secure report of the affair On the
return of Willitson he gave the fol-
lowing account of the accident,
preparatory to writing his report:
The command under escort of
cavalry was taking its daily march
ing exercise. The caissoD consists
of timber on which is chest, and
the carriage containing two chests
more of ammunition, making three
chests on the caisson. The explosion
occurred in the chest of the llmoer,
and the force of the explosion was
to the rear, tearing away the caisson
and igniting the powder in the other
two chests. The first calsson carried
forty-two shrapnel and forty four
cartridges. The shrapnel are loaded
percussion shell, containing fulmi-
mates and small balls, aud are fired
from the cannon by cartridge con-
tanning, as in this case, three and
three quarter pounds of powder.
My theory of the accident is that the
screw plug at the base of one of the
shrapnel became loosened, some OF
the poweer leaked out. and being
grounded and pounded by the jolt
ing of the timber, ignited, the pow
der in the cartridges exploded, and
the ignition of the cartridges III the
other two chests followed.
In the second chest on the cais
son were twenty six time shells, six
teen shrapnel and their complement
of forty four cartridges. The force
of the explosion can be more readily
understood when it is remembered
that the 1872 cartridges contained
495 pounds of powder.
Il have no recollection Of similar
accident in the United States artil-
lery, and it is the first on record SO
far as I can learn. The guns
were the new rifed field pieces
recently introduced into the service
and have not seen active duty. The
ammunition is a couple Of years
old and has been jolted over the
rough roads in Kansas and yet going
on light pace on smooth street
Of Chicago the explosion took place.
