persons two of whom were dead, and at IL
o'clock there came two other boats; q men
and one woman reached Taresco Island in two
boats The st. Agnes boat subsequently pick
ed up the bodies of four men, two women and
little boy. One man was found at Smith s
late hour of the day three bodies, one female,
were found. Forty-three persons are known to
have been saved. Nineteen bodies have been
recovered from The sea. A violent sea is still
beating on the merciless shoals and prevents
the rendering of efficient aid. When finally the
boats reached the neighborhood of Retarrarie
ledge the last mast of the Schiller went over
board, and scores of people who were cllnglng
lit were drowned after having endured the
most agonizing suspense during the night. The
Marc, trading between Scilly and Penzahce,

of cargo. No such disaster as the present has
happened on the Cornish coast since the wreck
of the John May in 1855, when 200 lives were
lost.
