Story Of Crew.
Members OF the crew of the Belgian

1itions steamer Mont Blanc was to
blame for thc( collision which caused
the terrible explosion. Employees Of
Nic!1ford and Black, agents of the
Jmo, who have been providing the
crew with clothes and other comforts.
made public today the stories told
According to the account of the
men Of the limo they were entirely I'M
aware of the nature of the cargo on
the Mont Blanc. Their version of the
tragedy follows:
THE limo was proceeding dow1 the
harOor toward the sea when the
Mont Blanc was seen coming toward
the limo apparently steaming for the

narrows. She blew two blasts of the
whistle, indicating she was going to
starboard. The limo replied with two
blasts. The Mont Blanc turned and
tho crew Of the limo thought that
they could pass in safety but the dis
lance between the two vessels was too
short and the Imo rammed the Mont
Blanc on the starbOard side.
Neither vessel appeared to be Sc

headed for one Of the ii" piers. The
limo went on, the shippers intention i
being, the crew believe, to get into |
shallow water in order to find out |
exactly what damage had been done |
to his ship.
The seainen received their first |
warning of danger when they saw
chemical flames leaping from the
decks of the Mont Blanc. Then came
the explosion. The limo was caught
in the tidal wave and riding on it's
crest was hHrlcd on the rocky beach.
The sailors declared no attempt was
made to leave the ship until she
struck and that every man was in his
place.
The captain was standing on the
bridge and his head was blown off
The wheelSman was at his post and
his body VA found in that position
when the steamer was examined later
The body of the pilot, William Hayes
was found along the shore near the
hulk and it is thought he was blown
from the deck. Every man above
deck was killed.
When the vessel struck the beach
The survivors rushed Up from be-
heath decks and scrambled ashore.

ief parties found them wandering ,
