About 11 o'clock on the morning of the 14th instant, an explosion, attended with fatal consequences, occurred 01 board Messrs. Butterfield & Swire's stean launch Zug. The launch was close to the Praya near the City Hall, and was going astern at the time, when the exhaust pipe burat and filled the engine-room with steam, killing the No. 1 engineer, Chung Asu, severely scalding another, and more or less injuring four other firemen on board. As none of those on board attempted to cly anything, the launch into the Praya Wail, when all the men left her, jumping on' to the wall, bringing the engineer who was killed with them. As soon as the report of the accident reached the Central Station, ambulances ut down to the Praya and the most seriously injured man was sent to the Government Civil Hospitel, and the engineer who was killed was removed in a dead box to the Mortuary. As soon as the launch reached the Prays, all the crew deserted her, and it is probable that some further accident would have occurred had it not beau fur the presence-of-mind of two meu-of-war's men, Robert Carlson and Thomas Flagherty, who jumped on board the deserted launch, at considerable risk, stopped the engines, drew the fires, and let off the steam. It appears from the information supplied by these men that the cause of the disaster was want of water in the boilers. We hear that Carlson and Flagherty have been rewarded for their valuable services by a present from the owners of the Tug of $2 each!—China Mail.
