Accident Seen from Shore.
Brolcon and bl clccned , with her flag
fi 'ing at hnlf mast , her hold filled with
fiftcen feet of water , the United States
gunboat Bennington lies beached on
the shores of San Diego harbor.
Sixty of her crew lay dead at city
morgues , the fate of a dozen more Is
as yet undetermined , and three .score
are stretched upon1beds of pain In
various hospitals.
This Is the result of the explosion
which wreclted the trim little navnl
craft and wrought such terrible hnvoc
among her crew of 192 officers and
men at 10 : 10 o'clock on tlie morning
of July 21.
I
The Bennington at the time of the
accident was lying In the stream just
otr the commercial wharf at the foot of
H street. The warship had received
orders tram the Navy department at
\Vashington to sail for Port Hartford ,
where she was to meet the monitor
\Vyomlng and convoy the vessel to
Mare Islnnd navy yard. Steam was up
and everything was In readiness for
sailing when suddenly and without any
warning whatever the starboard for.
ward boiler exploded with a deafening
roar.
roar.The
The explosion was terrific. People
standing on the shore saw a buge
cloud of white steam rise ahove the
Bennington. Columns of water were
hurled Into the air and for a distance
of nearly twice the height of the spars
of the vessel.
At the time of the accident Com-
Im81111er Lucien Young nnd Surgeon
F. E. Peck were on shore. The two

dlsnster , hurried to the water front ,

On board the Dennington were 11rc.
sented terrible scenes. The force of
the oxploslon hall torn a great hole
In the starboard side of the ship , and
the vessel was already commencing to
list. A section of the UPl1er deck was
carried nway trom stem to stern.

nada shore.
Commnnder Lucien Young said : "As
to the cause of the explosion I cannot
say anything , because I do not know.
Whnt I do 1m ow is that the dam ago
waa caused b ' an exploding boiler or
boilers. The crown sheet of bolh ! ! ' B
collapsed and the boiler hend blew out ,
brealdng through the steel bulkhead
separating It from boiler D , the other
mnln port boiler Immedlntely aft.
Boller D was forced bacle , the crown
sheet collapsing and bronldng down
the steel bullchead separating It from
the fire room. Ever ' one in the firo.
room at the time was ItlUod. Three
bodies arc now pinioned down by the I
collnpsed crown sheet of boiler D and
four more by the burst bulkhead.
These bodies we are now tr'lng to
release. One of Ule bodies is wedged
In such shape that It may be neces.
sary to dismember It In order to talco
It out. " .
The men who were Injured sa ) ' that
It hns been the talk of the ship for
at least six months that the boilers
were defective. Many of them had
feared tor n long lime that. just SUCIl
an accident would happen. Olie of the
men said that a year ago last February -
ary , while the ship was at Magdalena
bay , the engineer of the cruiser New
York was sent for to Inspect the boilers -
ers , nnd he reported thnt they were
In good condition. While the vessel
was In San Francisco last year the
talk of defective boilers again arose ,
but no EtAPS were taken to remedy

them.
Other Lost Warships.
The destruction of the gunboat B U-
nlngton In San Diego harbor was an
appalling disaster. But It docs not
justify the Intimntlon that warships
nre more lIable to accidents than other
vessels. The very opposite Is true.
as the vessels of the American navy
have been singularly free from such
,
Itlsasters as are common nmonc pas.
sengor nnd merchnnt. vessels.
The story of shipwreck and dlsns.

vessel , was destro 'ed by an explosion

North CaroUnn. Nov. 4 , 1877 , nnd 100
lives were lost.
On Ule o'enlng of Jnn. 24 , 1870 , the

Drove Trade In Autographs.
Dr.V. . G. Grace , the most famous
cricketer in England , probably has
given his autograph ar. often as any
other colobrlty. At'a match not long
ago he wrote his name in the note-
boole of a little girl. A couple of
weeles later , much to his surprise , the
same lIttle Indy sh'ly sidled up to
him with the necessary documents
and the request for his autograph.
"Dut I gave it you only II. few' days
ago , " laughingly snld the veteran.
"Oh , " cnme the answer , "I chnnged
that one tor two bishops. " Dr. Grace
Inughed heartily as he replied : "Well ,
my denr , If a crlcleter Is worth two
blsbops I don't bolleve I ought to give
you another autogrnph. But your
nalvotto Is so delicious I SUPPOIIO I
