had a narrow escape from being scalded to death.
While taking out a valve
in an engine, hot water was thrown on the right side of his face, shoulder and
arm, the shoulder and arm being most severely burned, as a woolen shirt he wore
retained the heat more before he could remove it.
He will be confined to
the house for some time.
