When tho fcrryboat Perth Amboy

were refugees from near the plant.
They carried their baggage with them

Early in the morning, when the big
magazine was blown up, the nuns in
charge of the children at the Mission of
the Immaculate Virgin took their 1900

arrived. Inside. behind the barbcd
wire. frantic men were rushing about
IN an effort TO escape. Some nursed
injuries and although i'll great pain
did not care to wait near the scene of
horror to have them dressed. Lighted
by the huge flames, clouds of smoke
rolled up with a ycllowish unearthly
appearance hanging like canopy over
the bark of artillery feeling for range,
the shells exploded.
Oren Dwellings, to Refugees.
During the night none slept in Perth
Amboy. The people were in the streets
and we're forced off the sidewalks by
the Home Guard. AS the refugees
streamed out of South Amboy. Lieu
tenant Burkitt, of the Coast Guard,
sent guard to preevnt any looting in
the deserted distict. The hotels were
crowded and most of the unchanged
dwellings, were thrown open to the
refugees.
About o'clock yesterday morning a
magazine of TINT was struck by a
falling she'll and exploded with roar.
The flash of the explosion could be
seen in Perth Amboy long before the
cOncussion was felt, and as the police
meut to the westward observed the
explosions they passed the warning
along 10 the people All were ordered
to stand in the middle oft he street.
About this time Miss Bessie Sutliff,

them.
The explosion at 2 o'clock started
another series of explosions that
sounded like drum fire. These were
csused by 100000 shells for 75's which
were ready to be shipped tot he port
Of embarkation. The shells did not
contain "boosters,' which cause the
explosion, or the entire section would
have been wiped out. This drum fire
continued for twelve hours.
Daylight Brings New Terror
With the coming Of day the feeling
OF alarm increased rather than dimin-
lShed, Tor the explosions seemed to
be getting more dangerous. The pee
pie. in the street looked for the dawn
to bring relief. They turned their at
tention from the flaming inferno in
the west to see the sun rise. Their
hopes were shattered by the terrify-
ing concussions that followed daybreak
and left them with more shell shock
patients to be attended to.
Early IN the morning more refugees
arrived, some in automobiles and
wagons. Those who owned taxis
reaped a harvest, for men and women
stopped them at every turn and Of
fered any amount demanded by the
drivers to be taken out to safety. Most
haclmen demanded big bonus for en-

About 6 o'clock, in answer to an
emergency call. ambulances CT the
Motor Corps of America drove into
ruined South Amboy and took one hun

damaged by shell fire that it could not

"Who's going to help me yank those

With the paint blistering, and men on

to the engine and drawn to safer quar-
tiers. A few minutes later the fire

none of the patients received further

Hit While Praying in Church
After dawn, when Northern Jersey
was being rocked by explosion after ex-
plosion and the ruined and devastated
district Of South ANYBODY conveyed the
idea to some of the foreign born that
they could not escape, scores of them
retired to the little frame Catholic
church to pray. While they were thus
engaged heavy explosion blew the
roof OFT the structure, and panic fol-
lowed. None was injured and all made
their way to Perth Amboy.
Shortly after 9 O'Clock Mr.. Yates,
vice president Of the Gillespie concern,
announced that he believed the big dan
ger passed. Mr.. Yates said that the
magazine of high explosives had not
been touched and that they were safely
buried in the bank of the Chees Quake
Greek, which runs through the plant.
There was much speculation as to
the number of dead and injured. but
no one with any authority would even
from the plant say that there was a
considerable loss of life. They also
said that there were fragments of hu-
man bodies strewn all about the load
ing plant.
Men Perish in Hospital
It is known that shortly before the
big INT magazine exploded there wers
six or seven men in the emergency
hospital on the grounds who were too
badly. injured to be moved. 1t is
thought they persisted.
Every window for miles around was
blasted out by the various explosions.
Early in the morning volunteer work
ers assisted the city authorities in re-
moving the tons of glass from the
Perth Amboy streets.
Joseph Richard, government in
spector, who was working in Building
81, with fifty other men, who were
filling -millimetre shells when the

Cane Is Mark of HIoh Office.

1t has been the custom Of the sur
geon of the king of England to carry
n "gold-headed cane" This cane has
been handed down to the various in
cumbents of the office since the days
of DR.. John Radcliffe, who was the
first "holder of the cane" 1t has been
used for 200 years or more by the
greatest physicians and rye in
the world, who succeeded t. it. The
"gOld-headed cane" was adorned by a
~cross-bar at the top instead of a knob.
The fact is explained by Munk, In
that Radcliffe, the first owner, was a
rule unto himself, and probably pre-
ferred this device as a mark of dis
tinction from the knob used by ply
siclans in general.
