Witnesses Tell Inspectors of Explosion Blowing Hatches Off, Showing Flames At 9 o'clock this morning an inquiry to determine if possible the causes of the Inter-Island freighter Hamakua disaster, was begun by the local U. S. inspectors of hulls and boilers, Capts. Joseph J. Meany and Thomas J. Hee-ney. Capt Carl W. Wichert, master of the ill fated vestel which burned and exploded almost simultaneously at 4:25 Wednesday morning while steam ing in the channel between Maui and Kahoolawe, was the first witness called. He told all he knew about the disaster and the rrecautions he took to save the lives of his men when the explosion occurred, which blew off the hatch covers and revealed the hold a mass of flames, the fire at once com municating to the gasoline drums ston ed on deck forward, and quickly de stroying the vessel. Officers Give Testimony n Other officers of the Hamakua who were witnesses today Included the second officer, John Fisher; the chief engineer, George Porter; the first as sistant engineer, John S. Perry, and four or five sailors. The first officer, George Nystrom, who was last seen standing just forward of the hatch, lost his life In the explosion which blew off the hatch covers. At the same time that the federal inspectors began their inquiry,, the board of directors of the Inter-Island met today in special session. It is believed they are taking action look ing toward the iurchase of a vessel to ta'ie '.the place of ffie burned freighter, and possibly a second, boat to replace the wrecked Maui, whose battered steel hull is now broken up on the rocks of Makalawena Point, North Kona, Hawaii. Crew Will . Be Kept on Marine Supt William McKay of the Inter-Island said this morning th? company will continue to keep all the officers and crew of the Hamakua ou its payrolls, as there will be work for them all when another steamer is secured to take the Hamakua's place The company ha also continued to employ the Mam's crew. To replace the Hamakua now can not be done for less than $250,000, local waterfront .nen believe. Before the war a steam schooner of the Ham akua's size could have been purchased for $7.v".'0 or SifO.noo, but the ficti tious vaPiP cbt;-ining today wcu!d me n a rice more than twice thrtt much.
