 The explosion occurred in No. 8 hole and was a terrific force. shak- ing the vessel from stem to stern. Those of the crew who were forward at the time were fairly stunned by the shock. and two sailors were hurl ed bodily into the air. Flames fol. lowed quickly. and for two days and two nights the crew battled heroical. ly to save the ship which Erich Muenter, then known as Frank Holt, had boasted he would send to the bot. tom. For there is no doubt in the minds of the officers that Muenter. or eonfederates, were responsible for the outrage which, well-timed occurred at 4:15 o'clock on the afternoon of the date upon which the dynamiter pre-. dieted that some vessel. of the name of. which he appeared uncertain, would be destroyed.
 Muenter's plans were frustrated by the fact that his weapon of destrue, tion was placed with miscellaneous freight forward, and so was seperat, ed by stout bulkheads from an enor. nous cargo of ammunition, which. with other infammable munitions Of war intended for the Allies, filled the after holds
 While the sailors fought the fire Captain Claret headed his ship for Halifax and brought her safely through a southwester1y gale and thick fog to an anchorage in the lower harbor here. By that time the flames had eaten their way through No. 3 hold and into No hold, but it was announced that the yhad been extinguished.

since year ago when MS wire led
in a Clean Up and Paint Up" cam
paign which practically regenerated
the town. The good woman repaired
and painted piece of vacant prop
crty belonging to her husband, prop
erty that had been drain on his purse
for ten years. She had to fix the
place up, she said, because she was
preaching "Clean Up, Paint Up, Re-
pair" to others, and she believed in
practicing what she preached. After
criticising his wife for her public ac-
tivity, and especially for spending real
money on that old shack" the hus
band was sorely chagrined one day
to receive an offer of $500 more for
the property than his former valua-
ton. He made the sale, and shut UP.
This year he is the heaviest contrib
utor to that local "Clean Up and Paint
UP" campaign fund.
