PORTION of the evidenes given at the inquiry in gard to the recent fire on the "Hankos," which rosulted in such an appalling loss of life, supplies food for uncomfortable reflection. Mr A. Lane, Chief Engineer of the Fire Brigade, stated that a water pressure of 100 lbs was required to deal with 11a.m.-A action of Household Forsi-fire but that was not obtainable at any turu,fo, at Mesars Hughes & Bough's stage whilethe “Hankaw" was ablaze. Had the 100lbs pressure been avail. able the forward part of the vessel would have been saved This is highly important testimony bat Mr Lane had something more disqulating to disclose He went on to say that although he considered the motor bouses could give as much pressure as was required the sizes of the mains would not give a sufficient luk of water To quote bis evidence "he did not know the size of all the wina but could speak of the Central District. If building like the Hongkong Hotel gat on fire he did not think the mains would give suffi- cient water to check it. He did not think they could get n sufficient bulk of water is deal with some of the large building they once gat a good start."
