the yacht, Messrs. T,eo Oreentree, the ;
owner, E. D, Johnson and J. B.
Chapin leaped from the boat Into the
water, and escaped Injury.
The yacht now lies at the bottom of ;
the James river, a charred hulk of'
Its former trim self, The cause of the
explosion and consequent conflagra
tion Is unknown.
The party of four started down the j
river early Sunday morning towing
a small gasoline launoh. and intending
to take a cruise of several hours. Just
below the Cedar Works there was
trouble with the engine, and the party
cast anchor In order to effect repairs.
In some Inexplicable manner, a
spark got Into the commutator, ignit
ing the gas. The next Instant there
was a deafening explosion. A sheet
of flames swept over the boat, and
Mr. Blaska, who had been bending
over the engine, was terribly burned
about the neck, arms and shouldera 1
Half eraxed with pain he leaped over
board and began swimming toward
the shore. Mr. Johnson also leaped
overboard, diving through a forward j
porthole.
Messrs. Oreentree and Chapin re- i
malned on deck, attempting to fight !
the flames until the latter became so
fierce as to force them too Into the i
water. As Mr. Oreentree Jumped he •
caught hold of the line fastened to j
the little launch, and boarding the
latter craft, started the engine and;
went to the rescue of his companions
w ho were struggling in the river. All )
three were picked up by Mr. Qreen- i
tree and the four, ignoring the lm- ,
minent danger of a second explosion ;
should the flames Ignite the gasoline
tank, fought the blare valiantly but j
hopelessly until the yacht sank be
neath the surface.
By this time Mr. Basha was in such
agony from his burns as to cause
serious apprehension on the part of
his companions. He was hurried to
shore where I>r. Harschbarger was
summoned by telephone snd gave first
aid treatment. The Injured man was
then removed to his home where he
Is now confined.
