CRAFT GOES TO BOTTOM
Immense Fissures Opened in Her
Framework by the Force
of the Explosions.
Toulon, Prance, Sept. 26.—Fire
broke out in the ammunition hold of
the battleship Liberte, counted one of
the finest vessels in the French navy,
and the explosions which followed
wrecked the great ship and killed
more than half of her crew of 793 offlr
cers and men.
When the fire was discovered it did
not appear to be serious, but somehow
or other it gained a quick advantage
over the equad of sailors sent to ex
tinguish It, and suddenly, without
warning, it reached the magazines,
which had not been flooded on account
of the apparently trifling nature of
the blaze.
The force of the explosions was ter
rific. They shook the vessel fore and
aft, each one seemingly stronger than
that preceding, opening up great fis
sures in the armor and framework of
the vessel.
The vessel immediately became a
mass of Are and smoke and soon, al
most demolished by the terrific deto
nations, sank to the bottom of Toulon
harbor.
Scores Die in Their Berths.
Scores of the seamen died in their
berths. A few dozen saved themselves
by jumping overboard. Many of those
injured leaped into the water and
were drowned before boats from the
other ships in the roadstead could
reach them.
Two hundred of the crew escaped
death because they were ashore on
leave. Commander Jaures, a brother
of the Socialist deputy, was not on
board.
The carnage in the explosions was
worse than could ever have occurred
in an actual naval engagement. The
first crash came when the crew was
for the most part dispersed in various
sections of the vessel. They were
without warning of their danger,
Scores of bodies were hurled high in
the air, accompanied by great frag
ments of framework, armor, bursting
sheels and the blinding, suffocating
smoke of the powder.
Men below, who had not yet been
awakened, were killed as they slept.
Others, awakened by the explosion,
started ito jump overboard and were
caught by the second detonation.
Suffocated in Blinding Smoke.
.The crew was panic stricken and
rushed wildly about, groping through
the blinding smoke, in which many
(ell unconscious from suffocation.
There were many vessels in the har
bor, including a number of warships
which have been maneuvering here
since the first of the month. The ex
plosion brought a quick response from
the nearby men of war and from the
shore. Dozens of boats put off and
picked up survivors and floating
bodies.
There were three tremendous ex
plosions in quick succession after the
fire reached the magazines. One hun
dred men saved themselves by jump
ing and others would have escaped
but for the discipline which held them
at their posts.
At the first explosion the men below
suddenly awakened, tumbled from
their berths and, rushing to the sides
of the vessel, were throwing them
selves overboard when an order call
ing theip to their stations rang out and
held to their death those who had not
already escaped.
Many Vessels Lose Men.,
Nearly every vessel of the squadron
lost some men from the parties sent to
the aid. of the burning battleship. The
Verite was moored nearest, being
about 225 yards from the Liberte
Eight of the Verite's men were wound
ed by flying fragments blown from
the Liberte or by pieces of bursting
shells. The decks of the Verite wer~
crowded with men who were watchinr
Krgets
frightful spectacle and who were
for the falling debris.
The Liberte was broken in two by
the violence of the final explosion. She
sank in forty feet of water.
With the last convulsion pt the
mighty sea fighter, men and wreckage
Were tossed high in the air and a
shower of human limbs, bits of flesh,
articles of clothing, pieces of armor
plate and splinters of wood fell upon
the decks- of the Verite and upop the
wide cirde of ,the men or war and
•mail boats standing by.
The latest estimate of the dead Is
about 400.
