"They were everywhere. all in an instant. l know every nook and cranny of the place and was able 70 save my life, but the other poor fellows there must be twenty-five of them never had chance to get away. They either attempted to rush to the hrst floor or did not know on which side the windows were. They were more fortu- nate, however, than those below in the tunnel, who. am afraid. have per ished.
 Those on the first floor escaped by . miracle. I and some others were on the second floor asleep; there was no warn- ing. Everybody became frightened at the same. instant. as the flames leaped at us from every direction. There were screams and yelis such as no one could describe and everybody rushed madly toward what they thought were windows or doors. We did manage somehow to get onto the pier on which the crib was built: A lot of men jumped into the lake. while others of us huddled together at a far corner of the pier.
 Tt was only few minutes before the building was gone. Some of the boards and timber fell into the lake and were used as life preservers by men who

 Our first hope of rescue came when we saw the Morford start from shore in our direction. I should say that forty men were asleep when the fire started"

4.t |, possible when the alarm of fire was given.
 Many of the survivors kept then- selves aofiat by clinging to the ice af- ter they had jumped from the burn ing crfb. It is known that at least three who had sought safety in this manner were drowned bu the majority were taken aboard the tug Morford.
 The boat was overloaded on the first trip to the shore and nineteen of the suffering passengers were disembarked at the nearby intake station of the waterworks system. All were suffer ing from cold or burns and benumbed with the cold. Those who remained on the tug were taken to South Chicago. where the survivors for the first time had chance to Identify each other.
 The entire south shore was trans formed into a series of receiving hos pitsis for the care of the injured.
 Private residences were thrown open by the residents of the vicinity, but unfortunately the need of physicians and nurses was comparatively small after tugs had made two or three trips to the shore.
 From that time until darkness the boat loads consisted of silent forms piled in heaps upon the ice-coated decks. :,
 The fire lacked none of ths clements of melodrama. Sixty men. twenty of them at work in the tunnel under the crib. few moving about the structure and others asleep in their bunks were suddenly confronted with death by the explosion of q powder which immediately wrapped the wooden structure in flames. Those who were not killed or injured by the first fiery blast rushed out of doors.-- to ind no means of escape.

 On every side were the waters of Lake Michigan, its surface almost covered by great cakes of broken ice. A mile and half distant. near the shore at Seventy third street. lay their only hope. the tug Morford. It could be dimly seen through the haze of fog and smoke. On the shore a dim black line Indicated the gather- ing of crowds attracted by the flames.
 When Captain Johnson. after what seemed to hin an fnterminable trip. reached the crib. a frightful scene greeted his eyes. Frantic victims of the ire. their hair singed off and their skins blackened, were struggling in the water and ice. Some of them fought against their rescurers. only to sink unconscious on deck when forced aboard the tug, When every body in sight had been taken aboard. a second muffied explosion was heard. probably marking the snuffing out of more lives In the tunnel under the crib.
 ,"When neared the crib" said Captain Johnson T saw a number of men. their clothing ablaze, run out of the blazing structure and jump into the lake. Others rapidly twisted ropes about anything thy could find and jumped into the water. to pre- vent being drowned. others used boxes and pieces of timber as life preservers.
 when we got within nifty feet of the crib slowed down the engine and we began throwing out ropes and life belts to the men in the water Some of the men fought us and others were so cold and stiff from their icy baths that we had to reach over and drag them fin. They were taken to the boiler room where they were kept as warm as possible.
 Meanwhile, we kept drifting closer to- the crib, where dozen or more men huddled together on far sec tion of the< <pIling which had not been reached by the flames. were crying for assistance. ~Wheu we bumped against the ruined atructure some of the men jumped aboard. but others were so unnerved that we had to climb out and drag them aboard. still others crawled from diff ferent parts Of the crib with their clothine ablabe One of these we were compelled to throw into the fake in or- der to extinguish the Ire in his cloth ing. We tied q rope around him and dipped him in the water and then pulled him back aboard the tug. It was while we were doing this that the second ex- ploslon occurred and backed the tug away.
 We could see no more injured and departed for the shore. We had forty i've men aboard. twenty-slx of whom were injured"
