found to be horribly burned. Three OF
the men were burned beyond recognt-
ton and mutilated beyond the SEM
blance of human beings. Eyes were
burned out and faces, bodies, arms and
legs blackened
Soon after the men had been placed
in their cots it was seen that Lieuten-
ant Goodrich, Pair, Walsh and Thomas
had only a short time to live. SIX doc
tors and attendants watched constant
ly at the bedside of Lieutenant Good
rich, who then was barely alive. Then
he rallied enough to give the surgeons
hope that his father would be in time
to see him alive. Thomas was at this
time suffering untold agony, begging
piteously that he might live, but his
doctors did not believe he would last
through the night.
Men Stoics In Their Pain.
The rows of cots in the wards, with
their suffering, bandaged burdens, bore
silent testimony to the bravery of the
men. who in almost every case. thou0h

the same instant and threw himself
forward on his face, at the same time
shouting warning to his turret mates.
The other men who had seen the spot
were Eich and Hansell, and they also
threw themselves on the floor of the
turret.
Before the other men in the turret
could understand what caused the
leaders, cry of warning there was a
binding fash as the burning powder
exploded. Flames, smoke and nause-
GUS gases filed the little superstruc-
ture, in which more than score of
men were confined. Inasmuch as the
powder was not confined there was no
deafening report, and every nook and
Granny Of the turret was filed with
flame.
Jumped Into Sea.
Blinded by the smoke and flame,
choked by the acrid, penetrating fumes
and maddened with pain, the men
screamed in agony. Some staggered
blindly up the ladder to the hatchway
In the top of the turret, while others
crept along the turret floor, crying for
assistance.
I Lieutenant Goodrich and Seaman
Maleck became crazed, staggered up
the iron ladder to the top of the turret
and then threw themselves headlong
into the sea in despairing effort to
escape death by the fire that was con
suming their clothing.
Meanwhile some of the burning pow
der had cleared away, and the ship
mates of the unfortunate men rushed
to their assistance. Tenderly the suf-
fering sailors were lifted out of the
fire blackened turret and taken to the
ships hospital, where the surgeons at
tended them

There was nothing further until
from Captain Henry McCrea of the
Georgia. which was nearing this port,
came the laconic wireless message:
give dead.'
AS the big ship slowly steamed up
Boston harbor twenty-five minutes lat
err the wireless recorded these words:
sSix Dead
When the Georgia, with her dead and
injured, was warped in at pier at the
navy yard there was made known the
details of one of the worst naval acct
dents that has ever taken place off the
New England coast.
The explosion occurred in the after
superimposed turret, where the men,
under command of Lieutenant Casper
Goodrich, son of Rear Admiral Good
rich, commandant of the New York
navy yard, and Midshipmen Faulkner
Goldthwaite and Sohn Thomas Cruise,
were operating the eight inch guns.
Black Spot Warning of Death.
The guns in the forward turrets
had finished eight rounds of practice.
and the guns of the after turret had
fred one round. Two cases, as the big
hundred pound bags of powder are
called, had just been sent up through
the ammunition hoist and were in the
arms of the loader whose name is
withheld. The loader stood at the
breech of one of the eight inch guns
ready to insert the charge.
At this moment the turret was seen
to be smoky, and two men who stood
near the loader saw a black spot on
the bag, indicating that the charge had
ignited and was smoldering.
The loader discovered the spot at

Rescued by Launch.


Lieutenant Goodrich and Seaman
Maleck, struggling in the sea, were
seen by men in launch returning
from an inspection of the target and
were rescued.
The surgical staff of the Georgia was
soon REINFORCED by the surgeons of
the other vessels in the fleet, sum-
moned by wireless telegraphy, signal
flags and the wigwag.
A wireless message of the accident
was sent to the government station on
the highlands of Cape Cod and thence
overland to the navy department at
Washington and to the navy yard
here, the latter asking that twenty
stretchers be provided to remove the
wounded men to the Naval hospital
when the Georgia arrived at Boston,
whittier her PROV was then turned.
Naval Hospital Made Ready.
AS soon as he received the news of
the disaster Rear Admiral Albert s.
Snow, commandant of the navy yard,
had the Naval hospital at Chelsea
prepared for the care of the sufferers
and ambulances summoned from the
Naval hospital, the Soldiers home,
Boston and Chelsea.

later death ended the sufferings of

When the Georgia arrived great

Chaplain Charlton said that on reach
ing the turret the first man he found
was Midshipman Cruise, who was ter
ribly injured He would not allow the
chaplain to do anything for him, but
said:
"Let me alone. am all right Look
after those other fellows"
The national colors fioated at the
peak of the Georgia as she steamed up
the harbor., AS the ship made fast to
the pier the flag at the peak was low
cred and the flag at the stern run up t.
the top of the staff. A few moments
later every flag in the yard was half
masted, while the other vessels in port
also lowered their colors.
Georgia Resumes Practice.
A detachment of bluejackets from
the receiving ship Wabash was as
signed as hospital corps. They board
ed the Georgia, whose crew was con-
fined to ship and brought ashore the
dead and injured and their belongings.

and other departments of the yard had

to administer the consultations of the
church.
A detachment Of marines armed and
with fixed bayonets kept the crowd at
a distance, and no one was allowed to
pass down the pier AS soon as the
ship was made fast to the pier five
ambulances drove up to receive the in
jured men.
Victims Mutilated.
The sufferers were borne down the
gangplank on stretchers and placed
aboard the waiting ambulances, which
carried them to the Naval hospital,

Blast Hurls Mass of Metal
Into Top of Wells

A 2oo-pound projectile, hurled by a
blast Of dynamite, flew through the
air from lot in Mission street, near
Second, yesterday morning and cut
and broke away a thick castiron col

Fargo building, Mission and Second
streets, 400 feet away. With the great
mass Of metal fell a shower of lighter
scraps. endangering the lives of watch
men in the vicinity.
One heavy mass sped over the ex-
press company's big structure, landed
on the roof of the Schoenberg build
ing in Second street, near Market tore
a great hole in the roof and fell
through two floors. A shower of
smaller fragments fell in the neigh
boring streets. The entire damage
done by the blast is estimated at over
$4,000, $4,000 being the estimate of the
loss caused to the express company

The blast was set off on property

tity of lead and iron pipes and Joints

ment, amalgamating in the great heat
with maso4-y and earth. The mix
ture is solid and defies ordinary exca-
vating tools, so blasting was resorted
to. A permit was secured from the
Board Of Supervisors by Holbrook
