    3. "The Kansas City Post" (Missouri) Tuesday, January 26, 1915 KANSAN SEVENTH DEAD IN WARSHIP EXPLOSION San Diego, Jan. 26. (by wireless from the U. S. cruiser San Diego, off Guaymas, Mexico.) -- The seventh death from the boiler explosion on the cruiser San Diego Thursday, occurred today. William H. MILLER, a fireman from Downs, Kas., succumbed to his injuries. Victims of the explosion could have saved themselves but stuck to their posts despite the steam so the men in the engine room might be saved. ================================================= (I have no connection with this person but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) =================================================
