  Kidnapped!!!

 the Mountford Shipping Co. has been kidnapped.
  A note demanding $500,000 ransom has been received. It has set a dead "D"
 line of 12:00 midnight for the ransom to be delivered to a deserted 
 warehouse on the docks in 52nd Street, or else young sweet Mary Mountford
 will be murdered.
  It was signed by the Irish Gang, infamous New York gangsters known for 
 their brutality.
  You, as Basil Byron, have been engaged to rescue sweet Mary Mountford, If
 you are successful, the ransom will be yours.

Solutions - Hints
I can not go out from the warehouse. MOVE TABLE and you can find a trapdoor under the table. I can not row the boat. You need some oars, that you find in the warehouse, where you have to MOVE TABLE twice. The chain is too slippy. You have to WEAR GLOVES. What is the combination code for the safe? PRY WATCH with the knife you have and LOOK WATCH.
