Many Are Injured And

Spezia, Italy.-The entire garrison Of
several hundred soldiers stationed at
Faiconara fort near here. in the gulf
OF Genoa, narrowly escaped death
Thursday. A bolt Of lightning struck
the fort and penetrated into the maya.
zines in which were stored 1900 tons OF
the most powerful explosives. So pow

upon which the fort stands was blown
away. Debris and fragrants OF the
bodies OF victims were scattered over

Physicians and Facistl from the sur

OF the peasantry hurried to the scene
OF the explosion as soon as they had
recovered from the panic which II had
caused. First observations revealed
no trace OF any survivors and reports
That the entire garrison had been kill

The first few hours OF rescue work
dispelled the theory. Seventy bodies
80 far have been recovered. Hun
dreds OF wounded are in the hospitals
and this leaves only a comparatively
small number unaccounted Tor.
Hospitals are being taxed to can.

the available military in this section
Is engaged in rescue work.
The explosion came while a heavy
storm was in progress. Some peas.
ants were in the fields trying to pro-
tect their crops from the violence of
the elements and It is from these
that the story Of the blast has been
obtained.
The lightning. they say, had been
particularly heavy in the vicinity OF
the elevated fortress and It's freak

an unusually sharp flash was noticed.
An instant later a blast shook the
country side for miles. 1t stunned the
watchers in the fields. When they dis.

they found that only scattered heap
OF earth smoking debris covered place
