 NEW BEDFORD, Jan. 2l.-The town is
 full of people looking for bodies of
 reistises and friends Iost by the wrecked
 steamer City of Columbus. There has
 been deplorsble lack of system in re-
 gard to the disposal of bodies picked up
 at various points along the coast; at | daylight this morning several news paper correspondents chartered the tug Nellie, for cruise of Gayhead, with the
 object of boarding the wreck, and
 making landing at Gayhead, which | latter point had not been visited.
 Several gentlemen who had lost relati- yes by the disaster accepted invitations
 to go on the Nellie. By the time Nellie had run to within a cannon's shot of the 1 wreck the snow changed to sleet; the
 wind began blowing fiercely, from the | north northeast, and 1t was found im- possible to approach within a quarter of 1 a mile of the City of Columbus, owing to the fact that the ledge forming the Devils Bridge, extend that distance to the eastward of the wreck. Nellie sEirted the buoy on the east and ran within an eighth of mile of the wharf landing at Gayhead light. The sea was running so high that the tug could not approach the wharf, and the yawl wa s launched in which some correspondents and visitors set out for Gayhead. It was only with great difficulty that the party landed as the waves ran twenty feet high and dashed over the wharf The party proceeded to the light house. where it was ascertRined that ten per sons had landed safely from the wreck, all Of whom were alive and under the circumstances doing well. A meeting house, a delapid8ted and storm beaten church in one of the widest places on the coast, was visited. There were found five bodies, four men and one woman. Enc party then ,Tl ha aff, lating their experiences the correspond l ents, visitors and others, guided by the | natives and half breeds, started off to | various points in the vicinity where bod | les have been placed after being picked | up by the natives along the beach. The | first place visited was to the beach, | where 1t was reported a number of bod | ies were lying. The first victim, Rev | Mr. Dunning, of Lawrence, recognized | the body as that of his brother-in-laW, Henry Bachelder. The party then con tinue1 on the barren waste until they | reached a cabin, where the remains of | Mrs. Belyea were found, horribly muti- lated from contact with wreckage and | rocks The body of Mrs. Atkinson was | als1 found. There were five other bod I les in the hut, four men and one woman, unidentified. The party then proceeded | along the beach back to Grayhead light. | Along this stretch were nine corpses, all | more or less dis6gured and with faces I wearing haunting looks of horror; none | were identified The bodies of Mrs | BelyoR, Mrs. Atkinson and Kellogg and | Batchelder were conveyed in an OK cart | to boat and put aboard the tug. Upon the arrival of the tug Nellie at New Bedford the bodies were conveyed to | the undertaker's and will be sent to Bos- | ton on the train. Several bodies were | sent to Grayhead because of the neces- sity of the tug making a safer harbor, owing to the gale.
