was caused by running cold water into the
warm boiler The engineer foresaw the
danger and urged the bystanders to run,
but they regarded his warning a joke.
The bodies Of two Of the men were found
torn to atoms in a tree seventy five yards

victims were horribly mangied. John

A more terrific report could not be imag-
