MANY LIVES LOST AT
STEAMSHIP LAUNCHING
Almost $50 Persons Hurled Into
Delaware River at Harri-
man., Pa, Yards.

Bristol, Pa.-From ten to forty per.
sons were killed or drowned when
q temporary scaffolding extending
around the stern of a boat on the
ways in the Merchant shipyard, ;t
Hartman, near here, collapsed while
nearly $50 persons were standing or
it to view the launching of the freight
er Waukau. Twenty-Five injured were
taken to the Hartman Hospital.
Thousands had assembled to see the
launching. Eyewitnesses of the acct
dent say the scaffolding seemed to
turn over, precipitating its occupants
into twenty-five feet of water. The
accident! happened four minutes be-
fore the launching was scheduled to
take place.
The scene of the accident was No
6 Hull, adjoining the ways where the
Waukau was to be launched. Driven
from other points of vantage by the
guards, workmen and spectators
crowded into a plank. walk about five
feet in width and extending around
the stern of the Hull. This scaffolo
was erected to permit the wOrkmen tc
pass around the stern without having
to return to shore each time they
passed from one side of the boat to
another.
While Workmen were saving the
keypiece on the Waukau the scaffold'
ing gave way and those standing on II
were thrown into the Delaware. An
instant later the keypiece parted and
the big Hull slid down the ways, the
suction, it is feared, drawing some OF
the victims down to the bottom Of the
river. Every available craft, including
the tugs which were on hand to make
fast to the Waukau, rushed to the
scene Some of. the victims, practical
ly all of whom were men, managed to
grasp the scaffolding and were pulled
to safety.
A sailor in the crowd Of spectators
jumped overheard and pulled two
drowning men ashore. Within a few
minutes all who were still on the sur
face were safe and were taken to the
hospital in vehicles Of all sorts.
General Superintendent w. T. vii.
son of the Merchants Shipbuilding
Corporation issued this statement:
"The many workmen were not sup
posed to be on the wooden patrol walk
which collapsed. The walk is used
only for the guards on duty and the
workmen when they walk from one
Of the ways to the other. The walk
was oyercrowded.
-Four dead and twenty-nine alive
have been taken out up to this time,
and the divers and men in boats are
continuing the search for bodies"
