The first explosion of gasoline oc curred shortly before 9 o'clock yester day morning and employes of th< Valk & Murdoch Co., and the crew o the chaser fought the flames unti the Charleston fire department reach ed the scene. The fire seemed to bi under control when dames reache< a large tank containing more gaso line and this caused a second explo sion which shook the entire plant ani huried pieces of the vessel and mor than twenty men into the air. Seven teen were injured, the captain of th chaser having been injured when th first explosion occurred. All of th injured men were memers of the fir, department and a hurry call was sen to the Roper Hospital, which was re sponded to immediately. At the hospital it was said yester day afternoon that Chief Louis F Behrens, of the fire department seemed to have sustained the heavies shock from the explosion, he havinj remained in an unconscious conditioi for more than two hours after hi TFd ' MOOTHEST SMOKING TOBACCO 4 A pipe 'win' o in the iendship,4 an natur-. tural. obacco but oden hogs ess that sets rhat mellow- 1 hink of a good U lever harsh to o the big thing riendliness. lvet--begin $ p today. injuries had been caret; for. He vin not be confined for more than a few days provided there are no serious developments in his condition. Under the orders of General Mana ger C. V. Boykin of the Valk & M)r doch Co., a rope was niade fast to I the chaser by Mr. Lockwood and it was towed across the river to shallow water, south of Remley's Point where C it was abandoned. It continued to t burn for several hours and is con sidered to be a complete loss. C Aboard the chaser was considerable ammunition, but the majority of this was saved. The danger to shipping, standing close by, made it desirable K to get the vessel away from the ship yard and let it be destroyed rather than to endanger other vessels. The tug Henry Buck, Capt. Guilds, towed it across the river. Explosions Continue. For several hours after the chaser K was beached explosions continued. The explosions were probably causedK by the remnants of the ammunition aboard and by the explosion of a third gasoline tank. So long as Chief Behrens and Act- C ing Chief Wohlers are incapacitated for duty, Foreman J. H. Benedict, of engine No. 3, will act as chief of the E department. Assistant Chief A. J. My ers was inured several weeks ago when a wall fell on him at a water front fire. The fire department will be somewhat handicapped because so many men are in.ured, but the ma jority of these will probably be on duty m a few days. A naval investigating committee will probably meet today to consider the causes of the desrruction of the. vessel. The submarine chaser 58 was 4 practically new, having been con structed since the outbreak of the war and having been used in patrol duty. Of the men injured, thirteen are in the hosuital and the others at their homes. Two were treated at the hos pital and sent to their homes. Ensign Martin is at the naval hospital and is not seriously injured. YEGGMIEN AT SP'AR'ANBURG Charleston and Western Carolina Railway Safe Blown. Spartanburg, May 2.-The safe in t the freight office of the Charleston - and Western Carolina Railway in this city was last night blown open - and robbed of the sum of $45 in cash and about $900 in checks and several isurance policies belonging to John 1 Scruggs, local agent of the company. No trace of the robber or robbers has yet been found. It is believed that the job is that of an expert yeggman as all indica tions show that the work was neatly (lone. The robber entered through the rear of the depot some time during the night. The robbery was discover ei this morning by a memi4r of the city police force. The city and county authorities are on the trail of the guilty party or parties but thus far nothing has been found which would lead to their capture. 0 There is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years it was supposed to be incurable.
