Inquest
Into

He

He

The
body
of
Stan
Orvik
was
recovered
from

of

about
an
hour
and
a
half
afr
the
explosion
which
started
the
fire.
STATEMENT
TO
POLICE
James
Irvine,
Home
Oil
dock
attendant',-
who
was
In
the
small
office
shed
at
the
end
of
the
wharf
where
the
Lorna
H.
was
moored,
In
a
statement
to
the
police,
said
that
the
Lorna
H.
had
filled
up
about
one
hour
to
an
hour
and
a
half
before
the
explosion
which
came
at
1:50
pjn.
The
skipper
started
the
engine
and
It
ran
for
about
a
minute
It
seemed
before
the
ex-
j
plosion
occurred.
Meantime,
ac
After
the
fire,
the
gas
line
on
the
dock
had,
apparently
become
Ignited,
ureat
clouds
of
black
smoke
started
billowing
skyward.
It
was
a
calm,
warm,
bright
afternoon
The
Lorna
H.
had
loaded
135
gallons
of
gasoline.
The
favorable
weather
was
a
propitious
circumstance
to
aid
the
fire
department
in
a
valiant
job
in
the
face
of
both
difficulty
and
danger.
One
hundred
and
fifty
barrels
of
naphtha,
coal
oil
and
lubricating
oil
lay
nearby.
With
the
assistance
of
volunteer
workers
much
of"
this
was
rolled
away
and
salvaged
although
some
of
the
barrels
burst
by
explosion.
Acting
Fire
Chief
Earl
Becker
directed
the
fire
fighting
and
Sgt.
L.
A.
N.
Potterton,
police
chief,
conducted
a
general
pa
trol,
assisted
by
Sgt.
Jack
Henry,
a
visiting
officer
from
Smithers
All
the
city's
fire
fighting
equipment
was
pressed
Into
ser
vice
and
a
fire
pumping
scow
from
the
nearby
dry
dock
was
also
used.
The
United
States
destroyer
J.
W.
Thomason,
which
was
visiting
port,
later
came
alongside
and
completed
the
final
extinguishment
by
spraying
the
entire
end
of
the
dock
with
the
foamite.
The
assistance
of
the
shore
patrol
of
the
U.S.S.
Thomason
was
also
acknowledged.
The
fire
was'
raging
as
two
coastal
liners
were
arriving
in
port
from
Vancouver
with
over
two
hundred
Olzeh
Temple
Shriners
coming
here
for
a

for
which

Hours
of
further
treatment
and

followed
In

EXPLOSION
DUE
TO
FUME
ACCUMULATION
.
The
explosion
was
tentatively
attributed
to
the
presence
of
fumes
due
to
leakage
;
In
gas
line
or
fuel
tanks.
So
great
was
the
blast
that
the
pilot
house,
bilge
pump
and
gas
tank
were
blown
clear
out
of
the
vessel
onto
the
ramp
of
the
dock.
The
boat
was
lifted
out
of
the
water
and
split
Into
two
with
fragments.
Part
of
the
deck
remained
afloat
but
the
hull
sank.
As
for
the
end
of
the
Home
Oil
wharf,
damage
was
such
that
considerable
renewing
of
plies
and
decking
will
be
required.
