told newsmen to be sure to say ir
the papers that ne was not hurt
and doing fine. II don't want the
folks to worry" he said.
Many Asleep
Eugene P. Barnes, Of East
Prairie, Mo-, said he was in the
crew quarters at the time of the
blast and he and the others rush
ed forward to fight the raging fire.
He said about a third of the crew
were asleep at the time. "About
five o'clock this morning a ply
came over and dropped a life raft
containing medical supplies to &C
with the few we had" Barnes
said.
Stewart Faulkner remained con
stantly at the bunk-side of his
name-sake, administering as much
comfort as possible to the burned
sailor.
The bow of the ship was strewn
with masses of broken steel, wires,
twisted metal and the half-inch
plates were buckled "like a tin
can" The hole, just above the
water line was completely through
the bow of the welded vessel.
Dave B. Harris, Negro seaman,
of Dawson, Ca, said ne was scared
stiff. but gathered his wits and
fought the fire with all his
might"
One sailor said the ship was on
its way to Louisiana to take on a
cargo of high octane gasoline. He
said they had been ''butterworta-
ing" the vessel, and when asked
what he meant by that. he replied
that it was the method used tc
clean out the gasoline compart'
ments. 1t is done by washing Out
the compartments with a steam to
evaporate all the gas fumes. And
when it was reported that fumes
were escaping from the forward
compartment seven men went to
investigate, they had barely reach
ed the bow when the ship was
rocked by the blast, he said.
No Panic Aboard
There was no panic Whatso-
ever a member of the crew sale
"The old mar had everything I'm
der control and really handled the
situation WE'LL" another young
sailor remarked.
Reach Harbor
We remained aboard the Ben

for the Southport harbor. We were
met at the bar by a boat from the
Wilmington Cape Fear Pilots as

came aboard. He piloted
