Blame Oiler For Fire 0n Funeral Ship HALIFAX, Jan. 17. — (CP) — A green oilcr's unfamiliarity with oil gadgets in the engine room of the ill-fated United States Army transport Connolly was the cause of the fire which destroyed the ship. -. This was a charge made here io- day by Anthony Daenselvofl, a Russian-Annericsn from Middle Is- land, N.Y.. an engine-room " hand in the Connolly. Dscnselvosky said that a. prelim- innly investigation had showed that the green oiler thought be had locked one of the big strainers on one of the oil feed lines that carry fuel to the ship's giant burners. When his relief-Floyd Sellers of Whitefield, N.C.-took over Sellars switched the pressure from one feed line to the other with the un- looked strainer cap. ‘lihe cap flew off and the hot oil spurted into the air. splashing over Sellers and igniting wlhcn it sprayed on the big burners under the boilers. A smother of hot flames envelop- ed the engine room and Sellars ran screaming to safely. Fortunately he was able to beat out the burning oil on his hands and face. lie quickly tore off his flaming garments and wrapped himself ina blanket. It was this blanket that probably saved bin from serious frost-bite when he spent the long 12 hours in the open boat waittng for rescue by the Union Victory. He was still wrapped in the warm gray blanket when hefstepped ashore‘ here this morning into s waiting ambulance. There was one Canadian in the Connolly. He was Rafmould Rye. of Norwegian origin. who lived in Vancouver until 1943 and who uses a Canadian passport. Rye. an engine room wiper. was in the saline lifeboat with Capt. Ben A. Boeteiman. master of the burned ship. when the veteran sailor decided tn try to reboani his ship and sail iirbsok io New York. "The Captain noticed the fismm dying some and ssl-al he thoiuht we'd try and return to the ship. We Weren't heroes at that for I don't mind saying that anything seemed better than the prospect of remain- ing in those exposed boats in the bitter cold. But when we sol. close to the ship. she biased up to the sky and we retreated. We knew it was hopeless.” COSTLY FIITI A rat is said to do at least one dollar's worth of damage a year on the farm and at least twice that amount in the city. 4 Isa Messroriam soasar s. szunor There passed away suddenly on ' Slllldly, Novsmber 30th, Robert s.
