his life in heroically rushing TO the

1t seemed to turn into ball of fire like

his ship was blown up He could assign
no cause for the disaster, but did not
credit the story relating by surviving

caused when workman stabbed a hook
into one of the dynamite cases. The
general theory of the cause is that there
was fire in the ships coal hunkers which
spread to the dynamite in tie hold.
British Consul Fraser, tonight, describ-
ed the Alum Chine as 269 feet long. with
a 40-foot beam. 1t was built at Cardiff
Wales, in 1905. Most of her crew were
from Cardiff.
For a radius of a score of miles the
shock of the explosion was felt. Reports
came early from many cities and towns
where windows were shattered and it
was at first rumored that disastrous
earthquake had done much damage at
Baltimore. Report also came from neigh
boring states and it was said that the
entire state of Delaware had felt the
shock. For q time it was feared that
