Nine Die as Tanker Jeanny Explodes in Alameda
In Alameda California two blasts and a fire tore through the tanker Jeanny during refitting killing nine workmen and injuring fifty.

The ship had been out of mothballs and was close to a February 8 deadline and was leased to a firm carrying oil to Europe. Welders torches may have ignited petroleum fumes and heat from torches could have touched off fuel in a tank. An investigation is under way.
