	Explosions in Warships During the War
		HMS Glatton was built for a foreign Government, and differed in design from any of our own ships in that the magazines and shell rooms for the two amidship 6-inch turrets were placed between the engine room and after boiler room, without any air spacing between.
		The wood lining of the magazine bulkhead in HMS Gorgon was removed, and it was found that the paint on the magazine side of the bulkhead was flened and blistered in three distinct and separate places, these places being opposite the pocket used for clinker and ash in the stokehold.
		This was in HMS Gorgon, and as HMS Glatton was built and completed at the same time and by the same firm, it is impossible to avoid the inference that the same condition of affairs had probably existed in the latter ship.
