CLEVELAND. Aug. 14 -At !:45 this
morning No. 2 waterworks crib, five
mill's out In the lake, burned to the
water's edge. The flreboat Clevelander
went out to the scene and the life-saving
crew was a'.so called out. The
flames could be plainly seen from the
hhore and the complete destruction of
thp crib seemed Imminent.
Whether many men were on the crib
could no be learned, but It is thought
ther were fully forty-five workmen.
The men worked In three shifts of fif
teen' men each, it is aald. At 3:30 It
could not be learned whether the rescu
ers had reached the crib In time to save
rhe imperiled men or not. The, "re
burned fiercely from the start from
about 2:45 to about 3:30. It la not
known whether the crib was supplied
with boa'a or not.
HORRrFYING SCENES WITNESSED
Unfortunate Men Were Caught Like
Rats In a Trap,
CLEVELAND, Aug. 14. Thirty men
suffocated In the new water works tun
nel and a number of workmen drowned
are thp first reports of the death list of
an awful calamity which occurred at
an early hour today. The new water
works tunnel crib No. 2 caught fire and
was almost destroyed by the flames.
Three gangs of tunnel workers who live
at the crib were caught like rats In a
trap and either had to jump Into the
lake and possibly drown or else go back
Into the tunnel to a probable death by
suffocation. It Is known that at least
three men were drowned and a number
were rescued. They belonged to the
shift that was resting at the time and
were forced to Jump Into the lake to
escape a death by flr?. Many of them
were very badly burned, others slight
ly. However, the thirty men who were at
vrk in the tunnel at the time of the
fire may all be dead from suffocation.
At 4 a. m. when a tug reached the
scene the fire had died down somewhat.
The life saving crew, fire tug Cleve
lander and four tugs were on the scene,
but nothing could be done to learn
whether the men in the tunnel were
nllve or dead, because of the still burn
ing- structure. The firemen had the
flames under control at 4:t0 a. m.
The opinion of some on the scene
was thit the tunnel men had perlshe
for want of air. Others thought they
were safe, as the compressed air was
possibly not sbut off. The tug Sprankle
brought the badly burned and halt
naked men to shore, where several of
them were taken in ambulances to hos
pitals. At 5:30 o'clock a tug came In with
five charred bodies that had been found.
At 6 a. m. the coroner has been sum
moned and was taken to the scene tn
a tug. Experts also who know the ar
rangements of the shaft In which are
imprisoned the sixteen men will also
go out. The five bodies found are
charred beyond recognition. A few min
ute before 3 o'rl k a bdlr in tht
':r.b expM-d with terrific frce. On
g.ng of (-ight m-n was at work in
the tunnel b.-nath the lake and tw
more gangt wer asles-p In th crib at
th time. A soon as the ex;ilj;,n
occurred one of the gang abov (the
lake started down the elevator to get
the gang und"rna:h out but while on
th way dmn th power operating the
I.-va:or gav out and thy were cut off
with their comrades.
In a few mlnut -s the remainder of the
party In ;h rrlb discovered tha: their
position wa ex'remeiy critical. About
twenty-one men and one woman were
hemn-d in by the burning crib which
was of wo.,1 and was filled with ln
rUmahle material. Ti terrified to dress
th-y Were forced back atep by step to
the water'a edge by the advancing fire.
Smoke enveloped them an! their only
hope aeenvd :he war of the lake.
They were without boits and three
mil- from shore. Thy had no hope of
j aid reaching them. S-mn the flames
f ireed them Into the water and gather
ing any pice of wreckage possible,
Jump-d into the like. There waa not
even a ledge around the crib for the
Imperiled people to cl'ng to, and they
were flntlrg n-ar the burning crib
screaming for h-lp when the tug Sprin
kle reached the scer.e. The tug was In
the harbor when the fire was firs: seen
and though It went at fu'd speed to the
burning structure, the building hal
burnfd to the waters level when il
reached there.
Captain H. Thorn? of the tug J. R.
Sprankle stated that he found the lak?
in the vicinity of the fire swarming with
men. They were all naked and were
swimming about In the water aim st
exhausted. He says that he saw at
least one man throw up his hinds In
despair and sink Into a watery grave.
Captain Thorne and his crew rescued
eighteen of the men and brought them
to Cleveland.
Daniel Hartman was one of those
brought In on the Sprankle. He said
that the first Intimation of anything
wrong was the terrific explosion which
awakened him and the others.
"A fearful panic followed," he said
"many of the men rushing from their
beds and throwing themselves into the
lake. I ran from my bunk and looked
around and soon saw that the crib was
doomed. The fire spread like lightning
and there was hardly any us fighting
it. It eoon got too -warm for me and I
Jumped Into the water."
Men brought in by the tug all unit
ed in saying that there was little hope
for the poor unfor:una:es left In the
shaft
"The elevator Is burned." they said,
"and they are cornered down there like
J rats. As soon aa the air be.-omes dead
they wHl smother.'
