La Liberte Explosion at Toulon

The recent explosion on the French battleship La Liberte was responsible, later advices declare, for the death of 204 men and the wounding of 136. Two were found alive, but so pinned by the wreckage that efforts to liberate them have proved unavailing. Every war-ship in the harbor of Toulon was more or less injured. Thirteen were killed on the Republique; fifty are missing from the Renan; ten on the Suffern were killed.
