into port today with her forward deck
shattered. her funnel not upon the
deck and the story of a boiler explo
sion' on board last Wednesday mmn'
ing. which caused the instant death
of seven members of the crew and
the serious injury of another. The
exploding holler was known as the
auxiliary and supplied steam to the
various hoisting engines, steam steer-
ing gear, etc. The Vaidlvia was our
lying bananas and other fruit for New
York under contract and it was decld
ed when off Hatteras last Wednesday
to steam from the auxiliary boiler into
the main steam pipes to help out in
making the speed necessary to con
tract requirements and to save the
perishable cargo. All through the
loading ports in the West Indies It Is
said the auxiliary boiler had been
worfklug with 80 to 100 pounds of
steam whereas justbefore the explo
also occurred the steam bauge show-
ed a pressure only 35 pounds. This
was being Increased by force in the
draught when suddenly there came a
“puff" as it was described today and
seven lay dead in the oompanionway

The names of the dead were:

the ship, the boiler which had caused
the trouble having been located on the
main deck just forward of the big fun
not loading from the main battery of
boilers. The telegraph lines had beer
broken so Captain Kruger sent his
quartermaster to the engine room to
have the engine stopped. The steer-
ing gear had also become deranged
and the ship had begun to swing in a
big circle. The first and second of
floors of the ship had gone to their
posts and it is said that very soon af-
ter the explosion occurred the vessel
was standing to and the injured were
being cared for and the dead being
collected for burial. Repairs were
soon begun and when canvass had
been rigged up for draught purposes
in places of the broken stack, the ship
was headed for Norfolk, the Idea being
to care for the injured there“
Arriving off the Virginia Capes the
weather was too heavy to make them
out and Capt. Kruger kept on for New
York. The Vnidivia wa smet at Pier

who had been on a business tour or
the West Indies. Mr. Boys. who for»
meriy was a lieutenant in the United
States Navy. having resigned some
five years ago to accept a position
with the American~Chlna Develop-
ment Company, joined the Valdivia at
Jeremie, Hayii, where the ship called
on February 9. The last stop made
by the big furiter was at Inaugua. in
the Bahamas on February 10. She
then headed for New York under all
possible speed and it was just three
days later, Wednesday. Feb. 13, when
the explosion occurred.
Mr Roys was standing not far from
the boiler talking with the supercnrgo
when the boiler burst. He was knock-
ed down but not hur.i He and the
supercargo helped the first onlcer to
the cabin, where they dressed his
wounds. He had been hit by flying
pieces of steel. Mr. Boys today com-
Imended Captain Kruger and the other
cars of the Valdivia in the highest
terms for the discipline which was
maintained on board the vessel In the
hour of trouble.
“There was no confusion. " said Mr.
Boys, “but. everywhere a rigid atten-
tion to duty. The second onlcor saw
