When the boiler of a steatriboat , ex-

men acknowledge at once that the mei•

fixed leeks of natnre ; though ignorance
or disregai d. of thew fixed lewsi on the
part of thote in charge of the boiler, lias
allowed the aceident to occur. Efforts

are malefic, understand those lass s, end
to net inlaccordance with them, that the

able to the wells in a Particular locali y,

enquiry. It was stated at the inqu st,
