AL the passengers Were asleep when
the explosion occurred. 1t was so vio-
lent that at first 1t was thought the
boilers had burst, and passengers num-
bering about eighty became greatly en-
cited. Many of them rushed into the
saloons, calling for help
The panic was augmented by the
clouds Of steam which %enveloped the
forward cabin and absence OF any re-
sponsible officer of the ship. 1t was at
least ten minutes. according TO passen-
gers, before an officer appeared, and
then 1t was some time before order
was finally restored, as the officers ana
crew seemed not to know what was
the matter.
Finally the steam was shut off and
then 1t was found that the two Ias-
sengers named, who had not engaged
staterooms and were sleeping IN the .or-
