PETROL FUMES IN SHIP’S HOLD
EIGHT MEN OVERCOME Australian Press Association. - Sydney, October 3. Eight men were overcome by fumes from leaking petrol tins in the course of being unloaded from the motorship Brand. Two were taken to hospital in a serious condition. Six others were treated aboard the ship. After the men had been rescued from the hold in which they were working, all work was suspended on the ship. It is thought that bad weather on the voyage from Colombo damaged the tins and caused the leakage.
