LONDON. Jan. 3.-Gigsntic op-

TUeIUe Dead
In Explosion
on Oil Tanker

NEW YORK. Jan. 3.-One man is
dead and eleven others are known TO
be missing as a result of an explosion
that wrecked the engine room of the
Norwegian oil tank steamer Aztec at
a Brooklyn dock today. The dead man
was fireman on the vessel and five
of the missing men were members or
the crew. The other six were en-
ployed on the dock. Seven were IN
jured. three OF them seriously.
Most of the men were trapped be-
low the decks. and those who were not
instantly killed probably were
drowned by the water that flooded the
engine room through a great hole
blown in the side of the vessel.
The Aztec had just left a dry dock
and the cause of the explosion is un-
known. although IL is believed TO have
been caused BY the bursting of a tank
OF 10000 cubic feet of gas that was
used in connection with the oil fuel
for the engines.
For several hours after the explo-
sion occurred city firemen worked des-
perately but futilely to recover the
bodies of the victims. As il was al
most certain that those below at the
time could not have escaped with their
lives. IL was finally decided TO pump
the ship dry before renewing attempts
to reach the bodies.
Injured Rescued.
Most OF the injured were rescued
by Captain A. F. Bennett Of the tug
DalZeline. which was steaming down
the river near the dock at the time
Of the explosion. Captain Bennett
said he saw the body Of a man hurled
into the air. followed by a flame that
shot fifty feet high and which was ac-
cOmpanied by a terrific explosion. The
body fell into the river and sank i'm
mediatelv. Captain Bennett at once
ordered the Dalzeline under the stern
of the Aztec and took off eight of the
crew. all badly injured.
