A DAY OF HORROR
During World War I, the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia, was one of the busiest in Canada. Noted for the second best harbor in the world, ships were coming and going at all times. Transports were carrying armed forces from both Canada and the United States.
On December 6, 1917, business started as usual, stores had opened their doors for business, children were on their way to school.I was always a late sleeper and at nine I was awakened by the moving or my bed. I sat up and wondered what was happening. There was a terrific noise, like bombs exploding. The windows crashed in, the ceiling fell, and soot from the fireplace filled the room. My bed was littered with glass, soot, and plaster. I could hear people screaming in the street, but Iwas too scared to move out of my bed. I thought, "This is the end of the world, and any minute now I will be gone."
I was alone in the house, as the younger children were on their way to school, and my mother had fled the house withmy youngest sister. I could hear my mother in the street saying, "My daughterisin there," but I still could not move out of bed. Most people thought we were being bombed, but that never entered my mind.
I don't know how long I wasthere, but one of my younger brothers, finally crawled up the stairs, over allthe debris, and reached my room. He asked, "Are you all right, Sis?" I assuredhim Iwas, but that the world was coming to an end! He persuaded me to get outof bedand come downstairs. When I did, you could not tell whether my color wasblack or white. My hair was filled with plaster, and I was covered with soot.When I reached the kitchen my mother was glad to see I was safe, and said I should havea cup of tea.
In a short time soldiers were at our door telling uswe wouldhave to leave our home. Meantime, my father came home and told us what had happened. A ship filled with TNT had blown up in the harbor, fires were burning everywhere, and one of the barracks where ammunition was stored was in great danger of blowing up. If this happened, our city was lost. We were told togo to theCitadel Hill, an old fort quite close to where we lived, and if we heard a rumble, to lie flat on our stomachs.
We left our home, with just whatwe had on,and a few blankets. Thousands of people were there, covering a large area. We could see our house from where we were, thinking every minute it would probablygo and we would have no home left. It was terrible suspense! By that time I must have been in a state of shock because I could not stop shaking.They put blankets on me, but nothing helped. I don't remember how long we werethere, but itseemed an eternity. We could see people running, screaming, looking for loved ones, not knowing where they were or what happened to them. Wagonsand cars weredriving by with dead and injured, babies were born in the street, - it was really a day of horror.
We were finally told to return to our homes, as everything was under control at the barracks. What a wonderful relief toknow we had a place to go to, even if we had no windows!
We lived about two miles from the explosion. We were fortunate compared with the folks near where it happened. Thefire on the ship was a sight to see. People flocked there to see it or were looking out their windows. The fire apparatus and horse-drawn wagons were making their way to the fire. The horses and wagons were blown to eternity, one thousand people lost their eyes, two thousand were killed, and thousands were injured.Every available place was made into a hospital or morgue.Windows were broken eighty miles away, and in the business district you would have thought you were walking in slush, as the plate glass windows were shatteredinto small pieces. Bits of steel from the ship c
