In Johnny Tremain Describe the accident that took place in the shop on the sabbath?

Against the law, Johnny was working on the Sabbath, or Sunday. He was making a silver sugar basin for John Hancock because Mrs. Lapham wanted to deliver it on time for a change. Johnny asked Dusty for a ladle, and handed him the one with a crack in it. As it was dipped in boiling silver, it spilled onto the mantle, and Johnny slipped and his hand, trying to grab a hold of something, fell onto the mantle with burning liquid silver. He recovered in the Lapham's birth and death room and cared for by a midwife. When his hand was unwrapped, they found that his thumb was connected to his palm, so he couldn't work as a silversmith apprentice anymore.
