full of people wearing lifebelts and everyone seems to be talking at once.

Coughing once you say to the Purser, "Excuse me, I think this belongs to you." You hold out the key you found. With an enormous look of relief on his face his replies, "Thank you! I thought I had lost this in all the excitement."
You look away for only a second and the purser has gone. "Blimey," you think to yourself, "Now he would make a good sneak thief!"

Entrance to Boat Deck
You are in the second-class boat deck entrance. The forward staircase is to the east and the northern door leads to the boat deck. The floor of the room has developed quite a slope. Donald Goodson is pacing backwards and forwards and has a worried look on his face.
Goodson sighs.

> talk to goodson
Donald Goodson looking very worried says, "Hello."
"You look worried, I'm sure the ship will not sink," you say.
"It is not that, I've lost a letter from Kathy," he replies.
Kathy is a married woman travelling with her husband on the ship who Donald has been seeing rather a lot.
"So?" you ask.
"Well if Kathy's husband finds the letter it could mean a lot of trouble."
You stay silent; but as you never liked this man anyway the thought, "So what?" crosses your mind, although it might be worth talking to him more. Who knows, could be some profit in it for you.

> talk to goodson
Donald Goodson looking very worried says, "Listen, if you find the letter let me have it back, it was in my wallet."
You are just thinking to yourself, that looking for a lost wallet is the last thing you are doing tonight when Donald says, "I'm offering a reward."
A reward! Now that gets you interested and you ask, "How much is the reward?"
Pausing for a moment he continues, "Well, I have no money on me only this." He opens his hand and shows you one of the largest rubies you have ever seen.
Now he has your full attention and you ask, "When do you remember having the letter last?"
He replies, "I was on one of the promenade decks, reading the letter."
You have a feeling that Goodson is a little more than an automobile salesman from London. It might be worth looking into this more once you reach New York.

Staircase Entrance, C Deck
This entrance or landing as you would call it, seems like most of the ship and is oak panelled, with the usual tiled flooring. A settee is sited just inside the entrance for the weary passenger to rest. An excellent place for meeting fellow passengers you are hoping everyone is safely in their cabins. Heading either north or south will take you to one of the Promenade Decks on the ship. To the east is the forward staircase and west is the door of the Library. The room has developed quite a slope. You can also see a purse.

Crowded Boat Deck
The Boat Deck is the topmost deck of the ship and must be 30m wide by 180m long. Most of this size is hidden at the moment in the pitch dark, except for the few small areas lit by lamps near the lifeboats. In front of you is one of the seven or so wooden lifeboats on this side of the ship, it is attached to a couple of arms called davits. The door to the south leads to the boat deck entrance and a small metal locker is just to your right. To the north the crew are busy loading one of the lifeboats. You can hear the band playing a lively ragtime tune. 5th Officer Lowe is supervising the loading one of the lifeboats. To one side is a large group of men, mostly first class passengers. Some ladies and children are waiting near to the lifeboat ready to board the small boat. 5th Officer Lowe looks over at you for a moment and says, "You should really be wearing your lifebelt sir." He looks away.

> open locker
You open the locker. A distress rocket is inside the locker.

> get rocket
You take the distress rocket from the locker.

> drop rocket
You drop the distress rocket.

> light rocket
You light the rocket with the match you are carrying. It goes off with an enormous explosion making everyone nearby shout with alarm. 5th Officer Lowe comes over to see what is going on, looks like he has been distracted.

> n
As quickly as you possible, you clamber into the lifeboat and hide as best you can.

Lowe looks at the men on the ropes and calls out, "Lower away!"

The crew start cranking the davits and the lifeboat begins its 22m descent. Looking around you can see that there are only about 28 people aboard a boat made for at least 65. Several lifeboats are in the water and they row slowly away at various distances from the dying ship. The music from the orchestra carries across the calm ocean. Glancing at the sinking liner, even your hard heart is moved by what you see. Unable to take in the sight, you turn away quickly and stare into the dark.

Someone in the lifeboat is whispering, "I overheard the crew saying that the Carpathia is coming to our aid, but will not be here until morning." You do not hear the reply.

All you have to do now is survive the night in an open lifeboat until rescue arrives. It looks like you might actually get to meet your contact in New York. You even managed to escape with some additional loot; that makes the whole thing even more worthwhile.

You managed to score 100 out of 100 and completed all of your objectives.

The End
