Loading Gasoline; Other Ships Saved

LOS ANGELES, June 23 (U. P). ~Flames licking at the shattered hulk of the tanker Markay hampered efforts today to find missing victims of Los Angeles harbor's worst explosion and fire. Pour persons were known dead, 13 were listed as missing and at least 24 were injured in the disastrous fire that began when the Markay blew up with an earth-quake-like roar in the pre-dawn darkness yesterday. Only two of the dead were identified. The 6000-ton tanker was loaded with nearly $8 million gallons of automotive gasoline, which burned as it floated 300 yards across the channel and set fire to berths leased by the American President lines.

Ships Towed to Safely Five shipping berths and parts

ships were towed to safety under an emergency plan which had drawn up after the recent dis- | astrous Texas City, Tex, explosion. i Twenty Shell Oil Co. storage tanks, loaded with 325,000 barrels of oil, were scorched. Firemen sprayed them and kept them from blowing ul

Fhe lost tanker was valued at $3,500,000 and its cargo at $800,000. Firemen estimated other damage at $3 million. After 10 hours the blaze was brought under control by fivé harbor five companies, three fire boats,
