JUNK FIRE OFF LAICHIKOK
Blazing for almost eight hours, a large junk fully loaded with petrol, was totally destroyed this morning off Laichikok.
Only one man was injured. He was burned when he attempted to salvage tins of petrol floating in the vicinity.
An explosion occurred on board the junk shortly after midnight and the boat was immediately en- veloped in flames which were visible for miles.
The crew, some 10 in number, jumped overboard and swam to safety.
