TILE LIST OF THE DEAD.

1t was thought for some time that of the twenty
eight men who in the tunnel at the time OF the
disaster eight had been fortunate enough to make
their escape but it was finally learned that one
man reported as saved had been lost, and that the
number OF the lost was twenty-one. The unfortu-
nate men were Swedes, Danes and 1rishmen in
great part. The sombre character of the accident
is somewhat relieved bv the fact that only few of
the dead men were married.
