Tragic Result of the Trial Trip
of the Davis,
Accident Happens on Columbia
Rivor Near Calhlamet,
lly Associate! Prcji to The Journiil.
Astoria, Oct. 21. The bursting of
ono or moro steam tubes In the for
ward boiler of the torpedo-boat Davis
while on her official trl.il trip yester
day fatally scalded seven fireman.
The accident occurcd while tho
boat was westward bound, off Tcnas
Illlhee, near Cathtamct. She had run
ono of the required two hours ut full
speed, and was making abont 23 J
knots per hour, under a steam pres
sure of 250 pounds.
Until a careful examination of tho
boilers Is made the prctlso nature or
tho accident cannot be learned, but
enough Is known to show tliut It was
ono of those mishaps which no man
can foresee, and for which no ono can
ba justly blamed.
Seven dromon, under tho direction
of William Wood, foreman of tho
boiler shop of tho Wfflir & Zwlckcr
Iron work, wcro working manfully to
keep up tho tremendous steam pres
sure necessary to supply the Hying
engines, Without a momont's warn
lng, something Inside tho holler gave
way, and it withering blast of live
steam. II ro and smoke tilled tho
cramped boiler-room aud oyerpowercd
tho helpless workmen, At the samo
time, the forward smokestack began
to vomit forth flames uni muddy
water, und those on deck saw that
something serious had happened be
low, Harry Burrows, a fireman who
was stationed at the tightly closed
hatch or tho boiler room, throw tho
door open, and was thrown btok
ward on tho deck by a rush of scald
ing stam that scared his mustache,
and hair like red hot Irons,
Atthosamo Instant, Joseph Porter,
amaohlnlst. and J. 13. Wolff, vice
president of the contracting firm,
sprang down tho ladder and Into tho
seething pit, regatdless of tho fearful
heat that utmost oyorcamc them.
Together they lifted Foreman Wood
to the hatch, where a dozen pairs of
frauds were waiting to recolvc him.
And then, ono by one, six moro hor
ribly mutilated men wore takon
from tho death trap. Several
of tho most severely inlurcd walked
.unaided to the urter cabin, where Dr.
E. II. Thornton, thocompuny's physi
cian, who accompanied tho bo-it, at
tended to them us rapidly as ho was
able to do so. Few were able to re
press the groans that spoke or their
terrible suffering, but nil bore them
selves with tho fortitude that men In
the time of war call heroism. The
appearance of that grim pro-
cession, as it filed along the narrow

If you want to get tho most for your money it will pay you to go
to THE FAIR store for boot's, shoes, umbrellas, bats, caps, shirts,
overalls, boys' suits, tin and granite ware, gloves, "uderwear,
hosiery, and a full line of notions, everything at lowest racket

The Fair Store,

deck, Is not to bo described It was a
sight that no ono on board will ever
forget, and which nonq would pco
again for any price that could bo paid.
Meanwhile Captain W. II. Patter
son, who was In command of tho Pa'
vis, brought the boat to a standstill,
whllo Fritz Wollland Arthur Zw.lclfcr,
of the contracting firm, went Into the
boiler-room nnd sot aoout quenching
n (Ire which had been utaitcd by tho
explosion among tho oil, waste aud
coal on tho floor. An examination or
tho after boiler showed that tho water
had 'all been drawn from it by the
rent in the othor. There was nothing
to do out to drop anchor uni wait for
help, and every mlnuto moant per
haps a life.
The accident was unaccountable 'td
those on board. The contractors iiOjVp
been careful and painstaking In the
construction of tho boilers, this being
a branoh of tholr work In which ritfey
have always mob with marked succcm,
They have conscientiously followed
all tho rigid rcqulrorucats laid down
by the government, sufficient proof
of which Is tho fact that the boilers
have bcon constantly undor, the
Inspection of officers or the navy de
tailed for that express purpose. llctoro
they were placed In the torpedo-boats
the boilers wore subjected to a water
pressure of 300 pounds to tho Rquarq
fuel), 110 pounds moro than that at
which they wore working at thti tlmo
of tho accident. The crew volunteered
for tho eorylcc. They have always
been used with fuirncss and consider
ation by their employers, and not ono
of tho men on board but disclaimed
tho belief that their employers wero
in any way responsible for Jtho unfor
tunate occurrence. How It happened
will 'dovclop on Investigation of thp
boilers "today. Why It happened no
one Is likely ever to learn.
Tho doctors who cared for thp
scalded victims say there was never,
any chuueo, from tho first, for them
to have lived. Tholr iutfcrlngs were
cased by opiates, and beyond that lit
tlo could be done. Tho last four died
conscious, with tho names of tholr
loved ones on their lips. At StMaty'fY!
hospital the uttendan gJJJ' tholr
races awuy when Drs. ,,.u-j, .. J, Ful
ton and Tuttlo told tho t Sjney had
only u fow hours to llVo'. Woods.
Ryan, IJuclil and Johnson lay on cots
sjdo by sldo and listened to what the
physicians suld. Thoy even tried to
bo chcorful to ono another, but each
was falling fast.
It was a sight never to bo forgotten.
They talked back and forth, until tho
voices died away. and tho pain had
ceased. They all four met together
ou the other sldo within 20 minutes,
and tho lust believed tho other three
still talking to him.
