37 INJURED IN MILL EXPLOSION

AN explosion which rocked the centre of Liverpool recently, and was followed by fire, injured 37 workmen, eight of them seriously, and partly wrecked the oil cake mill in which they were employed.

All city ambulances, including A.R.P. vehicles, were commun- deered to take the injured to hospital.

The explosion occurred in a five-storey extension to the building of Messrs. Calthorpe, cattle food merchants, in Marybone.

A sheet of dane shot down the main shaft from top to bottom, setting fire to the building.

The whole of the Liverpool central fire brigade was sent to the scene, while auxiliary fremen, soldiers, and A.R.F, workers were mobilled to fight dames or attend to the injured.

The explosion is belleved to have occurred in a silo, and to have been caused by spontaneous combustion.

One mah. Leonard Wells, had an amazing escape.

He was working on the third floor and wis flung through the hoist door, He clutched the hoist rope, and was left suspended in mid-air until his mates pulled him back into the building.

John Campbell, whose 23-year-old son of the same name was one of the injured, said there was a terrific explosion, but he was unhurt.

"I threw a wet sack over my face go in search of my son," he con- tinued.

"I was told later he had been rescued, and I had to grope my way through domes and blinding smoke down the spiral staircase, which had been almost twisted out of shape."
