10 men, were engulfed in fire and re-

dying before the ship reached port.
The explosion occurred in the after
superimpbsed turret, where the men.
under command of Lieutenant Casper

The guns in the forward turret had
finished eight rounds Of practice and
the guns Of the after turret had fired
one round. Two cases. as the big 100.
pound bags Of powder are called, had
just been sent through the ammunition
hoists and were in the arms Of the
loader, whose name was withheld by
the ships officers. The loader stood al

guns ready to insert the charge. A,
