It was on the return leg of a scrap tow of the old steamer " Meldrum Bay " that trouble reared its ugly head in the worst possible way when the tug "Glenevis" radioed us that her generators couplings had shut down and she was losing power. This took place out in the middle of Lake Ontario, nary a vessel to be seen save for us on the other tug 500 ft away. The " Glenevis " slowed to a crawl then stopped bobbing in the water as we pulled along side her, lashed her to our port side, fed a cable through to her, hooked our generators into hers, cut ours off and we ran home on her generators and our diesel. It became a near 13 hour trip as the speed was cut down which normally would have been about 8 hours to get back to port. Such is life & times on one of the many Great Lakes......thanks for the peek
