FATAL ACCIDENT WITII THE MACIIINERY OF A
STEAM-BOAT.---AD inquest was held on Tuesday at
the Bull's Head, High-street, Shad well, beibre Mr.
Baker, on the body of William Maughan, aged forty.
John Chippenfield said that the deceased was chief
engineer of the Nelson steam-boat, a vessel belong-
ing to the Shipowners' Towing Company. On Mon-
day afternoon the vessel was lying by the side of the
hulk at Gravesend for the purpose of getting in coals,
and while all the men, with the exception of deceased,
were busily engaged upon deck, witness heard the
latter' call from the engine-room for assistance. The
hatches were immediately raised, and the deceased
was then seen firmly fixed amongst the Machinery,
which was in motion, though they had orders to stop.
Witness with the deputy engineer ran below, and by
that time the machinery had stopped ; but they hall
to set it in motion again to release the deceased's foot,
which was jammed between the piston and the bar
called the " cross head." His body was also dread-
fully mangled. A surgeon Was sent for from Graves-
end, but, notwithstanding his attention, deceased died
in a quarter of an hour. The machinery was not set
in motion by the steam, but by the tide against the
paddle-wheels. The deceased was oiling it and
making the screws tighter when the accident hap-
pened. The deceased was alone to blame. Verdict--
" Accidental death."
