WAS LARGEST CASOMETER
Hamburg, Dec. ?<. ? The cxplosionl
of two gas tanks in the. so-called
Kieines Qrasbrook, on the- Elbe front J
this afternoon, was followed by an.
extensive fire and tho-U^ss- of many j
lives.
The explosion was due to a l?ak in
a new gasometer. Escaping gas en- 1
tered the retort house, where it came
In contact -with the fires, causing a;
terrific explosion. A large number
of workmen were cngage'd in rebulld
Trig and enlarging the -plant. Twen
(ty-flve of the men were employed
"near the gasometer. They disappear
ed In a mass of flames which shot up
to a great height.
- Firemen with apparatus appeared
quickly on the scene, but they were
unable to approach, in a large fofce,
owing to the Isolated situation of the
establishment.
Up"to a late hour tonight ten men
are reported deadend 17 missing. It
is almost certain thai all of those are
deac). Forty men were dangerously
injured, of whom' several cannot re
cover.
The fire gained rapid headway and
threatened the old gasometer, con
taining 50,000 cubic metres. So in
tense was thtf- heat and ho dangerous
their position the flreihen were com-,
polled to withdraw to a safe distance.
A terrifying, explosion Boon occurred
and the tower became a mass of
flaiues, which leaped hundreds of
feiST In "the afr, 's?hT fragments of
glowlug coke far 'and wide over the
_ .city and harbor.
* ~ After strenuouJr efforts theflre was
got under, control and the rescue
work was carried on vigorously.
There Is little hope of finding the
bodies of the missing, .if- they have
lieen "Rtlteri, as they would undoubt*
edlv brave beeu incinerated. 'T~
The new gasolncter which explod
er!. was- the largest in the world, hav
