Sciota, some in search of the missing loved
ones, others from curiosity One dead body
mas been recovered On the Ohio side and two
sodies of boys are reported near Wellsburg.
Two boys were picked up on the Virginia side
who had swan mile and a half below the
place of the accident. They say about fifty
when the boat sank and many of these are
probably drowned. Capt. Thomas, of the
Sciota, is crazed with grief at the loss of his
500 and benumbed with cold from fruitess
search in the watery cabin for his body, which
has since been found at Brilliant Station. The
death roll will probably exceed fifty. There
are more than this number missing and all
chances of escape are heard from. Hundreds
of persons from Wellsville and East Liverpool
went down to the scene of the dieaster this
morning. Following is the

Wheeling
WHEELING, W. Va, July 5.-The scene at
sie wreck of the Sciota to day almost beggars
description. The anguish OF those looking
for lost ones was terrible, being added to the
walls and sobs of those bending over the IMAM
Fmsts forms of dead loved ones recovered
from the water. Associated Press reporters
arrived at the scene at noon, at which time
only nine bodies had been recovered The banks
'of the river were lined with people, making a
crowd of perhaps 1900.
William Mullholland, WelIsyilie, o., under
whose auspices the excursion on the i'll fated
Sciosa was given, said that the boat took
about 200 passengers at East Liverpool and
80 at Wellsville. The boat was very much
crowded and refused 70 stop at other points
where tickets had been sold. Taking his
statement with others it is safe to say that
$40 souls were on board at the time of the
collision.
Capt Smith, of M.rtinsberry, who was on
The John LOOMS, says that when some dis.
'tance from the Sciota he noticed tina. the
boats were going to come together and made
his preparations for the shock Both steamers
had on full head of steam. The LOOMS was
going down stream at the rate of
fifteen miles per hour and the Sciota at the
rate of fourteen miles. 1t seems to be the pre-.
vailing opinion that the collision resulted
from misunderstanding or confusion of
signals.
Up TO to 10 O'Clock this evening ten bodies
4lad been recovered.
