Negro Colony Escapes
Warning was issued about picking up explosives after an accident to Clifford Condran, a young boy, today. He picked up a tube and struck it with a hammer. The tube exploded and blew away his abdomen.
An interesting contribution to the list of freak happening in connection with the explosion was made today when it was determined that only one person was killed in the Negro section of the city known as Africville, though it was less than 300 yards from the Mont Blanc. The Negro victim was on his way to town and had stopped to watch the fire. Hope was abandoned today for 60 men who were loading provisions on the steamer Picton at the Acadia sugar refinery at the time of the disaster. There were shells of the ship and when the fire occurred on the Mont Blanc, they decided to put the covers on the holds, though most of them knew the Mont Blanc carried high explosives. As the shock came the pier to which the ship was moved collapsed, a mass of wreckage, and it is believed the 60 men were buried in the ruins.
