1. Dr. Harold W. Hermann (Leader of the expedition) 2. Eddie Adams (Local guide) 3. Herman Magill (Prospector) 4. David R. Robertson (Engineer) 5. Alfred Scadding (Geologist) Event 1: Gathering and Preparation (April 10, 1932) The team, called the "Nova Scotia Prospectors," consisting of five members, gathered at Hermann's campsite in Moose River, Nova Scotia. They wore rugged outdoor clothing, complete with helmets, lanterns, and ropes. Hermann, a tall, bespectacled man with a bushy beard, stood out as the leader. Adams, a local guide, was lean and athletic, with a weathered face and a mop of curly brown hair. Magill, the prospector, was burly and gruff, with a thick beard and a menacing scar above his left eyebrow. Robertson, the engineer, was slender and bespectacled, with a tidy mustache and a calculating gaze. Scadding, the geologist, was tall and lanky, with a mop of unruly black hair and a perpetual air of distraction. Hermann briefed the team on their plan to explore the abandoned Altoona Mine, located approximately 10 miles from their campsite. The mine, once a thriving copper and gold operation, had been closed since 1886 due to safety concerns and declining profits.
