Would seem to be a different incident Sherm.
In 1952, Ball was in command of a Convair 240 when a starboard engine became troublesome and automatically feathered during take-off from Brisbane airport. He coaxed the aircraft to climb gradually on one engine before it began losing altitude near the Brisbane River. Fortunately, the crew restarted the engine and returned to the airport
A regular event it would seem, remember a 440 of Airlines of South Australia undergoing an engine change in Whyalla following a failure after take off.
