Recently, Vanadia had been appointed adjunct lecturer at Temple University which was part of his most recent project. When he was diagnosed last March, he decided to forge ahead with a goal he had harbored for some time: to go to the Arctic and locate the two ships of Sir John Franklin, the British explorer. There also was a commitment to film a documentary on his research and search. He was unable to complete the project.

"He was extremely out-going and had a wonderful, bawdy sense of humor," said Helen Vanadia. "He captivated people. He was extremely articulate and an extremely good writer. He had opinions on all kinds of subjects."

His biggest frustration was in not being able to do everything. He liked to do certain things then go on to the next project."

"She'd start fights with her," said Darryl Hardy, 31. Hanible's cousin, who said he thinks Guy was jealous of Hanible. One time Guy threw some bolts on the floor to make Hanible fall and when Hanible kicked them out of the way, Guy smacked her, said Beatrice Lowe, 18, another cousin. Hanible repeatedly complained to her supervisors about Guy and they moved Guy to the night shift about a month ago. Hanible's family blames the company for Hanible's death.

"They knew about this woman," said Newsuan, Hanible's mother. "This should never have happened. Now it's too late to do something. It can't bring Pam back." Continued from Page 3 asked her. "People are listening to me.

They're in my walls. They're in my windows. "Who's doing it?" Pilecki asked. "Something from outer space is doing it. It isn't human," Guy replied.

Yesterday, Hanible's family gathered at a relative's house in West Philadelphia to mourn their loss. Her death upset her 79-year-old grandmother so much that she was rushed to the hospital yesterday evening. Hanible got off welfare and began working at Van Leer nearly seven years ago, said her mother, Catherine Newsuan 48. She moved into her house in East Mount Airy a couple of months ago, she said.

After that, no news was good news and after the final sighting 50 miles south of Philadelphia last Dec. 10 watchers concluded that Shackleton had made his way back to the sea. "A carcass by now would have showed up.

People would have seen it" if Shackleton had died near Philadelphia, said Charles "Stormy" Mayo, senior scientist at the Center for Coastal Studies on Cape Cod and another member of the Philly rescue team. Mayo kept an eye out for Shackleton from March through June, when right whales an endangered species gather in the waters near Cape Cod. Now Hamilton and his group are continuing the watch from a base in Lubec, Maine, near the whales' annual summer retreat in the Bay of Fundy. But no one has seen Shackleton, named for an Irish explorer who led an expedition near the South Pole in 1908. "There's not necessarily a cause for concern," said Hamilton, who'd been looking at Shackle-ton's family history.

"He had a brother in 1990 who was not seen for four years, so we may have a very long wait to find out whether he's OK." The brother, named 2040, turned up last year in the Bay of Fundy and was spotted there again this month. (Scientists identify the whales by their unique "callosities" big, bumpy patches of roughened skin.) "There's some ones that disappear for a long period of time and there are others we see every year," said Hamilton. "Males are a little more likely to be missing for a while."

Miss you, Bobby, Marilyn and Howard "We've seen over 100 right whales in the bay so far," reported Hamilton, who said that was higher than usual but reflected no actual increase in the number of right whales, estimated at 300 in the entire North Atlantic. Among the whales spotted were Shackelton's two sisters, Slalom, born in 1982, and 1704, born im 1987. Even their mother. Wart, was sighted in March by Mayo's group off Cape Cod. Shackleton himself also known as 2440 is an enduring mystery.

Hamilton says there's still a good chance whale-counters will spot him before the end of this year's watch in October. But right now, he's making no assumption whether the whale that drew so much attention in Philly is dead or alive. "There are definitely animals that die at sea that we don't know about. So it's a big question mark," said Hamilton, "It really, qould very easily go either way." buddies to some undersea mall. In human terms, he's not yet 10 years old.

Right whales "are for the most part solitary in their travel They don't show long-term associations," Hamilton said. "But he might be in an area where they are socializing." Feeding, socializing and mating are the big jobs of the whales in the Bay of Fundy. Shackleton's much too young to mate, Hamilton said. And it's really not clear when a male whale is old enough to do it. "A male may become physically sexually mature at 6 or 7 perhaps, but because of the competitiveness of mating, they may not be able to actually successfully mate," he said.

Females mature at about 10. When the summer's over, pregnant right whales swim south to give birth off Florida or Georgia.
