 The man immediately starting fo brush the burning piece from his neck and in doing so released his hold on the large suspended ladlc. The other man on the ladle was unable to keep it from ovcrturning. Foreman Don nelly. realizing the situation, jumped 10 the rescue in order to prevent the large ladle from ovcrturning. However he was too late and as he reached the aidc of the ladle, it overturned, dump ing the ton of molten metal on the ground at his feet.
 The metal flew in all directions as t hit the damp floor and spattcrcd over Mir. Donnelly. His clothing pro- ected his body but his head and face were badly burned.
