Police said they believed one crewman was trapped aboard the burning carco ship, the Pmeland from Lcith, Scotland, about 4COO gross tons.

At least a dozen other crewmen jumped into the water as the burning ve.ssel parted its mooring lines and drifted toward an adjoining pier. Some were taken to nearby hospitals. There was no immediate information whether anyone had been caught by the fast-spreading fire on the 800-foot long Pier 46 South which juts 800 feet into the river in this busy ocean shipping port. A general alarm summoned all downtown firefighting equipment and three fireboats to the scene as the smouldering Pineland Leith drifted toward Pier 48 South. Pier 46 South is operated by the Pennsylvania railroad, and Southern Steamship Co.
