valve again gave warning which shows conclusively tha t the safety valve worked freely and that, the steam guage did not, show the correc~ pressure. The water column-was found Lo be quite badly clogged with lime but there was still enougl~ open- ing for the water to rise and fall in the guage, providing there were no loose particles of scales or lime l h a t would tend to close the opening. The exrmination of the differen~ parts of the boiler which were found has a tendency to show tha~ ~he water was M0t extremely low, but seems to have been somewhat lower than it should have been. So according t o the above named conditions, the main cause of the explosion was due to low water and too high a steam pressure, allow- ing the plates~to become overheated, and when the safety valve opened al- lowing the steam to escape this caus- ed the .:water to rise on to the heated plates, and then the water flashed in- to the steam which caused a still greater expansion of the steam at the moment of liberation. This, together with the steam pressure a t tha t mom- ent caused the explosion.

I t is needless to say tha t no one can be particularly blamed for. the acci- dent. I t is true the boiler w'~sold, but, nevertheless in serviceable condi- tion. I t never was c~ndemned, 'and judging from t h e appearance of the boiler af ter i t was torn to pieces it must have been made of the best ma-
