Killing ~ men, continues to be the sole
topic OF discussion among the hundreds
OF naval officers here, and many Incl
dents of the occurrence are recalled by
those who were either on board or near
the ship
lAe most expert OF the turret officers
admit that they cannot explain how the
explosion was caused. The master of
an ocean tug gives the best account yet
learned of the explosion. The tug was
about 100 yards distant from the Mis-
souri, when the explosion occurred and
teh master vas watching the firing
wher he saw a puff of smoke shoot
through the ton of the turret. For two
or three minutes this continued. when
there was dull thud and the smoke
became blacker and thicker, followed
by flames which burst through the tur-
ret and leapel 80 feet into the air.
Just prior to the bursting out of the
flames he saw mangled body shoot
up through the turret and fall on the
starbcard side of the Missouri. The
master of the tug started his vessel
toward the Missouri, when suddenly
turned and heading toward him at full
speed Tor nearly three mites tOWdTuS
the beach. hosting signals to the Tex
as, Scorpion and one or two other YES
sells all of which We're following close
behind. Tho tugbOat was almost run
down by the Missouri.
The battleship continued at full speed
with the smoke and flames pouring out
of her turret to within 100 yards of the
beach. when she was brought to a
standstill. The tug was close behind
the big ship and Captain Cowles could
be seen on the bridge giving instruc-
tons to his men. Streams of water
were playing on the turret. Just be-
fore the ship reached the beach, the
tug boatmen saw Capt. Cowles turn
his work or directing the fighting of Il
fire ard observe the ship. He immedi-
ately gave orders and the big ship
came to stop so close to the beach
that The men on the tuSboats and 9TH
or ships thought she was ashore.
The last of the 81 bodies were shipped
to their respective homes. Twelve went
