NO ONE HURT IN ACCIDENT
Breech BLOCK Weighing Two Tons
Thrown Quarter of Mile.
NARROW ESCAPES FROM DEATH
Artilleryman Michael Brennan on
the Carriage as Piece Is Fired,
But Is Not Hurt.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December O. The gov.
ernment's new. 14-inch gun, which was
being tried OUT at the Sandy Hook
proving grounds this morning, exploded
and many officers and ordnance soldiers
on the Fort Hancock reservation had
narrow escapes from death. The big CUR
was practically blown to pieces. and frag.
ments Of it were thrown over a space OF
half a mile away by the force Of the ex-
plosion.
Breech Block Thrown Far.
The breech block. weighing two tons,
was thrown quarter Of mile, and a
piece of the gun weighing about SOC
pounds new over the new life-saving sta
tion half a. mile away
test had gone behind q bomD-proof shell
ter before the gun was fired. Michael
Brennan, an artiileryman, however, had
a miraculous escape from death. He was
standing on the gun carriage when the
great piece was fired, and although death.
dealing fragments flew all around he was
unscratched.
Brennan was thrown many yards. but
showed extraordinary nerve. He got
up and brushed himself off and started
to ascertain what damage was done.
The tremendous steel prOjectile was
hurled over the target. and ripped up
the beach for 100 yards when 1t struck
the sand. The muzzle of the gun. q
cylindrical section about ten feet long
and weighing many hundreds Of pounds,
landed on the railroad track, tearing
up the rails for twenty yards.
The big gun was pointed southwark
along the beach. 1t was a new type of
gun and was the only fourteen-inch gun
now at Fort Hancock. 1t had previously
been tested successfully about dozen
times.
Wives Come Running.
The news Of the explosion ran
through the reservation like wildfre,
and the wives and relatives Of the OFF,
GERS and enlisted men came running to
the scene. The accident happened about
II o'clock. One version of the cause
was that jacket Of the gun had pulled
apart during the pressure test.
The gun was to have been fired this
morning at a fourteen-inch armOr-plate
target located 800 yards away. What
the reason was for the bursting of the
gun none of the officers would venture
an opinion. 1t was said. however, that
the cold weather may have had some
thing TO do with causing the accident.
The shot which burst the gun was
the first one of the test which took
place on the proving grounds.
