from blame, but as the BOILERS had not been in
spected by the United States officers, the jury in
one ofthe inquests recommended the Board of Boil
er Inspectors to give to the public at the earliest
day, some account of their labors. 1t seems, from
the testimony of one of the Inspectors, that the

June, in inspecting boilers but have not had time
to examine oil, and this boats boilers were among
the uninspected.
