The bod- les of the victims were hurled through the air by a succession of explosions, and the panic stricken workmen at the arsenal fied from the vicluity of the dry dock for their lives, Scores of the men who were on board the Jena Jumped either overboard or ou to the stone quays and sustained serious lo.
