SURVIVORS TELL STARTLING TALES
Wounded Marine SWiIlS Half
 Mile on Rescue Mission

Passaic, N. J., July 12 OP-The story of a wounded marine corporal swimming half a mile across Lake Denmark and rowing back to rescue half dozen comrades who had sought shelter in a small cave fol- lowing the first devastating explo- sions at the naval arsenal near De- yer Saturday, was told here today by survivor
 Corporal of Marines Thomas Null larkey, who at the time of the first explosions was acting sergeant of the guards, sai that after the order to flee had been given, he and a group of other marines. some of them injured, ran 10 the edge of Lake Denmark, where they found temporary protection from the flying shells and debris in a small cave.
 Then Corporal Marvin Lewis, though wounded. volunteered 10 swim across the lake 10 get a boat. He accomplished the feat and the marines rowed back across the lake and fled from the danger zone.
 Corporal Mullarkey told how one marine. who with 25 others, re- sponded 10 the fire call. had shouted, when he regained hjs feet after the first blast, mark five,' the signal indicating a direct hit at target practice. He returned today 10 the scene Of the disaster with Private William Goss, at whose home he was staying here.
 Mullarkey said he was acting ser geant of the guard at the time and he joined the party of 25 with hose cart.
 As they neared the burning build ing. they were met by the first blast. ,Th'y were thrown high into the air and in every direction, he said, and Of the 25 a dozen arose and again manned the hose cart. They ad- vanced q few feet when the second blast occurred and the order was given to abandon the post.
 He said he last saw naval I.ieuten- ant II. C. Schrader, one of the miss ing, heading toward a magazine in an automobile with several others.
 Nullarkey did not know how many Of those rendered unconscious by the first explosion made their escape.

The investigation of the typhoid fever problem in Wostwood park is being carried forward by the state sanitary engineers and 6 report is expected within a few days. The samples of water taken of the cess pools in the district and from Wat kins' swimming pond are being analysed and an investigation is be- ing made of the milk supply in the hope of running the disease to it's source and eliminating its recur- renee.
 A questionable case of typhoid has been reported from the section over the week end. and if this is found to be positive it will be the fourth.
 Jacob Lipeiko. owner of Watkins swimming pool, today denied that his pool was contaminated. He stated that no sewers empty into fl and claimed that the one brook flowing into if is too far from West wood park to be affected. Every pre- caution is taken, he said, and he claims that his pool is absolutely free Of contamination.
