The Sprague towboat exploded near Salem Landing, Vicksburg, killing two men and seriously injuring two others. Six barges loaded with oil burned, creating a fireline about 200 feet long as the river ran with burning oil. The two missing men were believed swept into the river during the blast. The Gulf Port stood by, rescuers unable to aid until the fire subsided.
