Texas, Friday evening when the big
fighter was practicing the turret guns at
the Virginia Capes. One of the recoils
in the turret blew out. causing slycerine
and water to flow over the floor OF the
turret room and shaking the vessel to
considerable extent.
The jar of the shock caused several
plumbing pipes to break loose and other
slight damage was done the vessel. The
explosion, or rather the noise occasioned
when the recoil blew out. created consid-
cradle excitement aboard the vessel
among the 400 sailors and officers, but
quiet was soon restored when the exact
cause of the Trouble was explained.
The Texas returned to Hampton Roads.

officially reported to the Navy Depart

When the accident was made known az
