The Hartford Couraht' coptains a ~
account ofthe late disastrous explosion 6d,l
board the New England. WofndlsoRsi
additional particulars Of interest.
Captain Waterman, the commaadSlY
was on the whecI-house a, the time of the
explosion, attending to the landing gf7C-I
sengcrs from the small boat. He notee1
n movement over tho boilers, and .imInc-
diatcly jumped, or was thrown upon The
forward deck. He was somewhat bru1.4.
ed, but not seriously injured. II.
In regard to the cause Of this dreadful
explosion, (says the Courunt) we believe
it to be the prevailing opinion of all wgo1. /.
have taken pains TO ascertain the facts in :
tho case, that it may be traced TO aegE-
geRce or presumption on the part oftho liz
yineer, IN permitting the steam TO acdi- Il
nulatc beyond what tho strength of the q
boilers could sustain. From the! best IN q
we Gun obtain, the steam wss :.
lot blown off while the boat lay at Say !,
'rook, and tho same was. true during htx "
toppage at Essex.
