ACCIDENT TO A STEAM YACHT.
A Gasoline Tank Explodes Seriously
Burning Lady.

Captain Teryl, commander of the steam
yacht Florence II, the property OF MI. ID. L.
Howard of New York. informs the PREss
that the gasoline tank that supplies the
lighting of the vessel, blew up when the
yacht was off Yarmouth, about II o'clock,
yesterday morning. The flames set fire to
the cabin and seriously burned Mr.. Howard
about the face and hands in his efforts to
rescue Mrs. lDupan of Paris. No one else
was hurt. The yacht proceeded to Bath and
will go to Boston for repairs.
The above information was furnished by a
letter mailed at Bath yesterday by Capt.
Teryl. 1t seems odd that the captain should
not have brought the yacht into Portland
which was close at hand, and where every
facility for repairing the vessel could be OBJ
tanned. rather than 20 all the way to Bath.
and more particularly If any one on board
was seriously burned requiring a surgeons
services. It'll also strange that the master
of New York steam yacht, If he wished to
notify friends, did not telegraph New York.
