scious as they entered, and had to be pulled
out by their comrades, but unheeding
their advice. the commanding officer rushed
below. followed by Lieut.. Hammer. the
ordnance officer, and Lieut.. Cleland Davis.
Capt. Cowles caught up dying oiue-
jacket in his arms and staggered 10 the
deck with him. The bluejacket. with two
others from the handling room. had crawleo
partly from their place of duty when they
had been overcome. Before the fumes OF
the burning powder had left the turret ofh-
GERS and men were lifting out the dying
and dead men. Three minutes after the ex-
plosion were all on deck. and the surgeons
from the Missouri. Texas and Brooklyn
were attending to those not dead.
Dead Lying in Heap.
The twenty-five men of the turret were
found lying i'm a heap They had started
for the exit when the first explosion oc-
CURED. and had just reached there when
the more terrible explosion in the handing
room occurred, which burned and strangled
them to death. Lieut.. Davidson, the officer
in charge of the turret, had evidently given
some command to the men, as he was on
top of the heap of men, having fallen there
after he had allowed them to pass MIN TO
get out of the turret. The bodies were
hardly recognizable, the terrible and quick
fire having burned clothing from the
bodies of the men. and the flesh hung from
them in shreds. The faces were mutiiateo
by the smoke and flames only. Only one
man was breathing when the turret crew
was rescued and he died a moment after
he reached deck.

we have used the jellied sea-weed which

excellent base for soap and the result is
