in very quidk time, and fifteen to twen-
ty lines of hose were ready to turn on
the fire.
The ship was undergoing inspection
by the commander of the second divis-
ion. and had been under way for over
two hours, the engines, boilers and all
machinery working perfectly, fully
equal to the acceptance trial. Several
of the crew behaved with heroism and
will be reported to the department later
when full particulars are known.
The Tennessee. flagship of the second
division of the Pacific cruiser fleet, left
Santa Barbara at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning, with the cruisers Pennsylva-
MIA, Washington. Colorado and West
Virginia in her wake, on the semi-an-
nual official speed trial provided for by
naval regulations.
Ordered Full Speed
Admiral Sebree had ordered the cruis-
ers to full speed and the Tennessee had
just concluded a series of evolutions
and started straight away at speed of
between eighteen and nineteen knots.
The admiral in the engine room had
just taken note that the dial recorded
steam pressure of 235 pounds when
the blowup occurred. Less than fifteen
minutes earlier the tubes had endured
pressure of 265 pounds-thirty pounds
greater.
"We had been running about two
hours" said Lieutenant Commander
A. H. Robertson, chief engineer of the
Tennessee, when seen In his stateroom
shortly after the cruiser had anchored
inside the breakwater at San Pedro at
5:45 yesterday afternoon, land had no
intimation of the impending trouble.

off, and we were compelled to use our
reserve supply.
than a dozen extinguishers at work
and soon were able to enter the ILL
fated boiler room.
1.-THE heroic manner in which the
men performed their duties Is perhaps
best described by the fact that we were
able to get under way again in twenty
minutes after the accident. The boys
are all heroes. every one of them, and
I am proud of them"
Pedro breakwater at 5:45 p. M, met
by the first party of Los Angeles men
in The Herald's special gasoline cut
ter, the Emma r., flying The Herald's
pennant and commanded by Captain
Jack Vivarttas.
On board. besides the representa-
tives of The Herald, were the Asso-
ciated Press correspondents. The
Emma r. pulled up alongside the Ten
nessee just as the cruiser dropped
anchor, and almost in a moment a
lighter was lowered and The Herald
men were aboard the big cruiser.
Admiral with Men
Admiral Sebree and other officers ac-
companied the press representatives to
the scene of the accident. According
to Admiral Sebree the Tennessee at
the time of the accident was going a
little under twenty knots, but had at
tanned to a record of over twenty
knots. She is the largest and most
modern type of modern cruiser in the
navy. measuring over 500 feet to the
