out OF their cots. falling on top Of each

hours. Scores Of immigrants were
stricken unconscious. and some OF tbc
hospital patients tonight were re-
ported to be in Il precarious condition
The damage done on the island is
estimated at 100000. the immigration
building suffering most. The big five
story structure WAS shaken from lis
foundation TO tho roof, and every win
dow was smashed. To the immfcrunts
ii seemed that the building had been
lifted out of its foundatio and croppcd
back again. While women and chill
drcn ran about like mad, shriekinr
and wrinGinG their hands. the men, too
stunned TO scream, lay wide-cycd
wherever the original blast had hurled
them.

when the barge exploded, hurlinE most
