off San Diego last night, naval
headquarters announced today.
The blast occurred at 4;30 p. IN.
as the Nautilus, largest and most
modern of the navy's submarines,
was cruising on the surface.
A deafening roar shook the
craft, followed almost Immediately
by a second explosion.
The engine room was filled with
flames and smoke. Men were hurl-
ed against the sides of the narrow
compartment.
Hatches were closed as soon as
the injured were hauled to safety,
and oil in the room was allowed 10
burn itself out.
Radioman Bowman was carried
TO the radio room where he tap
ped out first word OF the accident
as blood streamed from his scalp
wounds.

hurled shattered piece of steel
against his head.

The injuries resulted, it was un-
derstood, when a crankcase on one
of the engines exploded. This first
mishap was followed split second
later by a similar explosion on an
other engine. 1t was believed that
gas pressure, rising under the full
speed run, led to the explosions.

about the head and suffering from
chest injury. sent the wireless
message that brought the Barry
to the submarines aid
The Nautilus, one of the largest
and finest of the navy's submarines,

Ohio Cornfield Another Dies
In Florida Wreck.

BURTON, O., March 9. U.P)-
Lieut.. Otto Weinecke, army mail
flyer, was killed early today when
his plane crashed in a cornfield
three miles northwest of Burton.
Lieut.. Weinecke, enroute from
Newark, N. j., to Cleveland, had lost
his way in a binding snoWstorm.
He was approximately SO miles off
his course.
The wrecked plane was discovered
by John Hess. tenant on the
farm where the crash occurred The
plane was demolished but did not
catch fire.
Hess told authorities he was pre-
pairing to leave the house to do the
morning chores when he heard the
roar of plane motor.
Rushing outside he saw the dim
outlines of a ship cruising through
the SnOWStorm. He watched +
sweep low over the cornfield. The
plane suddenly dived to the ground
burying its nose deeply into the
soft earth.
Rushing to the plane he found
the pilots battered form crumpled
in the wreckage of the fuselage
The bags of mail appeared to be
intact, he said.

a boat with Evans Safety Valve
and she said she would.
At that point, the diary relates,
Mr.. Dickens, who had been across
the room, pricked up his ears and
came over and wanted to know
what Mr.. Scully had said about
safety valves. Evidently the sub
ject was a tender one with the
DickenSes, for Charles himself
leaves the following testimony
Our next point was Cincinnati
and as this was a steamboat jour
ney, and western steamboats, usu-
ally blow up one or two a week
in the season, it was advisable to
collect opinions in reference to
the comparative safety of the YES
sells bound that way. One
called the Messenger was the best
recommended.
"She had been advertised to
start positively, every day for a
fortnight or so, and had not gone
yet, nor did her captain seem to
have any very fixed intention on
the subject. But this is the Gus
tom: for if the law were to bind
down a free and independent
citizen to keep his word with the
public, what would become of the
liberty of the subject?"
DOz described his impressions Of
ID Pittsburgh in general, in the
same gently sarcastic vein. pitts
burgh is like Birmingham in Eng
land; at least its townspeople say
so. Setting aside the streets, the
shops, the houses, the wagons,
factories, public buildings, and
population, perhaps it may be. 1t
certainly has a great quantity of
smoke hanging about it." How
ever, despite the smoke. 1T is very
beautifully situated on the AL
legheny river, over which there
are two bridges; and the villas of
the Weather citizens sprinkled
about the high grounds in the
neighborhood, are pretty enough"
At any rate, on Friday morning,
All Fools day, Charles and Kate
Dickens boarded the Messenger
for Cincinnati, which they reached
without an explosion.
Next day the Chronicle had this
to say: HE was not despatched
with that fulsome praise with
which he was bedaubed in the
east. We admired his genius,
and we're prepared to grasp his
hand and give it a good Repub-
lican shake; we let him see us as
we were. and if he chooses to

records a quotation from letter
written by him to his son, Will

Boz is here. Morrison called on
him today. Stephen and will go

AS Howard points out, PITY it
is we can not know what Dickens
said to the future composer Of
Old Folks At Home" A record
of the conversation between these
two young men, each destined to
rise to the topmost pinnacle in his
own branch of art, would have
been interesting indeed.
However, a Pittsburgh attorney
named Charles B. Scully, was
more vociferous on the visit of
Boz to Pittsburgh. An extract
from his diary follows:

