Bayclub crewmember lost as ship cabin fire rages at sea
A Panamanian bulk carrier Bayclub suffered an engine room blaze in the mid Atlantic. One crewmember was lost and presumed dead while the master remained aboard and the rest of the crew were accounted for. Coast Guard reported no further details. Also in brief, Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party lost governor seats in Hokkaido and Fukuoka in crucial local elections, raising odds against a June general vote. Postmaster Al Brooks puzzled by postal rates. Bev Livertson defends rash as husband Gerry returns. Two year olds Geordie Day and Heather Melvin provide humorous moments as they describe hats and shoes.
