Gas Explosion Disaster.

To the Editor,

Hongkong Telegraph.

Sir,-Now that the jury's verdict

In respect to the above disaster hns been published and the matter closed from an official standpoint, I think thore will be no harm, but may be good, in an outsider's opin lon on the cause of the explosion.

During the examination of wit- nessco, I saw It mentioned that certain manhole cover was blown off an underground nullah by a terrific force, which I presume must have been within this nullah, or sewer, and which may have been the first explosion in the series. It seems very obvious to me that this gives the key to the whole disaster, as there could not be an explosion underground without there was something there which would ex plode. I have known of leakages In guspipes, both above and under had ground, so, supposing there been a considerable leakage from one of the gasmaine Into this nullah, and a cigarette-end, match, eracker, etc., caused it to ignite, and the consequent terrifle concus- sion to some extent, found its way Into the gas-container, causing a sudden extra pressure, which took the line of least resistance and blew the faulty plate off (out- warda).

If there is anyone who feels in- clined to ridicule the above suggès- tion, will ho kindly prove to me that am quite wrong in my ideas, by going to the said man-hole some days after the holder has been re- paired and re-charged, with a`naked light to see what happens?
