One of twelve. Two Furnace Upright, about 2 years old, 20ft. high, 8ft. diameter, 7/16 inch plates, 30 lbs. pressure. The water was allowed to run so low that the plates softened by the overheating, and a small piece was blown open and threw down the brickwork. _No. 34. Dudley. (Fig. 30.) June 25th. 2 injured._ [Illustration: _Fig. 30._] One of two. Balloon, 34 years old, 12ft. diameter, 10ft. high, 3/8 inch plates, 7 lbs. pressure. There were no stays, and the boiler was of very weak shape, and as the boiler it worked with was loaded to 15 lbs., it is presumed this also was exposed to that pressure, and burst in consequence. It gave way at the angle at front over the fire, and was thrown over the engine house. _No. 35. Manchester. (Fig. 31.) June 27th. 2 killed, 1 injured._ [Illustration: _Fig. 31._] One of four. Galloway, 4 years old, 32ft. long, 8ft. diameter, 7/16 inch plates. Tube 2ft. 10in. diameter, originally intended for 40 lbs., but worked at 65 lbs. pressure. The left hand tube collapsed sideways, having been very much weakened by internal corrosion. _No. 36. July 2nd. 1 injured._ Marine. One of the oval tubes collapsed. The boiler was worked at a higher pressure than it was capable of bearing safely, but no particulars have been obtained. _No. 37. Scotland. July 3rd. 2 killed, 3 injured._ Plain Cylinder, 3 years old, 20ft. long, 4ft. diameter, 25lbs. pressure. It was so corroded inside about the water line from bad water, that it gave way at the ordinary pressure. The boiler was thrown 160 yards from its seat. _No. 38. July 29th. none injured._ Cornish, 26ft. long, 5ft. 9in. diameter, tube 3ft. 6in. diameter, 7/16 inch plates, 35 lbs. pressure. The boiler rent open where externally corroded to 1/32 inch, and 3 widths of plates were torn away. _No. 39. Nottingham. August 12th. none injured._ Tubulous Boiler, quite new, made entirely of tubes. One tube gave way at defective weld, but no other damage was done. _No. 40. Leicester. (Fig. 32.) August 13th. 4 killed, 5 injured._ [Illustration: _Fig. 32._] Upright Boiler, nearly new, 10ft. high, 5ft. diameter, with internal fire box, 1/2 inch plates, 45 lbs. pressure. The shell was rent into many pieces, which were widely scattered, doing much damage. The safety valve was defective and incapable of relieving the pressure, and the spring indicated wrongly, so that a much higher pressure was used than the boiler could bear safely. _No. 41. Newcastle-on-Tyne. (Fig. 33.) Sep. 14th. 5 killed, 20 injured._
