GUTTED IN THE HARBOUR

A lighter of the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Go down Company was gutted this morning when a cargo of chlo ride of potash which was aboard ignited and exploded.

Several junk people aboard at · the time had narrow escapes and when the explosions blow, the chloride of potash into an" adjoining timber yard only the prompt work of the fire brigade prevented a blaze,

The lighter was alongside the Youmali timber yord and loaded with 47 casks of chloride of potash when the fire broke out at '10 'o'clock this morning. Apparently the heavy winds had shifted the casks and the friction caused them to ignite.

Chemicals Explode

At first coolles working aboard the lighter attempted to put out the fames, but within a few minutes the chemicals begen to explode and there was a hasty scramble ashore.

A tremendous column of smoke which was visible from all parts of the harbour shot up and Domes quickly ate up the wooden lighter.

Although two fire floats and an engine from the Kowloon Brigado rushed to the scene it was obvious nothing would be done to save the lighter.

A second danger, however, arose when some of the chloride which ex- ploded was thrown on to the stored wood in the timber.yard about 200 feet away. The fronten immediately turned their hosef onjure-timber, lo avoid further conflagrations.
