'employed to work an ,engine which wee engaged to drive
some blast furnaces in the rolling mill upon the works. The
engine was in charge of a man named Hall at the time the
boiler exploded, and was standing to allow alterations to be
made in some straps. In explodirgy it lilted the other
boiler from its seat, and broke some pipes, which sa d
hot water about in every direction, and melded a
number of persons. Toe briber in exploding was rent
'minder, and was burled through the roof of the mill. It
came in contact with two urge chimneys, which fell, with
their furnaces, and buried four of the deceased persons,
amidst hot bricks and molten metal. It then alighted upon
an elevation, and as Abraham Dixon was running out of a
shed where he had been motive& it droved upon him and
cro•hed him to death. One of the ends fell through the
roof of an adjan at alkali works, and took three fisgers
from the hand of a boy. The other portion, which weighed
five hundred-weight and a half, fell into a yard amongst
some workpeople, but did no harm. Four persona were
hurled into the Tyne by the fume of the implosion, but w-
hined only slight injuries, and many of the wotkpeople had
marvellous escapes.
