Norwegian Sailor Hero of Ship Explosion at Sea
A tall Norwegian sailor was hailed as a hero after the tanker Beta exploded, killing three crew and severely burning a fourth. Chief Mate Larsen, Georgetown University graduate, risked his life by descending into the blazing hold with Bos'n James O Keefe to train a firehose and prevent further catastrophe. He said the men knew another blast could occur but acted to save the ship's oil sections. Captain Kehoe doubted the cause, suggesting a hidden war mine might have triggered the blast.
