Another mournful procession, with three more bobs.,
has just entered the workhouse, but they have not yetbou
identified. The entrance to the workhouse has teen con,
Pletely blocked up all the morning by persons who have
relatives missing, the scenes of distress being constantly
exhibited were of a very painful nature. As the
bodies are brought in they are laid aide by side
on mattresses, and the people outside are thus let in a
dozen at a time for the purposes of identification. As
may be supposed the most painful scenes take place es
each body becoming identified, in most eases by the
mother, the wife, or the sister.
Up to this hour the total number of bodies re•
covered has been twenty-five, of whom two are lyin4
at St. Mary's Hospital, and the remainder A the
workhouse. Those taken to the hospital last evening sub
faring from cold and exhaustion are all going on well.
From an early hour this morning the park has be a
' crowded with people of all classes in life, some anxious
about missing friends, but the majority from curiosity to
witness the dragging for the bodies. In most of the cases
of the bodies recovered the arms are stretched upward'.
as if the unfortunate deceased had heart vainly endeavour
ing to save themselves by clutching at the ir.e.
About 12 o'clock the crowds of people v.-
had hitherto been kept out of the ende.l
overpowered the few police on duty at the gates. n;
thousands rushed in all directions, necessarily bine& I
the work of humanity in progress.
Despite the warning offered by the catastrophe of ye“
tenlay several foolhardy persons this morning ventund sac
the ice in the part where it bad not broken through y0t...•
day, but the cries and hootings of the people 60.
shamed them off again. In proof of how little some Peol'''
regard the warning afforded them, it is stated th
while the people were struggling in the wato
yesterday there were actually a number of U"
skating on that portion of the ice adjacent to dr
scene of the accident which had scot broken until f.r
police compelled them to desist.

The dragging for the bodies will be continued tiU
this day and will be resumed again to-morrow morning
it is certain there are more bodies still at the bottoe •
the water, many persons being yet missing who •"
known to have been on the ice at the time of itl
ins up.
The inquest will he opened this evening at 5 o'clock in
the board-room of the workhouse, but nothing
ther will be done than to take the formal identiticati f
the bodies.
