Ernest Wheeler met with quite a serious
accident last week while at work in the
old bobbin shop. Itappears he was trying
to clean out the sediment which had col
Iected. There was a, tube which was con-
nected with the boiler which reached part
way out the engine room; a tin tubs, was
attached to the iron tube. The men took
a crowbar and worked it through the
tubes, but when the sediment was removed
the steam pressure pushed out the bar and
the tin tube came with it; this let the hot
water and steam into the boiler room.
Mr.. Wheeler was crowded into a small
space, the hot water and hot steam COM

er as soon as possible and thereby saved
himself though it was a close call and he
was quite severely burned.
