Betreff: Re: Al Jawf Letter Umschlag
Ich würde den Brief nach Las Mesas senden. Woher sollte jemand in Baghdad wissen, wo die Jones gerade bei ihrer Weltreise unterwegs sind?
Zitat von MichaelSop:Hat jemand eine Idee, was im Jahre 1909 passiert ist mit Indy und Henry. Also falls einer die Young Indy Reihe geschaut hatte; laut lost Journal war der Indy im September in British East Africa.
Vielleicht war der Henry Sr. ja mit dabei, und nicht nur die Nanny.
September, 1909:
The Joneses arrive at a coffee plantation in British East Africa near Nairobi at the invitation of one of Professor Jones' old classmates, Richard Meldicot. From there they are invited to go on safari with ex-president Theodore Roosevelt, who is there to collect specimens for the Smithsonian, and Frederick Selous, the best game hunter in Africa. On the trip to the site, young Henry is captivated by the beautiful countryside and its majestic animals. Upon arriving at camp, he hurriedly unpacks, anxious to meet his famous host. He is understandably disappointed when he finds out that Roosevelt wont be back until nightfall. In the meantime, Meldicot shows Indy around the camp, introducing him to Heller, a taxidermist, and other members of the expedition. Left on his own, Indy wanders outside of camp. While exploring, he glimpses a young African boy roughly his own age tending sheep. Before he has a chance to approach the boy, he is called back to camp. Indy arrives just in time to witness the arrival of his host, Teddy Roosevelt, and is suitably impressed. That evening, Roosevelt and company are wondering about the disappearance of Burton's Fring-Eared Oryx. Normally the animals should be plentiful in the area, but not one has been spotted. Roosevelt is perplexed as he wishes to bring a few specimens home for museums. The next day, Roosevelt teaches Indy to shoot a rifle. He also gives him a pair of binoculars to explore the surrounding countryside. He then leaves to go hunting. Later in the day, as Miss Seymour is teaching Indy about African wildlife, he vows to find the oryx for Roosevelt. As he's exploring around the camp, he encounters the young tribal boy again. This time, Indy uses basic sign language to introduce himself as "Indy." The boy introduces himself as Meto. Indy spends the rest of the afternoon with Meto, exploring and learning Meto's language. Later that day, Indy and Roosevelt have a discussion. Indy is disturbed by the number of animals that the hunting party has already killed. Roosevelt tells Indy that the animals are going to museums so that people can appreciate nature more. After dinner and over a game of checkers, Indy tells Roosevelt that he will help him find the oryx. Their discussion is interrupted by a shot. One of the party has shot and killed a lion that was roaming just outside of camp. While the adults congratulate each other, Indy becomes more disturbed. The Next day, Indy is up early and goes to Meto for help in finding the oryx. Back at camp, he is missed and a search commences. Meto takes Indy to a village elder who, through pictures drawn in the sand, describes the fate of the oryx. Indy heads back to camp. As night falls, he makes his way across the veldt, becoming increasingly scared of the animal noises emanating from the dark. He is finally found by one of the bearers. Taken back to camp, Indy is punished and not given a chance to explain. The next morning, Meto comes to camp and he and Indy leave before anyone else is awake. Meto takes Indy to a place where there are oryxes. Indy then sneaks back to camp before breakfast. Over breakfast, Indy announces that he and Meto have found a small heard of oryx. Indy relates the story he heard from the village elder to Roosevelt. The oryx's main food source is a root melon. Recently, a great fire had killed off most of the area's snake population. The snakes had controlled the population of mole rats. With no natural predators, the mole rats flourished and burrowed underground for food, eating the root melons. This forced the oryx herd to look for food elsewhere. Indy leads Roosevelt and a hunting party to where the oryx herd is grazing. The party brings down two when Indy intercedes, stating that there's been enough killing. Roosevelt agrees, stating that the oryx are rare and that they don't know what animals may depend on the oryx. Their job completed, the hunting party packs up and heads back to civilization. Indy leaves Meto a good-bye gift of his binoculars.
