The other time the operator was so close to shore a farmer pulled the 'chute out with a fence rail- a stick about 14 ft. long.

In the old days Edward P. Ripley, his great predecessor as head of the Atchison...
...comedians, Sterling Holloway and Jimmy Durante, cast in opposite types of roles. More startling is the fact that the experiment turns out so well. It is hard to say which is more effective-Durante's boxing match with a kangaroo when he and his shipmates are on shore leave, or Holloway's cracked voice and low comedy face when he is slowly choking to death in a room full of gas. tapping the wall with a hammer and unable to understand why none of the crew, whom he can see through a panel of glass, comes...
