There was nothing about the condition of the dam the entirety of May 31 to be "perfectly cool" about. However, even if Siebert had had the body temperature commensurate with the circumstances and reported it with the warmth of alarm, it was getting very late in the day for excitable to make any difference.
*There is a fifty-seven minute gap in the timeline where there should not be a gap. The timeline taken or reconstructed from McCullough is picked up to 12:55 p.m. The next entry, next post, is 1:52. This is getting very close to nut-cuttin' time, there was surely much activity at SFFHC, but the activity is not put with a time for almost one hour.
