Eric Dahl, employed by the contract
ors doing the pile driving work in the
trench at the Superior entry in con-

he was beyond the reach Of line or pole.
Dahl Wasssquite: exhausted when he at
last succeeded in getting upright on
one of the larger sticks and worked his
way to where he could safely reach the
shore.
