<DIV>One time coming back from Hawaii we were in a storm taking 40 degree rolls.
We were sitting in the boat shop some on a wall bench made of 1/4 in stell
and loaded with engine parts.. Three of us were leaning against and engine with
our ft. against the bench when it broke loose from the wall. A friend
of mine and me were on the outside and jumped clear as the bench hit the engine
a new kid who had just came aboard was caught in the middle and squashed down to
about 4 in. We pulled him out as the ship rolled back and just in time as
the bench rolled over and cut every thing to the block of the engine.. Had we
not pulled him clear he would have come out in 2 pieces. </DIV>
<DIV>He was passed over to an APA that was faster than us and they took him into
San Diego a couple of days before we got there. I never saw or heard of him
again always wondered what happened to him.</DIV>
<DIV>On that same trip a D-8 Cat broke loose in the well deck and they had to
used big timbers to get it wedged against one side before going down and
securing it to the deck. </DIV>
<DIV>Yep its a hard life out on those boats. many a Sailor has learned that the
hard way.</DIV>
