  • Notes // Примечания: Educated in London; had worked in Java. Suffered electrocution after a short-circuit and explosion at Fearon Road Sub-Station, in which a British citizen Gunn also died. “It is believed the transformer, which operates in 35 gallons of oil, short-circuited, spraying the victims with scalding oil. The oil caught fire almost immediately, making human torches of men. Poliavsky was able to reach the middle of Fearon Road, where he collapsed. Gunn was not able to get out of the building. Woo took a different route and escaped the fire.”
