I walked up as far as that point and noticed that the atmosphere around D. F. Co. plant was clear and uncontaminated by smoke of any kind. But as soon as I arrived beyond the bridge over the street I was enveloped in a white cloud of vapors that had an acid smell very similar to what one smells when evaporating phosphoric acid solution that contains a trace of nitric acid. This was at 8:45 A.M. and when I left the place a few minutes later the vapors continued filling that point of the street. Spent remainder of day at works in conference with Hooker
