LIGHTNING EXPLODES
OIL TANK IN NEW YORK
Much Damage Done to Property
in Bayonne, N J.-WOrkman
Narrowly Escapes Death

New York-The first thunderstorm
OF the year struck New York sudden
ly, causing large property damage.
Lightning set fire to an oil tank at
the Tidewater Oil Company's refinery,
Bayonne, N. j., and resulted in $780,
600 fire that may cripple the business
of the company for several weeks at
the busiest time of the year
The tank contained 1900 barrels of
gasoline, 1880 barrels just having
been pumped into the tanker Veedol
A gauger stepped down from atop the
tank a few minutes before it was
struck. Had the transfer taken a few
minutes longer he would have been
killed
An explosion tore off the top of the
tank and hurled it on top of another
containing 1000 barrels of gasoline
Both tanks caved in. The fire then
spread to two other tanks and to six
agitators used for mixing gasoline. A
network of pipe lines and pump
house and laboratory were destroyed.
Three hundred men fought the
flames, piping a chemical into the
tanks. Steam was sprayed into the
tanks from the top. The oil was
pumped out of the burning tanks and
other nearby tanks to keep the fire
from spreading.

plane, laden with liquor from Mon
treal, crashed on a farm near here
The rum-fying pilot escaped with mi

One hundred and fifty quarts of
Scotch were found in the ruins.
His escape led authorities here to
believe they are near the base OF the

airplanes are used to transport the

dry territory.
State troopers, notified Immediately
after the crash, spread through the
district in a fast-galloping search
without finding a trace of the missing
airman. They inquired at hospitals
and hotels in the belief the pilot
might have been injured in the wreck
Of his plane.
