BELIEVED
INCENDIARY
Capt,
Warms
told
a
government
inquiry
today
that
he
suspected
the
blare
was
started
by
an
incendiarist
He
said
that
he
bised
this
belief
on
the
fact
that
an
incendiary
attempt
had
been
made
on
the
ship
on
its
previous
voyage.
He
said
that
he
also
thought
significant
the
tact
that
the
blaze
was
discovered
in
the
ship's
locker
which
"blew
out"
at
the
start
of
the

Warms
stated
that
he
had
