the boiler In 1875" he said considered II good
one. The trouble IN this case with the place
whore the patches put at the base OF the steam
chm ley that the current OF steam passing aIOuhu
wore II away and patches were put on inside and OUT
This made leaks 1t worn through forward ana aIt
of the chimney. All the material USED IN eOt-
stTucting the boiler irOn The steamer Chrys-
teuah has similar boiler that has been used Tor sN
years and sfill used the staying is the same the
boiler OF the Adelph has been seen by me since the acc

j. Augustus Rowland the engueer testified about tho

NOrWak IN June last, he did not particularly examine
the places where the patches were. About six weeks
before the acCidentt found that the patches were
leaking they removed and large one was put IN
their place, -,
