It was' not his duty Took after the gas or pressure, but the captain told Wim how much pros- sure to put on. He (the captain) had told him to put on twelve atmos- pheres pressure, This was the wit- ness' third season as enginecr on the Seout. He bad filled buoys two years previous, and had pat the same pres- sure on some 'and a little more pires- sare on others. Twelve of thirtesn mospheres was the fverage pres- a er that kind of . uo, He tarted to fu on Tnesday at one o'shoek do Fup on two buoys and worked on the third for about twenty minutes when the accident happened. The gas man was looking giter the guages on both buoys that Yay. The captain kept track of the pressure. He remembered well - the pressure on the two buoys he filled as being twelve atmospheres in each. There | was five and oe atmospheres pressure of gas from last year, but the total = pressure was only twelve Steward Thomas MgPherson, the next witness, was np-towirr on private business and knew nothing of the 'ac- cident for half an heur after it hap- pened. When he left the hoat at two a'clotk, Capt. Coulliard was painting a buoy and = Frederisk Mullen "was scrubbing the side of the buoy with a wire brush; which was something he had = never seen done before. Evan iuillard was gas nian and would al- ways connect the hose with the buoys. This would have heen his {Guillard's) third season in that work. The wit- ness used to help Capt. Allison with the. records of the pressure and twelve atmospheres was - the oustomary pres- sure. Dr. W. L. Goodwin, director of the mining 'sghool, testified as to. ihe qualities of acetylene gas. The gas is, inexplosive 'unde' 'certain condi- tions. Under a pressure of less than two ajmospheres it 'fs not an explo: sive, but over two. atmospheres it 'is | explosive. The things: which will ox. | plode acetylone under' pressure are sl from a detonator, an electric spark, red heat 'antl unknown causes which seem to te 'rarely, for ex- ample, a steel filled with liquid i would be under (pressure of fiftyi@tinospheres, ex Ploded when the «sfspecock was sud denly turned and it is conceded that such action has caused similar ox- plosions. Acetyléns | is safe to use in the same sense as' dynamite ix safe and probably much safer. © If acetylene were used at a pressure of twelve atmospheres it would be safe if precautions are taken. The turning of a stop-cock with acetylene at that pressure is ordinarily safe. In mak- Ing experiments - with acetylene at very high pressure, all tanks have heen made of steel or iron, not ccp- per or brass as theso might give rise to the explosion. Purifying the gas rendered it less dangerous. The only danger which might arise from the old gas being in the buoy during the winter would be the effect Qn brass parts, if any. Various experiments were citod which showed the unre liable characteristics of acetylene, es- pecially in liquid form at pressures in the neighborhood of fifty atmospheras, the gas at twelve atmospheres' pres- sure. Unknown causes have caused acetylene to explode even when care: fully handled. He gave it as his opinion that the explosion might have been caused by imperfect. welding. The heat caused by the tearing apart of the iron might have caused the burst. ing of the buoy by explosion of the acetylene, but' {he bursting of the cylinder and the escape of the wnex- ploded gas could account for the violent explosion. The results of the explosion tally exactly with the. ex- plosion of a high explosive and would not have been éaused by a mere bursting of the buoy. Capt. Rochefort, of the Idlewyld, was there a few minutes before the explosion, talking 10 Mate Mullen. The latter had Warned a small boy to keep away from the gas buoy, say- ing they were going to make a test and it was no place for him.
