Fire ships engulf New York lumber yard and vessels
A fire in New York Harbor at Hunter's Point spread from the American Export Lumber Company yard across Newton Creek, burning six barges, a schooner, and a ship. Firemen and tugs fought the blaze as ten acres burned, with vessels drifting toward Blackwell Island. The scene remained broad and uncontrollable. The Seawanhaka disaster grand jury indicted several officials and vessel owners for manslaughter, alleging lax inspections and negligent licensing.
