Nothing has been seen of him at his home, No. 333 Oakland street, Green- point. It is believed that he was in the forward. cabin of the boat when the explosicn occurred. He was seen to descend to the cabin but a few minutes before the explosion. The burning barge was cut adrift and floated out into midstream, with ta» fire-boat Boody and a fleet of tugs pouring water on it. It ran ashore off the southern end of Blackwell's Island.
