 Tonight a great force of men Is search ing the ruins by electric light and the work will not be stopped until every foot of the debris has been examined. The Penberthy Injector Company's s plant occupied half a square at the cor ner of Abbott Street and Bi iooklyn Ave- nue. It was composed of two brick build ings, separated by a sixteen foot alley. The rear building in which the boiler was located and which was completely destroyed. was three stories in height, fifty fet in depth and 100 feet wide. The boiler room was on the first floor The first floor was utilized as the engine and boiler room and a room for testing he output of the plant. The finishing and brass manufacturing department was To- ,ated on the second floor and the third ioor was devoted to the foundry It is said that not over S5 men were at work n the various departments of this rear when the explosion occurred. in rala wo horizontal ones which furnished team for the engines and two vertical boilers which were used solely to test njectors.

The first mbulances on the scene were totally in- dequate to carry those who had ready been extricated and express agons and similar vehicles were pressed ito service.
