taken to Morristown hospital, Morris
town, N. j., and scores of others with
minor injuries were treated by physi-

The entire tow nof Mont Hope, a
few miles from the depot was re-
ported destroyed. and many injured
were found there. 1t was reported
that the town of Hibernia also had
been leveled.
The explosions were felt for 80
miles around the depot, and pieces of
steel and concrete, flaming timbers and
ashes fell miles away, starting many
fires.
Late tonight the fire in the navy
depot was reported by Capt. Q. c.
Dowling, U. S. N, commandant of the
depot, to have spread to Picatinny
arsenal, about a mile from the depot.
