TELLS STORY OF ACCIDENT
Survivor Of Georgia Disaster Describes
Terrible Affair.

Ar ICTFlOIS HIiAITs
Boston, July 17.-From his cot in
the naval hospital at Chelsea Acting
Gunner's Captain Charles H. Hansel
was able to tell the story of the acct
dent on the United States b%attleship
Georgia, which cost eight lives and
caused injuries to thirteen other men
in Cape Cod bay. Mr. Hansel said:
'None Of us knew much about it
till it was all over it was SO quick.
When I saw that first flash instinct
told ME what was up and l kept pres
ence of mind enough to dodge back
from the sheet of flame that began to
envelop the turret. I got down to the
floor, crawled under the gun and out
to the portfolio az far as l could get.
Here | could get some air and I was so
low down that the fumes did not hurt
me seriously. Kimball was with me
and he did not get a burn. My hand
was burned where l held al iron rod
and l got burned around the head, but
I guess it is not very bad.
The first fash was followed quick
~ by a second from the other bag of
powder, each containing about 100
pounds of smokeless powder. That
was q moment Of terror to all who
were still conscious, but they were
few. Men were lying in heaps, moan
ing, dying, unconscious, baking and
suffocating.
'.The next minute seemed eternity.
But help from outside came quickly
ard the men were lifted out and taken
away to be cared for. But living me
could not enter the turret until the
heat had been overcome by pouring
in water, which also settled the smoke
and drove out the gases to some ex-
tent. Those poor fellows were ter
ribly burned, some SO as to be un-
recognizable. Eyes were burned out.
faces, bodies and arms and legs black
ened and there were no features left
on some of the charred faces"
Two great boxes, n addressed to
Midshipman Cruz and the other to
ssthe sailors of the Georgia. were re-
ceivad at the naval hospital during,
the day. They contained flowers and
inside of each box was the card of
Admiral Yamamoto, the Japanese ma
val officer who visited Boston Monday.

SPARK CAUSE OF DISASTER
Live Coal Blown From Smokestack of
Vessel lgnites Two Bags of Powder
In the Turret and Every Man Pres
ent Is Terribly Burned.

Boston, July 17.-Of the thirteen
survivors of the twenty-one injured
through the ignition of a bag of pow.
der in the after superimposed turret of
the battleship Georgia while the vessel
was engaged in target practice in
Cape Cod bay three are believed to
have but small chances of recovery.
The injured are at the United States
naval hospital at Chelsea. The three
men whose lives are aespaired of are
Edward J. Walsh, seaman, of Lynn,
Mass, whose chest and face are badly
burned; Louis O. Meese of Beren, O..
ordinary seaman, whose arms, face
and chest were burned, and James P.
Thomas, ordinary seaman, of Brook.
Ign, N. Y, whose face, arms, chest and
back were burned.
When the Georgia arrived here she
carried the corpses of six of her crew
who had died from their burns on the
way from the target grounds to the
hospital and later two more sue.
cumbed to their injuries. One of those
who died during the night was Lieu.
tenant Caspar Goodrich, a son of Rear
Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich, comman-
dant Of tho New York hayward. AID.
miral Goodrich arrived at the hospital
with his wife just before his son died
after a hurried trip from Brooklyn.
The cause of the accident was the
falling Of a spark which was probably
blown from n of the Georgia's
smokestacks IN a bag of powder which
a loader was carrying to a gun in the
after superimposed turret. The pow
der burst into flames and enveloped
the twenty-one men who were penned
in the steel cage. The battleship sui
fered comparatively little damage
from the explosion and resumed target
practice under orders of the navy de-
apartment.
OF the injured men Seamen Walsh
and Thomas are clinging to life by
but a thread and death seems only a
question of hours. Midshipman Cruz
also is in a critical condition. The
other mems condition has not changed
since they were brought to the hos
Dital.
