The bodies of the victims were hurled through the air by a succession of explosions, and panicstrieken workmen at the arsenal fled for their lives from the vicinity of the drydock. Scores on board the lena jumped overboard onto the stone quays and sustained serious injuries. The primary cause of the accident was the explosion of a torpedo. What caused the explosion is not known, but the powder magazines of the lena were set on tire, and the resulting explosions practically destroyed what was considered one of the best vessels in the French navy.
