RESULT o. A BLOW BACK.
Exploration Of the Accident on Boarc
the Missouri.


Pensacola, Fla, April 15.-Two more
ordinary seamen who were injured in
the terrible explosion on board the
battleship Missouri at target practice
are dead There is also one man of
the turret crew missing.
Expert turret officers of the vessels
In port say that the explosion was the
result of blow back, known as the
wind blowing the flames back from the
muzzle of the gun and through the
open breech, thus igniting the powder
charge being hoisted. Captain CoWles
and Lieutenant Hammer, the ordnance
officer, had taken extra precautions
against such an accident. realizing.
that such could occur, and for three
days no firing with the large pieces
was done on account Of the wind be-
ing from off shore. Finally it shifted
and it was deemed safe to commence
the firing. Lieutenant Hammer had
remained in the turret watching the
firing until the first string of shots
had been fred in rapid succession. He
thought from his observations that 1t
was safe to allow the continuation at
rapid firing and left the turret to con-
suit with the target expert on board
on this matter. Only three shots OF
the second string had been fired when
the explosion occurred. So rapid was
the gun being fired that 1t is thought
some Of the fire remained in. tho bar,

In their opinion as to the cause Of the
explosion. hut 1t Is probable that the
exact cause will never be known, as
there were no survivors among the
turret crew. The board Of inquiry
which was convened is still in session
