THE WASHINGTON TIMES BRAVERY SHES VICTIMS OF OIL BLAST CHESTER. Pa., Feb. 5 (1.N.5.). While investigators scanned the hulk of the oil tanker Bidwell, which blew up at Marcus Hook early yesterday, the death toll to day was placed at 18, with one missing and a woman and three men battling for their lives in Chester Hospital. The boat was shattered by four terrific blasts i while lying at the Marcus Hook piers in the Delaware River. Sun Oil Company officials are at a loss to account for the cause. In an effort to solve the mystery surrounding the origin of the first blast, which ignited the ship and led to the other explo sions, a minute examination of the charred and warped debris of the steel vessel is taking place. Into the record of the oil com pany, however, was inserted a saga of heroism on the part of I the members of the crew of the ; ill-fated ship, many of whom braved death td rescue cortirades who had been disabled by the first blasts. Among the victims wa§ Capt. Joseph Rivers, who perished try ing to save his records.
