The men killed and injured were on

exploding gun weighed over ton.
The pieces passed through the deck,
instantly killing the three men. The
heavy missiles passing through the
gun deck, continued down through the
third deck, where they came in con-

steel bringing them to a stop, thus
saving the engineers and firemen who
were at work below Although the up

none was seriously injured.
The explosion occurred just as mess
had been sounded. The firing was to
have ceased after the shot for dinner

the Iowa was steaming along at a
speed of twelve knots when the officer
in charge of the twelve-inch turret
