FRIGHTFUL BOILER EXPOSION AT A

SUGAR BOILER'S.

Yesterday morning, shortly after ten o'clock, a
fearful explosion took place on the premises of
Messrs. J. Craven and Co., sugar refiners, of No. 3,
Great Garden-street, Whitechapel-road, whereby
five persons were so severely scalded and otherwise
injured that two of them are not expected to
recover.

It appears that the premises in question were
very lofty and covered a considerable space. At
the rear of the building there was a boiler-house
about 30 feet -in height, and of considerable
strength. At the time above named there were a
number of workmen engaged at their usual duties,
when a loud noise was heard by the inhabitants,
and upon rushing to the back part of the building
it was ascertained that the large boiler had ex-
ploded, and blown the boiler-house almost to atoms,
and that five men were scalded and buried in the
ruins. No time was lost in adopting steps to
rescue the poor fellows, and after some time had
elapsed the following persons were extricated in a
shocking condition :—John Plumb, aged 23 years,
scalded over the whole of the body and limbs ;
Samuel Lee, aged 33 years, similarly injured ;
Joseph Dettmar, aged 21 years, likewise seriously
injured by scalds and contusions; John Regal, 30
years of age, extensively scalded, and otherwise
injured; and another man, whose name could not
be ascertained, was taken out of the ruins very
much contused and bruised on the body and limbs.
The unfortunate sufferers were each placed in
blankets, and conveyed without delay in separate
cabs to the London Hospital, where Mr. Finch,
the house-surgeon, and the whole of the medical
staff of the institution, rendered every possible
assistance in relieving the sufferings of the unfor-
tunate men, but such were the injuries they had
sustained that last evening at eight o'clock two
were rapidly sinking. The other three are going
on as favourably as possible.
The cause of the disaster could not be ascertained,
but an official investigation into the matter will be
made by the Government authorities.
Several houses on either side of the premises have
been much injured by the explosion.
