Horrors or An Raid Possessed
People; 1error-Shicken Crowd
Herded Away From Fires; Many
Big Buildings Torn To Pieces

Halifax. N. s., Dec. THE horrors
OF an air raid possessed the minds Of
many when the explosion on the
Mont Blanc shook the fortress town
to Its very foundations today. There
were three distinct shockA. First q
comparatively light rumble like a
seismic disturbance startled the city.
"A moment litter q terrific blast made
even the citadel quake. Then a crash
of glass throughout a wide area. COM
pleted the confusion.
Thousands of persons rushing into
the open saw a thick gray smoke
hanging over the north end of the
city, That strengthened their convic-
ton Of IN attack from the air. It
was feared that other explosions
would follow and, as far as possible,
the frightened ones were herded in
the southern part Of theAGity. Great
crbwds assembled in open iota and
remained there for hours Until they
believed an danger was passed:
Systematic efforts were being made
great difficulty was encountered as
numbers who were killed had suffer-
ed injuries which made recognition
Notwithstanding the prompt and
generous succor from nearby places
there was much suffering among the
last night. The tempera-
ture while not low for this district,
held below freezing.
Many Of the fires were caused by
overturned stoves and these generally
We're in wooden frame houses.

The steamship Ioma which appear
ed to have escaped seriouA damage,
wa beached after the collision as she.
too. caught hre and seemed for a
while in danger Of destruction. Her
crew escaped.
"A large Canadian steamer, moored
at the north end, was torn from her
hawsers by the conclusion and set
drifting in midstream.
Among the notable structures
wrecked was st. Joseph's church and
the school building adjoining. The
immense cottontfactory in that dis
trict also was demolished.
The search among the ruins for
bodies continued last night under q
great handicap as a large part Of the
city vas in darkness save for torches
and lanterns. y
Fear Of food shortage is entertained
by some, though encouragement is
found in the word that train loads of
provisions are already onthe way here
from several points. The immediate
feeding Of homeless ones amid the
confusion remains, however. a serious
, problem. Everything possible is be-
ing done to systematic the distribu-
ton Of food as we'll as of clothing
and bedding
A second outlet for news of the dis
aster was established after several
hours of emergency york late today.
After the restoration Of one telegraph
wire, the cable line to New England
coast was repaired and this news lie
so going forward.
