 R. Karl, one of the men supposed to be dead. is credited with having saved four men. Karl was a big fellow and a good swimmer, and in the water held up two men until two life preservers came his way. He gave these to the men then swan around and found two other men ex- hausted and sinking. These he held up until they were picked up by the boat. Still regardless of his own safetly he did not attempt to get aboard for fear of overlooking the boat. Nobody seems to have seen him afterwards. Accounts of his bravery are given by his shipmates
 All day today police boats dotted the river above West 157th street. their crews grappling for bodies but their efforts were in vain.
 On board the flagship Louisiana, Rear Admiral VreeIand convened a court martial to determine the exact cause of the accident and place the responsibility. Various versions of the accident are in circulation. The generally accepted one is that the barge. heavily loaded with sailors and marines returning from shore leave. wac lowed into the heavy swells of moment like cork the barge plunged into the trough between two waves. one of which broke over the side and swamped It.
 Instantly the choppy water became dotted with struggling, shouting men, with floating suit cases, and personal belongings. The whis- He by the little steam launch towing he barge rent the air with sharp staccatO calls for assistance. The few boats in the vicinity responded. Many of the sailors and marines were pulled aboard these boats but others leld tightly to the swamped barge. Still others. in the unequal battle with the heavy waves and tide, floated upstream and disappeared.

THE TAKEN AND THE LEFT.

Similar remarkable escapes were achieved by Mark Bentley, chief pressman of the Times and his as- sistants. Bentley and his men were of the Sunday paper when the roar of the explosion sounded and the floors overhead swelled upward like the top of a balloon. The press room was immediately filled by a stifling cloud of smoke. Walls of flame blocked all the doorways and ventilators. Bentley said today that it seeed as if he and his men were doomed to die in the basement when one of the men remembered that a hole had been cut near the sidewalk for some temporary purpose. The press men made a rush for this means of. egress. They found 1t despite the rolling waves of smoke which blinded and almost suffocated them and one by one they crawled to safety. Less than ten feet away in the hallway of the burning building their less for tunate comrades of the linotype de- partment were dying in swirl of flames.
 Most of those who escaped by other exits and by jumping from windows were only slightly injured Several appeared today at the office of the Times to receive the congratulations of their fellow members of the staff Two or three were well enough to re- turn to work.

REMARKABLE ESCAPES.

Among the remarkable escapes chronicled since the explosion and fire were those of George w. Long and his crew of engravers. These men were on the sixth floor of the building. In the few seconds inter vening between the explosion and the envelopment of the building in flames, all of these men made their way to safety, while the linotype men and printers on the second floor were trapped and perished.
 Besides Long, the engraving crew consisted of Huber Bruce, Edward Ball, Harry Anderson and Charles Seebold. They all went to work to- night at the temporary plant of the Times. Only one of them, Ball, was injured and he had only a few slight bruises on one hand
