STORM DRIVES VESSELS TOGETHER
COncu>>ion Kills Hundreds and ln- iuries Thousands of TerA,n-
 Gar, TllrDwn from Track

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia. Dec g.
 Several hundred persons were killed and thousands W,rc wounded when q munitions ship at anchor in the har- Dor today exploded. during a fierce gale of wind. Half the city is in ruins and the wounded are filling every building left standing So terrific was the blast that freight cars on sidings two miles away were picked up and tossed about like chips, and the in- suiatiOn of every telegraph instrn- was ruined and the instruments ren- d"rcd useless.
 The explosion occurred when a Am crican ammunition ship which had ieen lying at anchor in tine bay near Rockingham. preparatory to sailing for Europe. collided with another vessel which dragged her anchor and drfted down upon her in the midst of a fierce gale which swept in from the Atlantic ocean. When the two yes sels came together. according to eye witnesses there was a tremendous eX plOsiOn. which instantly dstrOyed the vessels and their crews, not trace being left Every building on the wat CT front was OverthrOwn. and the roar of falling houses and the screams of the injured could be heard above the bowling of the winter gale.
 Relief was sent from Amherst and Dartmouth to the stricken city, and thousands of wounded are being con vcyed to other towns where they can receive medical attention. All busi ness is at standstill in the province and all available men are being used to search the ruins for dead and wounded before the extremely cold weather proves fatal to those fasten- ed in the wreckage.
 When the crew of the munitions vessel saw they were about to be ram med by the approaching vessel many of them leaped overheard. but the ex- pl6sion threw a tidal wave twenty feet high across the bay drowning many unconscious men who were hurled into the water by the shock.
