On April 14, 1913, the Shatt- al-Arab Outer Bar gas buoy in the Persian Gulf was being charged with acetylene gas from the Royal India Marine ship Lawrence, and as the carbide, goaked in crude oil, was being passed down a canvas chute to the buoy an explosion occurred.. Shaik Mahomed, 1st class atoker, who was inside the cage of the buoy tending the chu'e, was knocked senseless, and as the chute caught fire both in and out- side the cage, enveloping the manhole in flames, his life was in extreme danger. Shaik Mohiden, who was not on duty, saw the ac- cident, and at once jumped from the lower boom on to the buoy, dashed through the flames, eight burning chate aside, and dragged to ten feet bigh, knocked the Shaik Mahomed out of the cage. He then put him into the water on the weather side of the buoy and held him there until a boat came to his relief.
