the Kissing steam, which was filling the
structure from the nest Of boilers that
were displaced and broken in their steam
connections by the exploding boiler,
pieces Of which were hurled through
the mill. The larger portion Of the
bursted boiler was carried through the
side Of the mill landing away In a mass
of scrap iron. fully $50 feet.
The exploeion's sound was heard all
through the town, and crowds rushed
to the mill to learn Its effect. Work
men were soon m~arshalled by Richard
A. Bostley and Simon Rendell, MEM
bers of the firm, and they speedily
removed the debris and released the
men who were buried in 1t, and also
recovered the bodies OF the killed, some
Of whom were badly mangled and
