Started In Bunkers Former Engineer Feels Blaze Caused Explosion

Fourth Engineer Stanley Partington of the Leyland liner Winifredian, now in port after the Columbian disaster, says a smouldering fire in coal bunkers likely sparked the explosion that destroyed the Columbian. He arrived from Liverpool with the Winifredian and knew the burned vessel's engines well. He notes the blasts were from fire, not the other way around, and recalls missing men and his late chief engineer.
