Show 70879 Baldwin- C 5070 A I have once or twice, with the Chandler. Q Where was that? A Between No. 1 and Moab; that was with a light load. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Three of these boats had propellers, didn't they? A Yes sir. Q They are not in a tunnel. A No, submerged. Q Did you ever knock off any of those propellers? A I did once. Q Which boat? A The " Punkin Seed ", I think there was a floating chunk and it hit just right, went through the guard; I knocked the propeller off. Q Outside of that you didn't have any trouble with the propellers? A No, only the time I burned the connecting rod out of the Chandler; we would have a few minutes trouble with a bar, something like that; nothing to speak of. Q Have you also operated that Evinrude boat? A Not very much. Q Ever knocked the propeller off of that, or shear any pins in it? |
