One of twelve. Chimney, 28ft. high, 6ft. diameter. Tube 2ft. 5in. diameter, 3/8 inch plates, 25 lbs. pressure. The blow pipe was left open while some men were inside repairing, and the steam and water from the blow-off of another boiler in the same pipe was forced in upon them. _No. 63. Cradley. December 8th. 1 injured._ Locomotive, 11ft. long, 3ft. diameter, 3/8 inch plates, 95 lbs. pressure. The pressure amounted to about 134 lbs. during a temporary effort to get up a steep curved incline, and the fire box was forced inwards and the outside shell outwards, and the stays drawn, but little other damage was done. _No. 64. Middlesbro'. (Fig. 37.) December 13th. 1 injured._ Locomotive, 18ft. 6in. long, 4ft. diameter, 7/16 inch plates, 120 lbs. pressure. Gave way under bottom of barrel where "furrowed" by the combined action of corrosion and the strain upon the plates, by attachment to the frame of the engine. [Illustration: _Fig. 37._] _No. 65. Westbromwich. (Fig. 38.) December 28th. 1 injured._ [Illustration: _Fig. 38._] One of five, 23 years old. Balloon, 16ft. diameter, 3/8 inch plates, 5 lbs. pressure. It ruptured at the back where the plates in contact with brickwork were reduced by external corrosion, and the bottom was forced down upon the grate, and the top rolled over on to its side. The boiler was not being used, although connected with the other at work. The strain upon the bottom was increased by the boiler being over full and nearly to the brim. Those near were drenched with nearly cold water from it when it upset. _No. 66. Glasgow. (Fig. 39.) December 30th. 11 killed, 30 injured._ Portable upright, about 8 years old, 11ft. 4in. high, 4ft. diameter, 3/8 inch plates, 100 lbs. pressure. The internal portion gave way where attached to the fire holes and collapsed inwards, and the reaction of the issuing contents forced the boiler up some distance on to the top of a house. The safety valve did not act properly, and the pressure appears to have accumulated to more than the boiler could bear, during a temporary stoppage of the engine.

Several (apparently) missing punctuation marks have been added to improve readability. The word 'guage' appears several times. It has been changed to 'gauge' in each location.
