EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE ON 711 E

TRAMES.

The following appeared in our Latest Edition of yesterday
evening:—

An accident, attended with the deaths of three
persons, occurred to-day on the Thames, a little
below the Custom House. The Alice, one of the
steam tugs of Messrs. Oylett, lightermen, brought
three barges up with their freights to Brewer's
Quay, moored off that spot, the captain, with
a boy who acted as stoker, remaining on
board. At nine o'clock a tremendous explo-
sion took place on board the tug-boat,
scattering in all directions fragments of the boiler
and of the boat. The head of the unfortunate
stoker was thrown h Ilf-way across the river.
The captain was also killed. The greater
portion of the boiler, with a part of the
funnel, was thrown up the river, and
fell into the water near Bilingsgat.3. The
Rotterdam screw steamer, the Hollandia, lying
out iu the river, received a perf,ct hailstorm of
these missiles. A fragment of iron struck one of
the Dutch sailors on the head, cutting his forehead
open and fracturing his skull. He was removed to
Guy's Hospital, where he very shortly afterwads
died.

The remains of the tug sank immediately, and in
five minutes after the explosion not a trace of it was
to be seen.
