EXPLOSION ON BOARD SHIP.—SWANSEA, July 25,—.i
terriffic explosion occurred on board the Fella, of NorA Of
243 tons register, this morning, about half-past ten o'clock:,
and caused the most serious injuries to three men on board
the mate, the co( k, and an apprentice. From t;:e
particulars gleaned it appears, that the. vessel had only two
days previously been deeply laden with steam coal. 9.1,8
eaptc in, not acquainted with the inflammable nature of ti-,e
coal, had battened down the main hatchway, leaving tt,w( ly
the fore and aft open. About the hour mentioned the
captain was writing in his cabin, all on board being buf)r
preparing for sea, it being intended to leave that
Suddenly a terriffic explosion took place, shaking the whole
of the vessel, ripping up the decks, covering boards, beam''
Dumps, Sc , and blowing the three poor fellows many feet in,
the air, all of them falling into the water. Some sailers
feet high, wire entirely c nsumed by the flames. The ca, `c
clothes, which were drying in the rigging
of the explosion has not been ascertained. The thrcn
rigging, at least twenty
sufferers, when taken out of the water, were found to be vol
much burnt, and were instantly conveyed to the inflrimirP
where they now lie in a very precarious state.
