THE COAL FEEDER WAS FROZEN DUE TO COLD TEMPERATURES. EE WAS PULLING ON THE V-BELTS TO GET THE FEEDER DISLODGED. WHEN THE PITMAN ARM WAS FULLY EXTENDED THE FEEDER RELEASED & PULLED EE'S RIGHT T HUMB BETWEEN THE BELT & PULLEY CLOSEST TO THE ELECTRIC MOTOR. AT THIS TIME ALL SOURCES OF POWER TO THIS ONE FEEDER WERE DISCONNECTED. EE'S TOP PORTION OF RIGHT THUMB WAS SEVERED.

LEFT FLOOR CATCHES UNDER CRABLINE WHEN BARGE IS BEING SET IN PLACE TO LOAD. THE BARGE SHIFTS BECAUSE OF BOAT GOING UP RIVER CAUSING THE CABLE TO SNAP. HE RECEIVES BRUISES TO THE TOP OR HIS LEF T FOOT.

WHILE GAUGING BARGE BEING LOADED WITH COAL THE CABLE WHICH PULLS BARGE UP AND DOWN THE RIVER HIT EE'S LEFT ELBOW. CREATED A BRUISE AND SMALL CUT.
