Fragmented text notes a radio test flight experiment, mentioning reporters, terminology, and a plan to describe observations.

Newport August 19 At least thirty eight people died and two were seriously burned when a steamer operating near Newport Massachusetts exploded as it neared the river shore. The vessel was carrying many families and workers from nearby towns on an excursion. Passengers described a sudden boiler rupture with a rush of steam that forced people toward the decks. Naval boats raced to the scene and rescued survivors while the ship settled and sank near the harbor. Captain Thomas McVex and Captain Ben A Thowse led the response as engineers fought the flames and attempted to stabilise the wreckage.
A fragmentary report describes a shipboard disaster with steam enveloping parts of the vessel and many victims unable to react.
