GALVESTON, Tex, April H.
Three Of the six surviving crew
members of the French freighter
Grandcamp in a hospital here last
night told how they fought to sub
due the blaze before the ship ex-
ploded, setting off the chain of
explosions which wrecked Texas
City.
Contrary to reports that guam
/ tity Of black powder on the Grand
camp caused the explosion which
spread through the thriving indus
trial section, Morris lie Brozec, So
lyear-old seaman who worked in the
engine room, said the fire originated
In hold No. 4.
The hold was partly filled with
the fertilizer Tuesday and the hatch
was closed for the night, LIE Brozec,
the only English-speaking member
of the group, said.
Wednesday morning when the
| stevedoring crew reported for work
the hold was opened by Julien
Gueril, the ships carpenter, who is
occupying one of the cots in the
crews ward at st. Mary's Infirm-
Iary here.
IT saw a little smoke rising from
the fertilizer when I opened the
hatch," Gueril said. "I picked up
a fire extinguisher and started
spraying the cargo.
When the smoke started coming
out bigger I closed the hatch and
turned on steam In the compart-
tment. The fire kept burning Until
| 1t made enough pressufs to blow of
the cover"
Pieces Of the ship, weighing hum
dreds of pounds, were blown 1000
feet in the air and some large blocks
of metal landed in the business dis
trict a mile from the ship.
The crew members saia- the fire
evidently started when the hatch
was first opened at 8 am.
lie Brozec said the ships captain
was on the dock making a telephone
call when the fire started. The
first mate, man named Mazarguil,
ordered the ship abandoned about
$3.50. The crew. except the surviv-
ing members, joined the stevedoring
crew on the dock.
Three of the survivors went to a
nearby refreshment stand, while
three others started walking through
the plant to the home Of a friend.
The explosion collapsed the stand
on the crewmen and the operator.
The sailors struggled loose after the
blast, but the operator was dead.
"The explosion was many times
worse than W. bomb" said Guy
Saucey, who fought with the Free
French during World War II.
"Our ears were bleeding and we
were covered with oil and dirt" he
added. I'VE walked around in a
daze until some one took US to the
hospital"
Each of the six survivors suffered
similar injuries. They are being OBJ
served for possible fractured skulls,
their hands and feet are swollen and
they suffered severe cuts on their
| bodies.
The crewnen said the ships cargo
consisted of sisa1 from Havana, cot
ton and peanuts from Houston and
the fertilizer from Texas City. The
ship was scheduled to sail for France
Evening star., 1947-04-18

today to investigate the explosion
on the Grandcamp. It consists of
Rear Admiral G. r. Finlay, New
Orleans, chairman; Capt. Joseph A.
Kerrins, Washington, and 1t.
Comdr. H. F.. Cobb Of Galveston.
William T. Butler, Washington, is
technical adviser.
After the lower part of town had
been evacuated last night, Col. Gar
rison telegraphed Gov. Jester that
further evacuation was not neces-
sary.
Memorial services for all of the
dead will be held tomorrow at pm.
on the football field, with the city's
Ministerial Alliance conducting the
service.
