loaded or unloaded exceeds in the case of gunpowder half a ton, and in the
case of any other explosive the prescribed amount, any accident by explosion
or by fire, the owner or master of such carriage, ship, or boat, and the owner
of the explosive conveyed therein or being loaded or unloaded therefrom, or
one of them, shall forthwith send or cause to be sent notice of such accident,
and of the loss of life or personal injury, if any, occasioned thereby, to the
Secretary of State.

Every such occupier, owner, or master as aforesaid who fails to comply with
