eighty LIVES LOST
ON BATTLESHIP

machinery and the magazine had been

the vessel were torn asunder and frag-
ments of armor, decks, superstructures
and small boats, mingled with mangled
bodies, were hurled high in the air.
Wild scenes on deck followed the
shocks. Scores of men jumped into the
harbor and many were drowned. So
fierce were the flames which burst out
in all directions from the stricken ship
that telegraph and telephone wires
| about the arsenal dock to which the
vessel was moored were fused. Scores
of bodies of victims were incinerated.
