Summary
The October 1965 Beaver Beacon reported that the Beaver Islander stopped on September 29 after a main-clutch failure. Repair delays left nearly 50 cars waiting for the opening of hunting season, so the Emerald Isle returned to service for five days before the Beaver Islander returned to commission.
