[narrating] An alligator tug called Billy Shoepack worked up river, delivering essentials like gasoline, ropes, fuses and dynamite from Mittsville to the logging camps. Why an alligator tug? Well, you can see, he's just as low in the water. And in Billy's case; just as dangerous.
Ah, look who's here! It's Shoepack, the alligator tug!
Hey, Star Tugs! Don't you wish you carried something more exciting than wood?
No thanks. Just get that stuff away from here, you're welcome to it.
Dynamite's exciting stuff! Makes lovely big bangs! Fairly harmless if you know how to handle it, like I do.
You're not unloading next to us, are you?
Afraid so, O.J.. Don't worry, if it goes up, we all go up! [laughing]
Eh?!
No, it's safe. Only joking.
You'd better be..!
