The boat burned for more than an hour and the smouldering hulk settled down Just above the city wharfboat. Several bodies have already been recovered, but a number are missing. Of the inen rescued five were so seriously burned that they cannot recover. At a late hour this afternoon It Is thought the death list will not exceed ten.

As a result It had all steam on and was barely able to cut through the Ice floes. The explosion came Without warning, rending the whole structure of the boat, and hurling the crew ana wreckage Into the air. Moat of the crew were in their bunks at the time. Captain James R. Woodward was in the pilot kins. The following are among the seriously injured: Ira Ellis, second engineer; John Wilson, Robert Holland, John Francis. Pat Conley, Richard Conley.
