lation speed, when without a seconds
warning the cylinder head was blown
out. Pieces of the head were blown in
all directions and a huge volume of
steam poured forth from a siXnch
feed pipe. Jones was hurled across the
room, but quickly gained his feet and
rushed for the door and escaped into
the open air. Meanwhile, the whole in
terror OF the building was being filed
With hot steam. Jones quickly ran
around the building to the fire room
and climbing up over the boilers, closed
down valve and stopped the escaping
steam. The interior of the engine room
was literally boiled by the steam and
the paint was softened on the wood
work and the belts on the engines We're
nearly ruined. The cement between the
layers of leather was sOftened so that
great care will have to be used so as
to not ruin them entirely. Had Jones
would have been scalded to death. His
right arm was painfully bruised by
being struck by flying pieces of iron.
The brickwork directly behind where
Jones sat when the accident occurred
is badly battered by the broken pieces
