I PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. | Bbisiiank, July 28. Tho steamer Aramac, which arrived from Sydney today, reports that when she was between Point Danger and Point Look Out early this morning, a terrific explosion occurred. Flames shot up, and the berths on one side of the forecabin were completely wrecked. Four passengers were injured, but their wounds are not serious. The fire was quickly extinguished. The cartridge was a large one, made of tin and canvas. Fortunately no one was sleeping in the immediate vicinity of the explosion. The bulkheads wore partly thrown down.
