There were some miraculous escapes. Two babies were in a room where a fatality occurred, but they were uninjured, the bomb penetrating the room within inches of the cot. A dog aroused the family, which rushed out.of the bouse. They were nearly suffocated. The father, carrying the children, fought his way out through blinding smoke. The town was awakened by the droning of engines and a deafening explosion. People rushed outside.
