UNLUCKY LOK SUN.

MATERIAL STOLEN BY FISHERMEN?

Many theories have been ad- vanced as to the most likely cause of the fire on the stranded B.B. Lok Sun, and while it is thought in some quarters that the outbreak on Saturday was probably due to the spontaneous combustion in tho' bunkers, which contained approx: imately 150 tons of coal, the Lopinion held by some people is that the fire was caused by flahermen in search of loot.'

This seems to be borne out by a report made to the Police by Mr. T. H. G. Brayfield, of Messrs. Carmichael and Clark, the owners of the vessel, who states that over the week-end, a quantity of Manila rope, three steel wire hawsers. Bom awnings, tarpauline and a quantity of ship material were stolen from the Lok Sun. by fishermen. The total value of the material' stolen is not given.

As reported yesterday, the Lok Sun was sold on Monday afternoon by public auction at the Lammert Auction Rooms to the Sun Fat Co., of No. 640 Canton Rond. for $11,900.
