" .4' f Twenty-Sine Men Were Instantly Killed All in the Turret Met Death Instantly. Captain William S. Cowlss VYas in Command. Penaacola, April l3.--An appalling catastrophe occurred on board the first class battleship Missouri here to day, when five charges of smokeless powder exploded, killing twenty-nine men and officers outright and injuring five more, two of whom will die. . The Missouri, in command of Capt, William S. Cowles, President Roose velt's brother-in-law, was at record target practice, together with the Texas and Brooklyn, and was firing her aft-12-inch guns. One string bad . been fired and three shots of the - second string had been fired when the explo sion occurred. The left gun was be ing loaded and one section of two hundred pounds of powder had been rammed home, and the second section of 200 pounds had cleared the hoisting car, when flames from' the previous shot Ignited the powder. Tbia charge exploded, and portions of it dropped below into the preparing room, where four charges were ready to be hoisted These also exploded. The second ex plosions - was the worst of the two, and every man with ' five exceptions in the turret room was killed.. ; The officers describe the cause of the explosion as a "blow-back," or in oth er words, the wind being from off shore, blew a ' portion of the flame from the muzzle baok into the breech where the charge wat being rammed home. This ignited the oharge. This the officers say, was guarded against with all possible precautions, and for several days no firing was done on account of the wrong direction of the wind.'' V t ' " ; ., A moment after the explosion fire quarters were sounded. Flames were then leaping from every portion of the turret. Streams of water were played upon the turret and into the room be low, but the fumes from the powder overcame the men so they could not force their way into the turret, but with ill -success until the smoke had blown out to some extent. !; ; It was only a miracle that the Mis souri, with her six hundred men, did not go to the bottom. The second ex plosion of four charges of powder oc curred within a few feet of a magazine containing thousands of pounds of high explosives. So great was the heat that the brass fittings of the magazine were melted and all the frame work was war ped'into amass of wreckage. Above, the ropes and tackle used in hoisting were burned to a crisp, while the 1m mense turret was blackened from the smoke and flames, and all small wood work was burned away,,. The ...breech of the gun was damaged, but with this exception the piece was not injured to attyrexteat, " : '. .
