the City of Washington in its descent adds
another puzzling feature to the cause. An
internal explosion would not have hurled
it SO high in the air.
The captain choked down his emotion
when asked him of the disaster.
There is very little that l can tell you,
he replied. II was in the cabin at the
time. i had just finished letter to my
family when that enormous crash came.
The ship lurched heavily TO port and
knew in an instant what it all meant--
that it meant that my ship had blown up.
All the cabin lights were put out and as

Reaching the deck, l gave orders to post
sentries, to keep silence and to flood the
magazines. The magazines were already
