BROOKLYN, August Sat 2 o'clock
this afternoon, Long Island City was
shaken by the explosion OF two tank
boats lying opposite Rockeiellow's Long
Island City Oil Works. In less than
three minutes the flames communicated
with the material stored in the yard.
Three blocks OF buildings owned by
Rockefellow were soon in flames. Capt

oil exploded and number Of others
were killed and great number OF boat
men were compelled to jump into the
river.
Hunters Point fire depa rtmeDt were
early at the scene OF the Long Island
City fire this siternoon, but the force
being only partly equipped, but little
was done by it towards extiuguishing
the fire. 4 dispatch was sent TO the
headquarters OF the Brooklyn fire de-
psrtment for engines, and they were
dispatched to the fire. Several hrigs,
some filled with oil aud others loading,
we're at the dock and efforts were made
TO cut them loose and tow them into
the stream. Most of the vessels were
safely got out of the way. A brig
caught fire and it is thought she was
consumed. A large number OF tugs
hurried to the scene when the flames
first burst out, rendering good service
towing endangered vessels into mid
stream. Ope OF the Morrisanis ferry
boats also passed a line to brig ly-
ing alongside the dock and pulled her
into the middle OF the river. The
flames fed by streams o; oil pouring
from bursting barrels epread in a short
time to Goes dock aud it WAS thought
the whole structure would be DESTROYED
and the flames wonld spread to other
oil works in the immediate nelghbo7-
hood.

circumstances OF their having been fre-

trees on the margin OF rivers. The
gill-coyers are provided with sharp pro-

erectile, they are able wrlggle along at
surprising rate. Doubtless they
