terrible explosion occurred on board the
u wal. steamer Chenango, in New York, on
Friday afternoon, which resulted in the death
OF seventeen persons, and in scalding others
so badly that their lives are despaired Of
The Chenango was proceeding to Sandy Hook,
and at o'clock the port boiler exploded,
tearing up her decks and fatally scalding a
large number of the crew. The revenue cut
ter Bronx, the United States steam transport
Tilley, and the tug Rose rendered what assis-
lance lay in their power, towing the Chenan-
go to the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The authorities at the navy yard rendered
valuable aid. The dead and injured were
transferred to the marine hospital, where they
arrived about p. NJ.
With the exception Of three or four, says the
Evening Post, OF Saturday, all the men who
inhaled staem will die. Many of them were
terribly disfgured, their blackened skins aud
swollen features presenting horrible specta-
Gle. The friends of several of the sufferers
were in attendance this morning, relieving
their wants as far as possible, but in most
cases all efforts are useless, the injured per-
sons being unable to speak.
The statements in regard to the accident
are conflicting. Probably one OF the most i'm
portant was that made by Mr.. Murray before
his death, "that he had always been apprehen-
sive of the boiler" The captain states that
he had visited the engine-room not ten min
utes prior to the accident, and that everything
was right when he left. He had passed into
the cabin and was going thence TO the hurrl-
zane deck when he heard the pynlosion .Iahn
