BAD ACCIDENT AT
THE HAG NESS GIN
[CONTINUED FHOM PAGE lj
using, lie says, was muddy and he
thinks the sediments had filled up
the pipe which connects the water
gauge with tle> boiler, thus caus
ing it to improperly indicate the
water supply. He had 70 pounds
of steam, he said, and the water
guage showed two guages of wat
er, and his opinion is that instead
of having that amount of water,
the boiler was nearly dry, and
when he started the inspirator, the
inflow of water caused the boiler
to burst.
Mr. Nicholson lives at Alonzo,
and has had 1 '2 years experience
as an engineer. Ho began work
at the gin here as engineer on
Thursday previous to the explos
sion.
K. H. Ridley, of Newport,
was telephoned for and came up
on the afternoon local to make an
examination of the ruins and see
if tiie boiler could be repaired.
Mr. Riddley’s opinion is that it
was not really an explosion, but
merely an over-pressure of steam
that caused the accident.
The safety valve had too much
| weight on it, and the boiler being
under a full head of steam, and
already containing two guages of
water, the starting of the inspira
tor caused a greater pressure than
the boiler would stand. The steam
gtiage was more than likely out of
order; did not properly indicate
the steam pressure; and instead of
having 70 pounds of steam, the
boiler likely contained something
like 200 pounds of steam, or per
haps more, and the safety-valve
being weighted down with several
pieces of iron in addition to the
regular pea, the steam could not
escape, hence the end of the boiler
was blown out.
They have telegraphed an order
for a new boiler, which will arrive
the first of next week, and they
! expect to be ready to resume op
' erations by the 24th.
