ya Sank Off Staten Isl- and, Encountered the Dangerous Explosive DIVER MAKES DISCOVERY. Divers who have been trying to re- over the machinery of the tugboat | Jacob Kuper, which was blown to ’ pieces off Staten Island Aug. 14, kill- ing four men, made the startling an- nouncement to-day that the boat was ‘blown up by striking a submarine torpedo. Boller Did Not Explode. It was at first supposed that the ’ explosion was caused by the burst- sf Ing of the tug’s boiler. But divers sent down to examine the remains of the wreck say that the boller did Bot explode and that the wreck was caused by a collision with a stray Submarine mine. ary The report of the engineer of the Birt Kuper, who, with the pilot, was the ., only member of the crew to escape, ‘was proof to the owners that the tug’s boilers were not at fault. The engineer reported under oath that at the moment of tie explosion there ‘was plenty of water in the boiler and that the steam was at a reducea pres- sure. Menace to Shipping. Harbor men say that the submarine ine may be one of a number which fwere placed In the bay during the Span- fsh-American war and which floated ‘awiy from their moorings and were never recovered. Some time ago two submarine torpe- does, fully primed, floated ashore near G@eabright, N. J. Had they come !n eontact with any of the big ocean liners coming up from Sandy Hook the ex- plosion and loss of life sure to result ‘would have been appalling. ‘Phe complete destruction of the Kuper {ndicates what would have been the fate @f @ larger vessel, had it encountered the deadly floating peril which blew the tugboat to atoms, Shipping masters were @ppalled to-day on learning the reat eause of the disaster to the Kuper. The Kuper was blown to splinters, four of its crew being killed outright and two escaping with their lives oniy Decause they were lifted through the alr and landed on a cotton-ladened tug. Evidence of Exterior Force, When the divers of the Merritt & Chapman Wrecking Co. examined the wreck they found ample evidence that the Kuper’s boiler had not been torn away by the force of an internal explo- sion. The fire-box was Intact, 6o was the engine, which must have been de- stroyed if the boiler had expioded. ‘The bow of the tugboat was smashed fim as if by some terrific outside source. “From the investigation w: completed,” sald Mr. Kuper to- jove the tag was blown up by contact fwith a drifting torpedo. 1 cannot un- @erstand the smashing in of the bow of “Tugboat Kuper, Which} NEW and po!
