Baltimore. Md, March lefty
lives were lost and 100 were injured
Friday when nearly 800 tons of dyna-
hold OF the British steamer Alum
Chine. at anchor in the Patapaco
river near Hawkins Point exploded.
The property damage will amount to
fully $5,000,0OO
The explosive had been loaded into
the vessel to be taken to Panama to
be used In the construction of the
canal. A fire OF unknown origin
broke out on the vessel while the last
OF the explosive was being loaded.
1t spread with lightning rapidity to
the dynamite and when the explosion
occurred the vessel was blown into
bits and sent hurting in all directions
through the air.
Bits OF the steel sides OF the Alum
Chine we're blown with such force
that they tore their way through the
armored sides OF the collier Jason
nearly a mile away, killing four men
and injuring ten others aboard the
collier. The tug Atlantic OF the At
lantic Transport company caught fire
while rescuing some Of those on the
Inflated ship and was sunk. Other
damage was caused by the breaking
OF glass and wood work in dwellings
as far as several miles from the scene,
The greatest damage aside from the
absolute loss OF the Alum Chine was
to the collier Jason. This giant OF
its type had just been completed at
the Maryland Steel works and was at
anchor ready to start on its trial
trip. It's sides were battered by fly
Ing steel and 1t appeared to have been
in battle. It's interior was demol-
ished.
Thirteen bodies are at the morgue
and nine have been identified.
More than fifty OF the injured were
brought in TO Browns wharf and Spar
rows Point and taken to the hospitals
OF the city
The shock was felt as far away as
Reading, Pa, 100 miles from Balti-
more. 1t was recorded also at Allan
tic City. People at first thought an
earthquake had occurred. A school
house at Sparrow's Point. several miles
from the scene of the explosion, was
partly destroyed and several children
were hurt. Baltimore itself was sha-
ken as If by powerful trembling OF
the earth, and tail buildings In the
center of the city rocked perceptible.
Scores of vessels hurried to the
scene OF the disaster to render what
aid they could. The explosion was SO
powerful that pieces Of steel weighing
fifty pounds were hurled through the
air for distance Of four miles. Cases
of dynamite were thrown for a great
distance from the Chine and exploded
as they fell, adding to the damage and
destruction.
