the u. S. District Court, presented before they
adjourned, a report to the court on the sub ect
of the recent explosion of one of the boilers of
the steamboat Paul Jones, which our readers
will remember, resulted in the death of four
DcTSDuS. nbY SldLc NUN all
of the boiler by skilful engineer, it appears
that the sediment had made an incrustation on
the boiler, and that the explosion took place in
consequence of the boiler having been weaken |
ed by the said incrustation. The Jury state
that they do not think sufficient attention is
paid 20 the qualification OF the Engineers that |
are generally employed on board Of the boats
of this place. This evil, the want of skilfu |
and scientific men,-can oaly be remedled by |
the appointment of competent board of Engi- |
neers, who should examine all engineers; and |
none should be employed, except such as have
a certificate from the said Board of their COM
potency to perform the duties of an Engineer.
