Complete shells were being dug up
in the meadows and were sold to eager
souvenir hunters if the finder could
slip them past the police lines. The
biggest objection to carrying them
away is the fact that they contain
several pounds of tri-nitro-toluol, ia
miliarly known as T. n, Z. and may
easily cause considerable excitement
by going off some day while ~peaceably
decorating a m~antlepiece. The shells
failed to explode because the time
fuses and decorators are not put on
them until they are on the battlefield
in Russia and they know just how
much time they will take to reach the
Germans.
The city OF KiRgsIand was saved
from any big disaster as a result of
the accident by the fact that the plant
was located against a steep bluff, back
of which the city lay. Any shell that
went high enough to go far Over the
bluff had to go nearly at a 500 angle,
and so could not travel far horizontal
ly. The houses that were injured or
wrecked were all within two blocks of
the trouble. In the other direction the
shells went over a mile across the
meadows, but since these are swamps
there was no one there to be injured.
Among the amusing things was the
lie that stopped a panic in an insane
asylum three miles away. One of the
