Recovery OF Bodies from the Wreck OF
the Atlantic.
HALIFAX, April Fourteen bodies
were recovered yesterday, all of them
by graphing. To-day, the weather be-
ing favorable, the divers worked to ad-
vantage in finding bodies, and twenty
seven, all apparently steeKage passen-
gers. Many of them had considerable
sums of money. One, whose name ap-
pears from papers found in his pocket,
exchange for two hundred pounds, and
divers crews number about sixty
uncoffined ON shore are those found to-
day, all the others having been buried
or cOfiined ready for burial. Those
recognized by prayer-books, etc., as
Roman Catholics were taken to Terrence
Bay, and buried in the Catholic
cemetery. The remainder have been
buried in the Episcopal cemetery at
Prospect. Some of the bodies brought
up to-day showed that they died by
suffocation, and not by drowning. AS
the bodies are brought up by divers they
are placed in a boat under charge of
George Lingard, Justice of the peace,
and conveyed to Hillside, on Ryan's
island, where Edmund Ryan, another
magistrate, receives them and takes
from them all the money
and valuables, noting them in
book with such Identification as can be
found on the persons. The bodies of
Mrs. Davidson and her daughter were
found within short time of each other.
There was found on Miss Davidson a
letter, sewed to her dress, from her
mother, advising her in case or any un-
forseen occurrence taking her (the
mother) away, to take possess
sion of all her money and
letters of credit, and proceed
with all speed to San Francisco and in
quire for Mr.. Mcdonald, who would
send her to her uncle, l.. 81. TempIeby,
of California. On the body of Mrs. Da-
wilson was found and put into the
hands of Edmond Ryan, at Lower Pros
pect, the following: lightweight pounds
of gold, eighteen dollars in eur
rency, and a letter of credit for
one hundred and fifty pounds from
London and the County banking
company, signed by NJ. Howard and
Manager Brown, on Falkner, Belle &
Co., of San Francisco. Its number is
7l9l. The bodies of Mrs. and Miss
Davidson are already sealed in
metallic coffins, and wait the advice
of friends as to what disposal be made
of them. 1t is expected that more bodies
of the cabin passengers will be recovered.
One diver has been detailed specially to
search the cabin.
The report of vessel being ashore at
Spay harbOr is not likely to be correct
Communication with that place could
not be obtained to-day. Vessels which
passed there a day or two ago say there
was an old wreck there which drifted
ashore sometime ago, and men were
breaking it up. Probably the schooner
which made the report saw the wreck at
adistance and was mistaken. Four men
belonging to Halifax picked up bale of
silk, and appropriated and sold part of
it. The customs authorities recovered
most OF the silk, and arrested one man.
Had the men given up the silk, they
would have been entitled to two hum
dred pounds salvage. The customs
officers found some silks in crates of
crockery ware, showing the intention to
smuggle them into New York.
