mond section eruopIed up and
collapsed burrying their tenants
In the main part of the city
where the buildings are chiefly Of
stone and concrete the damage
Was confined to the shatterine OF
windows and most of the casual
ties in this section were caused
by flying glass.
Houses Demolished.
In the west and northwest ends
the damage was more extensive
and there the walls of many houses
were blown to bits. It was In
Richmond, however, opposite the
scene Of the explosion, that most
havoc was created. Whole blocks
Of dwellings,, mostly Of frame con-
struction, were leveiled.
Fire Added Horror.
Street after street is in ruins
and the structures which were left
standing by the explosion were de-
stroyed by fires which broke out
simultaneously in score Of places
and which it was impossible to
check until they had burned them
selves out. It is believed scores
of persons who had been injured
by the collapse Of their homes,
persisted in the flames from which
they were helpless to flee The
fires in this district still are
smouldering tonight.
People in Panic
Five minutes after the explosion
the streets in all parts of Halifax
were filled with frenzied, panic
stricken thrones striving to reach
the outskirts in an effort to es
cape what they believed was
raid by German fleet. Hun
dreds Of them had been cut by
the shower Of glass which fol.
lowed the explosion.
Beyond Description.
In the Richmond section the
scenes enacted defied description.
Seriously injured men and women
crawled from the wreckaee Of
their homes and lay in the streets
until they were removed in ambu-
lances and automobiles to hos
pitaIs. Those less seriously hurt
aided those more graveIy in
jured. In the streets piled high
with debris were found the shat
tered bodies of many women and
children. Several children were
crushed to death when they were
hurled against telegraph poles by
the force Of the explosion.
Many Death Traps.
In scores Of cases occupants of
houses who had escaped without
injury or who were only slightly
hu.t we're baffted by the flames in
their search for members Of their
families and we're forced to stand
by impotcntIy while what once
had been their homes became fun
eral pyres for loved ones.
A government empIoye named
Macdonald, who made all speed to
reach his home after the explo-
sion. found that his wife and four
children had persisted. His two
year old daughter had been killed
