Page 3 Oxygen Responsible For Radel Disaster - Jury "The apparent use of oxygen instead of compressed air in the Diesel starting was the apparent cause explos- jon. This was the final clause in the verdit of a jury investigating the deaths of Garland Guy and John Pezi, victims of an explos- ion that wrecked the motor cruis- er Radel at the dock of the Diesel Marine Corporation on the eve- ning of May 25. The two men died as the result of the explos- ion, the jury found. r. W. M. Wilkinson, coroner, presided at the inquest, held Fri- day evening in the council cham- ber. Members of the jury were Vernon Dynes, Arthur Heaven, Alec Phillips, Bert Regan and Howard Brown. According to evi: submitted fellow-work: s, Guy was trying the engine just before the blast, and Pez Was sitting on the dock. One wit- ness, Crawford Steiss, of Hamil: ton, stated that a large bottle of oxygen was brought to the engine room, and Guy spoke of using it to start the engine, with which he had been having difficulty. Daniel Hinsperger, of St. Clem: ent's, one of the diving crew, told the court that when the engine would not start, Charles Kenney, president of the Diesel Marine Corporation, owner of the boat, telephoned the garage of William Whitaker and Sons for a bottle of oxygen and sent him to get It. When he brought the bottle, it was hooked up to a fitting, Guy turned the starting wheel of the engine, and there was an explos: ion. Hinsperger himself was be- side the engine at the time. In his evidence Mr. Kenney stated that he had asked for com: pressed air, not oxygen, when he called the garage, and did not know that the bottle contained oxygen. Te admitted having used oxygen to start an engine in an: other boat, but stated that the engine was of a different type, a 4 cycle "dry". Guy, he sald, was an experienced Diesel operator, Jack Ribble, manager of Whit: aker's, was positive that Mr Kenney specified oxygen in their phone conversation, and men: tioned that he Intended to use it to start a Diesel motor. Inspector Lionel J. Bishop of the Ontario Fire Marshall's office, who Inves- tigated the explosion, told the jury that Mr. Kenney had declar- ed in a statement that he had often used oxygen in starting engines, but had later denied s. After giving his evidence, Har- ry Bowden, Toronto diver who recovered G body from the water, expressed the opinion that there should be some restrictions on what he called "get-rich-quick expeditions." "This is the second fatality of thls kind in two years," he declared. "There is no supervision at present." Much of the evidence was of & technical nature. It was pointed out that the contact of oxygen with the oil in the engine could have caused the explosion. Guy was an employee of the Diesel Marine Corporation, which had rented the Radel to an outside firm for salvage operations. New Library Releases Offer Wide Variety .
