The Outward list of stores was compiled on board by the secretarial staff of Francis Chichester Ltd. The object was to enable me to find stores, replacements, etc, st
owed away in the many lockers on the boat without having to turn out every locker hunting for these things. Important equipment in use is not listed, such as navigation instruments, fog-horn, loud hailer, Very pistol, torches, depth sounding lead, weights for the collision mat, frogman suit, etc. As these were always to hand, it was not necessary to list them.
For the Homeward stores (on following pages) Sheila was able to supervise the lists and stowage, assisted by Pat McCarthy and Norma Humphries.
