The Anding of the Court was: "The 5.9. Kaitangata. Official Number 125,625, was an a voyage from Hong Kong to Haiphong with a cargo of 25,342 cases of aviation spirit and 995 cases of lubricating 011.

"We are of the opinion that gasolene vapour found its way from No. 2 hold to the stokehold and was ignited when the ares. were being cleaned.

"We are unable to say definitely" how the vapour arrived in the stokehold but there is a reason- able supposition that it leaked through the wooden fore bulkhead of the Cross bunker, thence through the cross bunker and the water-tight doors in the stokehold bulkhead.

"In these circumstances we con- side: that a flash-back to the source from which the vapour ori- ginated may have taken place re- sulting in the first explosion in No. 2 hold.
