I was performing some landings with the student to a full stop on Runway 9 at SIG. On our third attempt; we experienced engine power loss on short final (about 150 -100 FT above the runway). It was a hard landing; and I told the student that I had the flight control and to please monitor the frequency. I transmitted on the frequency stating that we have a power plant power loss and that the engine quit all traffic to be advised. I attempted to restart the engine; but after two failed trials; it didn't start; so I transmitted one more time on the CTAF our situation and called to notify the emergency. My student and I saw a black multi-engine prop airplane taxiing rather quickly to Runway 9. I shut down the unnecessary equipment to conserved energy (keeping the strobes; position; and landing lights on.) Then we saw the black aircraft performing a back taxi on Runway 9 from B1. I told the student to keep transmitting on the frequency; I got out of the plane; told him to flash the landing lights; but the aircraft was on full power and on takeoff roll. I manage to pull the plane off the runway and off to the grass. The plane missed our tail at about 5-10 FT. It was a really close call. FBO ground personnel and Port Authorities saw us and came by to our help.

While an instructor and student were waiting for assistance on CTAF SIG Runway 9 edge following an engine failure on final; a light twin pilot; who did not hear their transmissions; took off and passed nearly directly over their disabled aircraft.
