Mr. GUI was looking after some freight and was directly in front of tho big holo blown through the wall of the building. To a Georgian reporter Mr. Gill gave a graphic account of his thrilling ex perience. He said: “Shortly after 8 o’clock I had started to find a certain piece of freight nnd had climbed up on a pile of boxes. Just ns I was In the act of placing my hands on this piece of freight thero was a sudden terrific report and jar and my head felt as though It had been split open. The concussion was awful and I knew that something terrible had hap pened, but didn't know what. "Instantly, following the explosion, the entire building was tilled with a dense smoke and dust. The terrific noise deafened me and I could neither see nor hear. I was almost numb from the shook and simply didn't know whut to do. “As soon as I could regain my pres ence of mind 1 realized I was In a dan gerous position, and us best I could commenced trying to make my escape, i I climbed and tumbled from the pile of! freight and groped my way through the I heavy smoke. In some way I finally got out Into the fresh ulr and this re vived me. Even then, however, the smoko wus so dense outside It was some time before I could see the wreck age and realize what had happened.” Although badly shocked, Mr. GUI was able to remain on the scene and aid in the work of relieving the confusion.
