was covered by boiling water. and in
stepping out of his berth his right foot
was badly scalded. He says the rupture
in the boiler did not sound like an expln-
sion, but resembled The gushing out Of
an immense body of steam. He did not
think at first that it was an explosion,
because there was no sharp report. His
opinion is that the disaster was not caused
BY heavy pressure Of steam, but by an
imperfection in the iron. This opinion
is sustained by the appearance of the
boiler, the fractured piece being turned
over as If ripped out, and still remains
fast by enc edge to the boiler.
