War Ship Disaster.

BIG- GUN BURSTS AND KILLS ELEVEN MEN

H.M battleship Mars steamed into< Cork Harbour at half-past five o'clock on Tuesday morning, April 15ub, with her £Uga a* half-mast. It was evident that some mishap had occurred on board, but several hours elapsed before it became known thab a terrible ex plosion had taken place, resu'tin? in the loss of 11 lives and serious injury to several officer* and men. A PERSONAL NARRA.TIVR One of the sailors of tho Mara thus described the accident :--The fore tur ret gun mia fired, and a second (ffort waa mad© to fire it, with thes*ua.ft reittlt After a brief interval the bre eh of the gQD waa opened, and instantly a terrific explosion occurred, which wrought awful havoc among the officers and men in tho turret. It is stated thab oue man was actu ally blown out of tho door of the turret into the sea, hut his reaniua were picked up. Several of the killed were shockingly mutilated, and two are said to ha?© been rendered hopelessly bliud, if they recover from their injuries. Bills Graham Collin", au able aeaunn, lived some time after the accident, and endured great suffering. Midshipman (Jeoirey F Cowlard and Albert Stead way, able seamen, are in a precarious condition at the Haulbowliae Hospital. Qaeenstown, where the injured are re eeiviag every care. Although the official list gives the names of only seven injured, it is stated that a number of other men received minor injuries. Seventeen men in all were landed from the Mars for treatment at the Haul bowline Hospital.

CAUiE OF ACCIDENT. The following account of the terrible tcene is supplied by officers and men of the ship: -We had made a fair pas sage fromParrol, which waa left by the whole Channel Sqaadron on the llth inst. We were engaged in target practice on Monday afternoon when about 45 miles south-west of the Fast net. The sea was smooth, and the two 12 inch guns in the fore barbette hid fired several rounds with satisfactory resalte, when a lamentable accident occurred, resulting in the death of Lieutenants Bourne and Miller and of nine of the lixteen men who were with them at the time in the b*rbette. Toe remainder of the mm were all more or less injured. The gun which caused the accident was the port one, and it occurred this way. It bad missed fire, as had the starboard gun a short time before, when, after an interval of about five minutes, orders were giver> to open the breech and examine tha cartridge to see what was wrong. This work was being carried out by the men when the cartridge exploded with terrific force and shocking effect, and killed £ye men on the spot. Chief Petty Officers Humphreys and George Hop kins wore

BLOWN THROUGH THE MANHOLE up into the air, and nothing of thera could be f?und afterward?; Three of the men received such shocking injuries that they died soon after the explosion, and the eleventh man, named Collins, died an hour after the Mara reached Queenatown. Captain Barry,4*ho was on the bridge at th* time, was one of the first to enter the death chamber. A horrible eight w*s-, witnessed, too ghastly to think of de scribing. The ni uined and dead wore lying around on all sides of the bar bette, and the gro^m of dying and injared m^n were awful to' hear. Captain Birry had the injured man fi sfc looked to, and they were tenderly carri-d away.rmny'of them in quite an insensible coniHon, fo tha sick bay. Sixteen men of lv-e eighteen in the barbette were accounted for, but two, named Humphreys and Hopkins, were roisainp. Tfc subsequently transpired th«-y were blown through the manhole and never h«ard of or seen afterwards. An examination of the port gaa die closed that the breech block was damaged, bnt the projectile remained unmoved into position in the gun. The fittings about the barbette have been shattered, and the rammar room is wrecked. The damage in tha turret is rnorfi noticeable to the rear of the gu^, which gops to prove when a cordite cartridge explodes its direction is backwards from the breech. This is Co y firmed, too, by the fact that those who were killed outright were standing about the breech.

DYSPEPSIA 1 IN CHRISTCHURCH. Proofs:—EYiderxe on Record. ' The Case of Mrs. S. FOX. \ (By a Special Reporter.) j Any Britisher visiting Christchurch I must be reminded of his native country I by tho many resemblances to English j scenery which are met with on every J hand. The clear waters of the Avon I running through the city, with, low, eld-1 fashioned bridges spanning across the river, the banks of which are studded with beautiful weeping willows, cannot but bring back memories of similar sights witnessed in the old country. After a few minutes conversation on the above subject with Mrs. Susan Fox, of Thackeray-street, Sydenham, our re porter remarked that he came to inquire about that lady's health. "You mean, I suppose, about my re cent ill-health," replied Mrs. Fox. "Yes, my health gave way completely, though what was the cause of it I could i not make out for a long time. At first there was no pain at all, only a sense of weariness and fatigue, tip to this junc ture I had been strong and wiry, and did not know what a day's sickness was. Consequently, I became anxious when I found myself growing weaker and thin ner every day. My appetite was poor, and although I took care to get as much fresh air as possible, it did not make any difference in regard to promoting a desire to eat. I resolved not to give way without making a struggle, so I often forced a little food down against my inclination, and then came the pain in my stomach, which I shall never for get. Shortly afterwards a weighty feel ing in the chest appeared, making .it hard to catch my breath. Intense cut ting pains came between my shoulders, and went right down to the lower ribs. The agony was so great that I could not sleep, and after spending nights of wakefulness, I was in a chronic state of exhaustion. A feeling of listlessness was upon me the whole day, and I neglected 1 my usual duties. I suffered very much with my head, which was full of dread ful aches. Every morning, and, in fact, all day long, there was a foul taste in my mouth, and a sickly bile often rose to my throat. "When I took a short walk'l soon felt giddy and faint. This I will tell you how weak I got. For a< person like myself, who had always led an active and industrious life, it was simply awful to be in such a helpless condition. I could not even enjoy the pleasure of reading, as my eyes were dim and felt swollen."



"You were in an unhappy plight, evidently." t _ *> "Yes; I was exceedingly miserable. My face was the colour of death, and. in addition, I got so emaciated that if you had seen me then you would have thought it impossible for me to recover like I have. But my illness taught me that it is a mistake to give up hope whilst there is life. By a mere chance. I discovered a medicine which I am sure is a boon to mankind. I read about several- people who had been cured of various complaints by Clements Tonic, and afterwards came across a ca?e iden tical with my own. Without delay, I procured a bottle of Clements Tome, and in a few days I experienced much relief, the most noticeable being an en tire freedom from discomfort after meals." "Your appetite returned so quick-



ly ?" "Yes. I could soon eat as heartily as ever, besides being able to sleep when my pains lessened, which they did by degrees, and then departed alto gether. Clements Tonic put my liver in order thoroughly, my head being re lieved from pain and my eyesight be coming clear. When my first bottle of Clements Tonic was finished, I purchas ed some more, and thus I went on till I attained a complete restoration to health and strength. My weary, ach ing limbs were restored to their former activity, and I was thankful to be able to go about my work with cheerful en ergy. My nervous system was fed with all its invigorating * necessities by Cle ments Tonic, and I thus threw off the shocking nervousness which had laid hold of my weak and frail constitution. My health could not be better since Clements Tonic restored it." "Would you mind this being pub lished ?" „ , "Not at all. For the sake of others you may publish these facts in any way you please."
