almost caused riot besides stunning
four men. Dick Thompson, foreman
Louis Moss, Will Jordan and Tom
Bass were working together. Jordan
called to Moss to help him and as he
turned the bolt of lightning struck the
dry docks. Mess, who was working
with brace and bit, was floored by
what he thought was a blow in the
back. He sprang to his feet to hurl
a hammer at Jordan when he saw the
latter sprawling unconscious over a
beam he had been saving. Thomason

other workmen, who noticed the confu-
sion, rushed to seize Moss, who to all
appearances had laid out the whole
crew with a hammer. 1t required
