Death in Fire
at Point Breeze
Continued from Tsie One
tended for tho length of n city square
along the eastern river front near Pass
yunk ovenue. As tho wind Increased In
volume, tho wall of fire bent over nt
right angjes, the entlro length of flame
resembling n mighty torch.
Flro Starts in Tanlier
? Tho flro began In tho hold of lhe
lanker nnd within a few minutes wasl
beyond control. Three alarms wero
struck In rapid succession and city fire
boats raced toward tho blaze.
Tongues cf flame nnd myriad sparks
fired tho docks nnd, spreading to tho
pipelines, soon had Jets of flro run
ning along tho ground some distance.
Within ftfty feet of the doomed tanker
wnH tho American tanker J, C OWcll,
loaded with oil and prepared to begin
n voyage. Firemen played powerful
streams on the dock to which the O'.Vell
was moored, while auxiliary strcami
were guided by the tanker's crew. The
O'.N'ell's hawsers were cast off nnd the
vessel began moving slowly out In the
stream Just ns a high linn of flames
swept down to the dock It was quitting.
It was reported that four of the
Swedish tanker's crew were badly burn
ed In the first efforts to check tho rap
Idly spreading flames.
About one block to tho east are scores
ot big tanks, most or tnem filled to
capacity. As red showers of sparks rode
on the high wind toward the enormous
drums, firemen, fighting desperately to
prevent a series of explosions, divided
their forces, one group centering Its at
tention on tho tanks.
Flame l.rnp IUkIi.
The burning oil sent columns ot Jet-
black smoke for hundreds of feet Into
Iho air. The wind forced tho smoke
clouds over tho lower part of the city.
For several miles the widespread
pillar of smoke over tho oil company's
plant could bn seen, with long, quivering
tongues of red and yellow flame leaping
about hi the murky clouds.
More than a scorn of seamen tn the
Amundsen's crew", their escape cut off
from the liuid side, leaped Into the cold
river. I'udrties ot hlazlng oil were float
Ihg all about them, and a number of tho
chilled and swimming men wero burned
about the face, neck and hands.
Hundreds of Iron barrels, filled with
oil, weio stacked In long regular rows,
several hundred feet from the docks.
Sparks "touched oft" one of the barrels
and It exploded, sending a shower of
sluapnel-llke fragments In all directions.
The fire spread to other barrels, which
likewise exploded with low. booming re
ports. As tho Jagged iron fragments flew to
ward all points of the compass, tlremen
were compelled to retreat momentarily.
I'atrol wagons, and in some cases fire
apparatus had to bo moved bad; hur
riedly. Spread tn Oil llarge
A half-hour after, the Amundsen
blazed up thn Danish tanker Copen
hagen was nflamo and the the fire had
spread to an oil barge. Meantime tho
O'N'ell had been moved safely to the
inlddln of the river and proceeded slowly
upstream.

barrels were peppered Willi bits of Iron

The spectacular tiro drew thousands
of people toward the company's ground.

crowds nf the curious.
Tim more venturesome who tenched
points that commanded a view of the
Inclosed ground saw hremiii and com
pany employes again nnd again forced
to run as guuts i.f flume swept down
on them. As soon as a gust had passed
or died down tho llremon jtfhed back
to their tasks nzntn.
