Seven Injured
When Fishing Boat
Explodes, Sinks
ASTORIA. Ore. (#*)—Five city
firemen and two boat workers
were burned and injured when
four explosions destroyed a 42
foot trolling vessel here at Fisher
men’s dock yesterday .
The firemen had joined the two
men on the troller’s deck to ex
amine the smoldering hull when
the second blast erupted. Two
other explosions followed and the
ves el sank.
None of the injured was in seri
ous condition.
Fire chief Wayne Osterby, in
jured in the second blast, said Ro
land Thomas, 25, was blown into
the water by the initial explosion.
Thomas swam back and crawled
aboard to help Chester Fellow, 34,
i extinguish the flames. Osterby
said the two had smothered the
first fire when the firemen arrived
and started their check.
Osterby said burning gasoline
sprayed over the harbor waters
endangered a multi-million dollar
' fleet of drag boats berthed nearby.
Chemicals put out the floating
flames, however, before the near
by boats were damaged.
The destroyed troller was the
Pasolento of Port Angeles, Wash.,
owned by Ray Millard, Anacortes,
Wash. It had not been in use in
recent months.
A large commercial fishing fleet
was tied up in the basin because
of Easter Sunday and the drag
boat fishermen’s dispute with
packers over new low prices for
their catches.
The dock is located at the major
fishing boat basin here.
