KEROSENE ABLAZE.

SPECTACULAR OUTBREAK --

ON BOARD JUNK

Raging furiously for over an hour, a junk anchored in the Yau- mati Typhoon shelter, on which туда a cargo of kerosene, was practically burned to the water's edge on Saturday night when the spirit mysteriously caught alight: The boat's legal presence in the sheiter with langerous goods aboard resulted in the subsequent disappearance of the crew who abaconded Immediately after the outbreak.

The Kowloon Fire Brigade re- ceived the call at exactly 9.05 p.m. on Saturday and immediately des patched two appliances to the scone, the new are float also being sent. The Kerosene, consisting of some 90 citses was well alight by the time the appliances "arrived and although efforts, were made to extinguish the blaze, the brigade were unable to do more than pre- vent the flames from spreading to any of the neighbouring craft:

After an hour's fire fighting, the conflagration was got under con- trol although not until it had grac tically destroyed the junk and its

cargo,

MAGISTRATE DECIDES AGAINST DEPARTMENT.:

Holding that the Public Worka Department had no authority to impose the fine and that an or-1 der for the removal of the offend-1 ing pipe-lines could not be granted in an application made under the circumstances, Mr R.

The Police report that they have no knowledge of the owners of either the kerosene or the junk, the crew of the boat having absconded immediately the fire broke out. It is stated that with such dangerous goods as kerosene aboard, the junk should not have been in the shel- 'ter and it is presumed that it was for this reason that the master and his folis disappeared.

It is reported from a Chinese source that there were seven per- sons on board at the time of the outbreak and with the exception of one man all managed to escape unhurt, This man is stated to have had a narrow escape from death after having had his clothes burned.

According to the vernacular press this man was asleep near the cases of kerosene and was not aware, of the fire until he awoke, Anding his clothes alight.
