.lMo IGNORED SIGNALS,
CAUSING EXPLOSION AT
HALIFAX, CAPTAIN SAYS

HALIFAX, Dec. 11.-Capt. Arme
Medic, commander OF the French mu-
nitions ship Mont Blanc, today put
at rest the rumors that enemy spies
were responsible for the explosion
in the harbor last week.
The captains explanation Is that
the limo disregarded signals, which
were flashed when the two vessels
were two miles or more apart.
Il was on the quarterback OF the
Mont Blanc with the pilot. Captain
Mackay, going up the harbor to Bed
ford basin, where was to anchor and
await convoy" said Captain Medic.
1T was q clear morning. The water
was smooth and we were at half
speed on the starboard side toward
the basin.
Relief Ship Appears.
There were no vessels in our
course until we sighted the Belgian
relief ship limo coming out of the
basin and headed for the Dartmouth
shore. She was more than two miles
away at the time.
I'VE signaled we would keep the
Mont Blanc on the starboard tack
going up the basin. We headed a
little more in shore so as to make
clear to the limo our purpose. She
signaled that she was coming down
on the port, which would bring her
on the same side with us.
I'VE were keeping to right OF board
according to pilotage rules. We kept
on our course, hoping that she would
come down on the starboard side,
which would keep her on the Halifax
side and us on the Dartmouth side.
Collision Follows.
ITO our surprise, the limo kept COM
ing down on the port side, so we sig
nailed again. We thought there was
danger OF a collision and signaled to
stop the engines, at the same time
veering slightly to port, brought the
vessels with starboards parallel when
about 5000 feet apart
THE limo cut into us about a third
through the deck and hold and the
benzine stored there poured into the
picric acid, igniting It. and causing a
cloud OF smoke to arise from the YES
sci forward. There was nothing We
could do. so boats were lowered and
the forty-one Of us on board rowed
for the Dartmouth shore"
