as she was moving out of Erie
Basin, Brooklyn, today, killing
two men and injuring’ three.
Three others are missing.

The boat is owned by the Card

The blast in the boiler room
sent her tothe bottom.

The three men rescued were on
the deck at the time of the ex-
plosion. They were picked up by
rescuers who dived from other

tugs nearby. The rest of the crew
was below deck and it was be-
lieved certain that all were dead.
Two bodies were recovered.
Others aboard nearby tugs said
parts of bodies were hurled into
the air by the explosion. They
held out little hope for the recov-
ery of the bodies of the missing,
all of whom they believed dead.
