THE gUpyIyG or THE SARDIyLfy


The explosion and fire on the Sandman, by
which several lives have been lost, will call at
tcpti0n to serious element Of danger on
passenger steamships. While yet in harbOr,
and within reach of assistance, this vessel
narrowly escaped total destruction by fine, and
the majority OF her passengers were rescued
with difficulty. Had the explosion taken
place while the vessel was at sea,
and especially in stormy weather, few if any
lives would have been saved. Fires and ex-
plosions in cargoes OF coal have been sufl-
cicntly frequent to indicate the danger of that
kind of freight, and many precautions are now
taken in dispatching ships thus laden from
England to her more distant colonies.
A spontaneous fire in the coal of a passenger
steamer on the Atlantic, is, however a rare
event, and its occurrence on the Sandman so
shortly after starting from Liverpool, lends
color to the theory that the explosion took
place in a quantity of fuel stored separately
from the rest, and perhaps put aside
for the return voyage. No doubt there will
be an investigation as to the condition of this
coal at the time when it left the mines, and
as to It's stOwage on the vessel; but when
every explanation has been made, The danger
of future occurrences of the kind Will not have
passed away.
Btuminous coal in large heaps is liable to
spontaneous ignition; if these heaps are in
tight Enclosures, explosion may also take
place. In the year 1904 about 1,40C
houses were destroyed at Copenhagen by
q fire originating in coal heap. A
