9th inst. The propeller Petrol, built for pleasure

river, when off the foot Of Jay street. suddenly burst
her boiler There were on board at the time four per
sons, viz; Henry Brink, engineer Edward Downey,
fireman; and pilot and deck hand, whose names
could not be ascertained Downey escaped with onIy
a severe wound in the head, but the others were
killed instantaneously The engineer was thrown by
the force of the explosion high into the air. and came
down upon the hurricane deck of the steamer Broad
way which gave way, precipitating him to the main
deck beneath When the body was taken up it was
minus an arm and leg. The bodies Of the pilot and
deck hand were torn into fragments The boat was,
of course, a total wreck
The Express gives the following particulars of the
affair:
As she was steaming up the river opposite jaw
street. the engineer appeared deck and saluted the
engineer OF the steamer Broadway, then lying at her
wharf at the above pier and just as he was waving
his handkerchief the explosion took place The scene
that ensned is described as being most terrible The
propeller was blown to pieces, and I'll who were on
board were killed, with the exception of the fireman.

The body Of the engineer, Henry Brink, was blown
fully one hundred feet into the air and in its descent
fell upon tile promenade deck of the steamer Broad
way crushing in the deck with its weight and forcing
its way through to the saloon below. The body
of the unfortunate man was mangled in the most
shocking manner; one of his legs was entirely blown
off while his entrals protruded to the length Of scy.

Downey's escape seems most wonderful. He was
picked up in the water in half conscious state suf

being brought ashore however, he revived sufficient.
