SAN FRANCISCO. April 20.—While
the transport Warren was being taken
out to the Hunter Point drydock to
day an accident occurred in which two
men were badly injured, several re
ceived slight wounds and the 700
workmen aboard got a scare they will
not forget in a hurry. The big trans
port was ready to be taken out of the
drydock, and the water to float her

recovered herself and then went over
again to an angle of 45 degrees and
remained in that position for half an
hour. When the Warren gave her

loose and pinned Aaron Astill, an
electrician, to the side of the ship,
breaking his ankle. The main binder
also broke loose and struck Ben Hall,
a boilermaker, crushing his hip. Sev

After the .second lurch it did not take
five minutes to clear the ship, and
some of the boilermakers and ma
chinists did not stop running until
they were safe among the hills. Over
400 of them refused to make the trip
down the bay on the vessel, and
w’alked in from Hunter’s Point. The
Warren was not damaged.
