One of our convoy lost a propellor.

Yeah, we were in a convoy there. There were six vessels on our convoys, you know. Didn’t go separately. Nobody went over singularly; there was always five or six went over there at the same time, you know. Chasing submarines so they’d be able to rescue people if they got submarined because they got blown up by a torpedo. So we had six in our convoy and one of them lost a propeller, so they had to stay there three days to get a new one put on. And they got all the men to get in the bow of the boat so it tipped back going this way, see, to get it up in the air so they could work on the propeller, on the back end here. Finally, took them three days to do that and Liverpool was full of submarines waiting for us to come. They knew we were coming, you know Yeah, well, they were in the harbour, all these submarines. Three or four of them waiting for us to get in there. Big vessels. We didn’t come there, so they went back out again. So the next week we arrived, safe as we could be. We just missed them by about three days.