Mr.. Dickens arrived tonight at
the Exchange hotel.

event, a thing I never expected,

Dutran and Mr.. D'Almaine, was
introduced to Mr.. Charles Dick

age.
HE gave us a cordial hand
shake. 1 wished him welcome,
and he thanked me most politely.
"I was then introduced to Mrs.
Dickens, who very easily, and in
a friendly manner, reached out
her hand. I took a seat beside
her, and spoke of her fortune in
having such good weather"
After a few more remarks about
scenery and the weather, the con-
versation between Kate Dickens
and the attorney turned to safety
valves.
she said she hoped she would
not be nervous, as she was
alarmed at the dreadful accidents
on our rivers from boiler explo-
sions. I recommended her to take

I'm a milo MdTCn evening III
~ 1912, Charles Dickens, then
successful young novelist of 80,
walked down a canal boat gang
plank with his wife, Kate, on his
arm, and set foot in the city of
Pittsburgh, for a Monday-to-Fri-
day visit.
Though it was nearly century
later that his manuscript, the
Life of Our Lord" was to be
taken from its dusty seclusion in
a bank vault, and it's publishing
rights sold at the fabulous price of
SIS a word, Dickens even then was
world famed as the author of
oliver twist Nicholas Nickel
by" and "Pickwick Papers"
His quest in America was for
atmosphere"
He found Pittsburgh a valley
full of smoke, an old friend,
youthful composer of dreamy
southern melodies, a town full of
b oori h backwoodsmen, and
enough leisure time, he relates, to
practice the art of hypnotism on
his young wife.
Incidentally, he mentions in
letter to a friend that while here
he got so proficient at hypnotiSm
that he was able to put Kate to
sleep in the amazing time of two
minutes. But he may have been
Dragging.
Anyway, Boz, as he was affec-
tionately known to the world put
up at the Exchange hotel, at Sixth
street and Penn avenue-"a most
excellent hotel" where they were
admirably served"
The youthful Boz, was, as has
been mentioned, atmosphere
hunting. He found it. 1t seems
that he held receptions, after the
manner of great folk in general,
at his hotel room. And while on
the river packet Messenger en-
route to Cincinnati after his de-
parture, he wrote a letter to his
VI
describing the events.
I'VE had very queer customers
at our receptions, I assure you,"
Boz related to his friend. Not
the least among them, a gentle
man with his inexpressibles i'm
perfectly buttoned and his waist
band resting on his thighs, who
stood behind the half-opened
door and could not be prevailed
upon to come out.
There was also another gentle
man with one eye and one fixed
gooseberry, who stood in the
corner motionless like an eight
day clock and glared at me as
courteously received the Pitts
burghians.
THERE also were two red
Il headed brothers-boys-young
dragons, rather - who lowered
about Kate and wouldn't go. A
great crowd they were for three
days, and very queer one"
However, all was not barbariSm
in the city of Pittsburgh, even at
that early day.
There was in the city at that
time a young portrait painter
named George D'Almalne. Dick
ems had known him in London,
but hau lost track of him, not
hearing Of him nor seeing him in
the intervening ten years. We
need not imagine Bozs surprise
at finding him in Pittsburgh. The
novelist tells it in his own words:
I'VE were there received by a
little man "a very little mani
whom I had known years ago in
London. He rejoiceth in the
name G.. D., and when I knew
him he was in partnership with
his father in the stock exchange
nearly ten years ago. and he
turned up t'other day as por-
trait painter in Pittsburgh.
He dined with us every evening
during our stay in Pittsburgh
there were only three and was
truly gratif1ed and delighted to
find me unchanged-more so than
I can tell vol"

write us in his book it will be
no fault of ours if we are clasSed
among the dogberries who beset
his first arrival"
So it was that Charles Dickens
found us, nearly a century ago; a
rough, ood-intentioned, bad-man-
nered crowd, part of the great
unknown, unwashed west.
Two books grew out of the
American expedition: American
Notes" and the novel Martin
Chuzzlewit." Both reflect the
authors good-natured super
ciliousness toward the great de-
mocracy.
