Horror-struck amid a ghastly red-&-yellow glare, more than 200 Frenchmen stood on seven fiercely burning decks in the English Channel last week. The biggest liner ever to burn at sea, the 41,000-ton Atlantique, was belching to high heaven $18,000,000 worth of flame & smoke. Asphyxiated a few minutes after he sent her first and only S. O.

...fear & trembling most of Montreal went about repeating Samuel Butler's words last week. POW! WHEEE! FUMP! For three long hours manhole covers burst from their settings, hurtled through the air, followed by 20-ft. comets of flame. The first covey of covers was flushed on the Boulevard St. Denis. Soon they were popping on St. Lawrence Boulevard, Jean Talon, St. André and De Fleurimont Streets. Mile away, an isolated gas station at the corner of Cremazie & St. Lawrence Boulevards blew up with a roar. A precise ambulance interne noted that the manager when picked up had been...
