I was transferred to the Dromus in Suez dockyard in Dec, 1951. She was there because a bulkhead in 5 starboard had come away from the hull and was scraping and flapping loose. This was fixed and we proceeded East. When Loading octane at Bukom in 1951, the last tank 7c was topped up and loading ceased. The 3rd. mate closed the valve and,on reaching the closure, there was a bang and the wheel continued to spin. The valve spindle had broken and we had no means of discharging the contents. On arrival at Colombo, a superintendent from Singapore was there to meet us with a plan of action. We commenced discharging the wing tanks, raised the hatch lid of 7c, placed boards across the coamings, put the emergency fire pump on top with the suction in 7c and discharge in 7s. When we had lowered the level to below the break,(about halfway) the Ch.Off descended the ladder, wearing a safety line, waders and the smoke helmet and carrying a large stillson heavily wrapped with rags, until reaching the break. With the stillson on the spindle, he managed to open the suction valve. A rather unpleasant operation! |
