L43-3: Fullyinsured
For one agonizingmoment, the dish was perched precariously on the bank of the canal, but itsuddenly overbalanced and slid back into the water. The men were now obliged totry once more. This time they fixed heavy metal clamps to both sides of thedish so that they could fasten the chains. The dish now had to be liftedvertically because one edge was resting against the side of the canal. Thewinch was again put into operation and one of the men started up the truck.Several minutes later, the dish was successfully hauled above the surface ofthe water. Water streamed in torrents over its sides with such force that itset up a huge wave in the canal. There was a danger that the wave would reboundoff the other side of the bank and send the dish plunging into the water again.By working at tremendous speed, the men managed to get the dish on to dry landbefore the wave returned.
