The first launches to arrive to the junk's rescue were two from the Harbour Depart. ment and soon after two Police plonaces reach- ed the scene of the burning junk. It was par fectly evident that nothing could be done to save the craft. The efforts of the Water Police were accordingly confined to keeping the burb log tins from floating into the southern fairway. The big No. 1 Police launch then arrived. She'approached within close distance of the burning derelict and then made for the floating fire-trail steaming, round it.
