PARINGA MYSTERY
FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY HAVE CAUSED FOUNDERING (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 10th January, 11.15 a.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. A report that a fire occurred in the bunkers of the Paringa several days before she left on the last voyage suggests that the vessel may have foundered in heavy seas after a fire or an explosion in her bunkers. The report of the fire is confirmed by four Chinese seamen from the Vincas. It is established that the Paringa cast off the derelict Vincas on Christmas Day 31 hours before she spoke by wireless to the motorship Ilauralci.
