There was a new fireman on the engine, and one of the valves was not working properly.

The men had gathered around the donkey to warm their hands and await the time of com mencing work. There was not enough water in the engine Itoil er, and suddenly the explosion came. The four men killed were hurled to the earth and Pitman was instantly killed, l he holler was found a quarter of a mile away.
