Police Begin Inquiry
OF Belfast Ship Blast
That Took IS Lives
BY the Associated Press

BELFAST, Northern Ireland,
Sept. 12.-Eighteen dead and
dying men and more than so
injured were brought ashore to-
day from the British liner Reina
del Paciflco, which docked here
badly damaged by an explosion
a. sea.
While hundreds crowded the dock
area, the 17,702-ton motorship was
towed in and police began an in
quiry, studying among other things
what they described as the posi-
bility of sabotage.
The wartime troop transport, on
q trial run after being reftted for
resumption of peacetime service,
was torn by an engine room blast
Yesterday about IL miles north of
Copeland Island, which lies just off
the coast near the mouth of Belfast
Bay.
"a Reported Terribly Burned"
An sos brought five tugs and a
lifeboat carrying doctors and nurses.
One of the doctors reported "a Of
the injured terribly burned" and
said some probably would die.
Fifteen men we're killed outright
and three died this morning in hos
pitals in Bangor, Donaghadee and
Newtownards.
Belfast newspapers said only
crewmen, technicians and few
officials" of the line, the Pacific
Steam Navigation Co., were aboard
at the time of the explosion.
Reporters, kept away from the
vessel, were told by James Camp
bell, 23-year- -old carpenter for the
company:
You would not know the ship.
She is badly mashed up. The bulk
heads are twisted and the decks
are up
Crowds Barred From Dock.
Crowds gathered at the hospitals,
but were barred from the dock.
The 17-year-old Reina del Pacifico
the name is Spanish for Queen
of the Pacific" - voyaged 100000
miles without sustaining damage.
Reconditioned, she was due in
Liverpool next Thursday on COM
pletion of trials. She was to have
sailed with $50 passengers on her
first postwar civilian voyage No
vember 9, bound for the West Coast
of the United States and for Chile
via Bermuda and the Panama Canal.
Ramsay Macdonald, former Brit
ish Prime Minister, was on his way
to South America aboard the Reina
when he died in November, 1897.

Before you bounce your big toe off

minisce bit and recall some of
the gratifying events of the dying

Do you remember how St. George
lost the basketball championship in
an overtime to St. STAINS? How
Dunbar's nipped Lasnik's for the
bowling title, Joe's Bar upsetting
Lasnik's in a baseball game, how
Lasnik's went on to grab the lau-
rels for the second traight year?
How Dubois dropped Paul's and Eds
nine by a 7-2 count, those parish
picncs? Willie Meske's hay rides,
the heartaches caused by mal-bene-
VIOLENT women, Geneva-on-the-La
(superfluous question: or some 9TH
er resort? Whether you do or don't,
we wish all better, happier New

BOWLING -
The Lith. Club thought little
too much of Christmas, giving Su-

the then runners-up. The others

of the Christmas spirits coming aft
