George Gross had q narrow escape
from being dangerously If not fatally
injured last Thursday. He was just
about to start out from Mitchell bay In
his gasoline launch with one Of his
brothers when the tank, containing
twenty gallons of gasoline, exploded,
setting fire to his clothing and severe
" burning his hands, wrists and face,
At the Instant of the explosion he In
stinctively closed his eyes, which
doubtless saved them. His brother,
who was also in the boat and was
slightly burned, shouted TO him to
Jump overheard and he did 80, thus
extinguishing the lire In his clOtnlng.
When he rose to the surface he was
rescued from the water by friends who
witnessed the accident and was helped
ashore. His burns, though very pain
full at first, will neither disfgure him
nor disable him long. The flame Of the
burning gasoline is said to have leaped
in the air IS much IS fifteen feet. The
boat was saved from destruction by be.
ing deluged with water while the oil
was burning. It Is very fortunate that
the accident occurred whore help was
close at hand. Had it been any con.
siderable distance from shore 1t would
in all probability have resulted fatally.
