TANKER ABLAZE
FOLLOWING ON EXPLOSION LOSS OF WHOLE CREW FEARED. TRAGEDY NEAR BRITISH COAST. It is feared that all the 46 of the crew of the Dublin oil-tanker Inverdargill (9500 tons) lost their lives when it sank off the south-west coast of England on Tuesday, a radio message states. Fourteen of those on board were British officers and engineers and the remainder West Indians. The tanker burst into Hames and then exploded. A spectator on shore said he saw a shape not far from the wrecked tanker which looked like a submarine.
