ON
A SUBMARINE
ONE MAN KNOWN To HAVE
BEEN KILLED AND OTHERS
FATALLY HURT.
CAUSE NOT KNOWN
While Thorough Investigation OF
Accident Has Not Been Made "a
u Feared Death Lost MAY
Go Higher.

NEW YORK. Jan. 15-An ex-
plosion in submarine E-2 in dry
dock in the Brooklfn navy yard this
afternoon resulted in the death of
at least one man. the fatal injury
of three others and the serious in
jury of nine more. Some estimates,
however, placed the number OF dead
as high as five.
The explosion is believed to have
been caused from a defective bat
terry. Rescuers found the interior
in flames after the blast. Several
rushed into the boat. dragging out
the injured. while others played
water on the fire.
Officials said that while only one
man was killed many others M hit
die as the result of burns. While
the work of rescue was in progress
navy yard officials said it was inn
possible to say whether the number
exceeded the one known dead All
the men brought out. were black
with smoke and CRIME. At first it
was impossible TO tell whether they
were badly hurt or only slightly
burned.
The E2 carried a crew of thirty
five men. Most of them were on
the submarine at the time of the
explosion. Repairs were being made
and the work was being done by
the crew.
As it began to appear that the
accident might be more serious than
at first reported the navy yard was
closed. At 2:45 officials of the yard
took a pessimistic view of the sit
uation. While they would still
make no definite statement as to
the number actually dead it seem
ed certain that those killed or those
who would succumb from injuries
would be higher than first estimat-
ed. Searchers who entered the sub
marine refused to make an esti-
mate. Others said the dead might
number five or six.
