[00:01.040] --- lesson 43 Fully insured
[00:06.000] --- Listen to the tape then answer the question below.
[00:11.480] --- Who owned the pie dish and why?
[00:17.160] Insurance companies are normally willing to insure anything.
[00:21.640] Insuring public or private property is a standard practice in most countries in the world.
[00:27.840] If, however, you were holding an open air garden party or a fete it would be equally possible to insure yourself in the event of bad weather.
[00:38.040] Needless to say, the bigger the risk an insurance company takes, the higher the premium you will have to pay.
[00:45.520] It is not uncommon to hear that a shipping company has made a claim for the cost of salvaging a sunken ship.
[00:52.680]
[01:01.560] Admittedly it was an unusual pie dish, for it was eighteen feet long and six feet wide.
[01:10.000] It had been purchased by a local authority so that an enormous pie could be baked for an annual fair.
[01:17.000] The pie committee decided that the best way to transport the dish would be by canal, so they insured it for the trip.
[01:25.640] Shortly after it was launched, the pie committee went to a local inn to celebrate.
[01:31.840] At the same time, a number of teenagers climbed on to the dish and held a little party of their own.
[01:39.200] Dancing proved to be more than the dish could bear, for during the party it capsized and sank in seven feet of water.
[01:48.720] The pie committee telephoned a local garage owner who arrived in a recovery truck to salvage the pie dish.
[01:56.320] Shivering in their wet clothes, the teenagers looked on while three men dived repeatedly into the water to locate the dish.
[02:05.760] They had little difficulty in finding it, but hauling it out of the water proved to be a serious problem.
[02:13.480] The sides of the dish were so smooth that it was almost impossible to attach hawsers and chains to the rim without damaging it.
[02:22.680] Eventually chains were fixed to one end of the dish and a powerful winch was put into operation.
[02:29.600] The dish rose to the surface and was gently drawn towards the canal bank.
[02:35.200] For one agonizing moment, the dish was perched precariously on the bank of the canal,
[02:41.960] but it suddenly overbalanced and slid back into the water.
[02:46.960] The men were now obliged to try once more.
[02:50.360] This time they fixed heavy metal clamps to both sides of the dish so that they could fasten the chains.
[02:57.840] The dish now had to be lifted vertically because one edge was resting against the side of the canal.
[03:05.160] The winch was again put into operation and one of the men started up the truck.
[03:11.080] Several minutes later, the dish was successfully hauled above the surface of the water.
[03:17.240] Water streamed in torrents over its sides with such force that it set up a huge wave in the canal.
[03:24.760] There was a danger that the wave would rebound off the other side of the bank and send the dish plunging into the water again.
[03:33.280] By working at tremendous speed, the men managed to get the dish on to dry land before the wave returned.
