1
of the British steamer DOcian, arrived at
this port this morning. reports that on
the 10th inst, at 2. m, lat. 81, long.
1915, he saw vessel on fire and burn to
the waters edge. He could not learn
what she was, but supposed she was
steamer. The same day, at u M, lat.
3s.5S, long. TI.27, he saw q bark showing
a red flag with a white letter T, steering
southeast. 1t is a reasonable inference
that the bark alluded to had previously
been in communication with the i'll fated

TOLEDO, OHIO, April 22-The explosion
Of engine No. "A, of the f. W. and W.
Railroad, was evidently occasioned by
want Of the requisite quantity of water
in the boiler. The Tree of the explosion
shows that the boilers cad Withstood more
powerful pressuFe-nltcse than would be
required by any test TO which they are
subjected. Whether the explosion was
the result of carelessness or a defect in
the pipe or pump carrying water to the
boiler, will never be known, but Che fact
that it was OeeasiOned by heating the
bliler when it was not supplied with the
proper gauge Of water is generally be-
HeVed. The engine was attached to a |
freight train awaiting the time for leav- !
ing. Il exploded with force seldom |
equsled, and with a report which startled !
our CiuEeGs in all parts of the city |
like the report OI a cannon but I
block distant. A piece of iron, or several I
pieces Joined, entered the head of the |
Bremen il bplk and came out upon the |
opposite side in several places, killing |
him instantly. The engineer was struck 1
IN ss-e-2l places on the head, and a piece /
of the boiler passed through the lower |
part Of the abdomen. He lived more |
than au hour. A brakesmsn who was on |
top of freight car behind the tender was /
Injured by being ssalded aud knocked |
from the car. The engine was standing |
still waiting its time to start, when, |
without warning of any kind, the explO- |
sion occurred. At the point the engine |
YEs a.sndiGg. the rails were bent down |
six inches BY the Whsels, and the engine |
then leaped fFom the TRACK to GH2,' side I
about a foot and forward about q rod. Of |
the boiler, there remains upon the spot /
scarcely a vestage, two pieces landing on |
Broadway, distance from the see ne OF /
