Gasoline Explosion Injures Weetle Ferry Owner
William Westerman, owner of the Ollala ferry later used between Seattle and Weetle, escaped with severe burns after a gasoline explosion. He had closed the cabin tightly, left an engine valve likely open, and returned with a lantern causing vapor ignition. He swam to the wharf as flames consuming inflammable material aboard destroyed the launch. Westerman will likely miss days in bed due to burns on hands and face.
