\ large water tank at Ocean City
used for supplying the engines of the
Baltimore. Chesapeake and Atlantic
Railway burst this morning and knock
ed two boys into the Sinepuxenl bay
The tank has been in use about two
weeks II was situated on the main
land side Of the bridge Within a few
feet Of the reservoir Is 4 small building
containing the boiler and engine for
pumping the water The tank burst
with the report OF cannon, and in a
twinkling 10000 gallons Of water had
broken in the end OF the house and
surrounded boiler, engineer and all
with six feet Of water, dislodging the
boiler, under which. fortunately, there
was no fire Two boys were nearly
under the tank grabbing. and the force
of the water carried them fifteen feet
into the bay. They luckily escaped
being struck hy the iimbers, which flew
with great force in every direction, hut
too far to strike the boys, who kept on
the surface by catching hold of some
timbers that came near them. From
the other side OF the bridge the falling
timbers knocked OF about thirty feet Of
railing and di>lodged the telegraph
wires The bursting Of the iron bands
is probably due To swelling OF the new
thinkers together with the immense
pressure of the water. The spo, is a
favori,e one for grabbing and only the
day before, III the same hour, large
party, including children, had been
there. 1t is very fortunate that no
persons were fatally injured.
