legs blown of. Captain Adams, experiment Oihcer
Sergeant Dakin and Gunner Underwood died this
afternoon.
At first the surgeons entertained hopes OF Saving
the lives of Colonels Srangways and Lyon, each oi
whom appeared strong enough to survive the loss
of both legs. But both expired short time ai'er
the doctors completed their operations.
The explosion was caused in a singular manner.
Colonel Lyon had invented some fuses ana rocket
floats. He desired to make some final experiments
with them He deemed it too hazardous TO make
these at W oolwch and he obtained permission to car
ry them on at the Royal School of Gunnery at Shoe
buryness. Gunner Allen undertook to make the at
tachments between the shells and fuses He found
his first attempt to insert fuse into shell dli-
cult TO overcome the difficulty he lmprudcntly
used too much force and exploded the shell; The
explosion knocked the seventeen officers ana men
who were present to witness the experiments on
their feet Allen was killed instantly. HIS rlght
arm was torn of aud his head was nearly severed
from his body.
