Four sailors who were scalded badly when a ship boiler burst were admitted to a local hospital yesterday morning after a 10-hour journey down the Yangtze River.

Their ship, the Overseas Yellowstone, was sailing on a trial run at the mouth of the Yangtze River when a valve malfunctioned and the boiler burst around 8:15pm on Wednesday. The four sailors suffered severe burns when boiling water gushed out.
