TERRIFIC BOILER EXPLOSION AND

LOSS OF LIFE

Yesterday, at Hampton Hill, about two miles from BOP,
a terrific boiler explosion took place at the bleach works °'
Messrs. Warburton and Holker, attended by a considerable
destruction of property, and melancholy loss of life. it
appears that, in those works, two boilers are high pressure,
and the other low pressure, each of sixty horse power, have,
for some time, been in use night and day. The latter 10°/
not been thought in good condition for the last twelve
months, and a new boil& has been got ready, and was t°
replace it on Monday next. The necessity of the substitte
tion may be judged from the fact that, so lately as Tuesda9o
the men had to cease working, in order that some reloi,r;
might be made, from its having widely yielded to the
pressure of the steam ; yet, it is affirmed, notwithstanding
this fact, and that it was originally intended to blow °
steam at 351bs. pressure to the square inch, the pressure ha!,
been frequently up to 6011 m—the pressure, indeed, that I'
supposed to have produced the accident. The effects of the
explosion, which took place at six o'clock yesterday moraitig°
were, indeed, terrific. The noise was heard at more the°
mile distant. The masses of iron and timber, upheave°
from fifty to one hundred and fifty feet in the air, wer
enormous ; the whole mass of dye houses completely 131°'°,13,,
down and demolished ; the calicoes and other combustib';
material took fire; and about ten persons, in one way
another, were either killed or buried in the ruins, and alol
twenty more or less seriously injured.
