ing Mr.. O'Rourke and Mr.. Houston We're
near the cable house on the bluff and
were testing a torpedo. Lieut.. Horts
was about fifteen feet away and the ste
nographer and negro were a few yards
distant.
Mr.. O'Rourke had the testing wires In
his hands and Mr.. Houston was bending
over the deadly explosive. By some un-
accountable reason Mr. ORourke con-
necte6 the battery wire with the firing
plug instead Of the testing plug and in a
moment a terrific explosion took place.
Mr.. Houston was blown TO atoms, the
only part OF his body being recovered
was a leg Mr.. O'Rourke was Instantly
killed, but was not very badly mutilated
and Lieutenant Harts was struck in the
small Of the back and in the head with
pieces OF shell.
The stenographer and negro. too. were
also struck by flying pieces of the-tor-
