water and tenderly composed. She was

at the point 4 thorough search of the
wreck was then made by Divers
McDemOt. Ernshaw and BOwtiche. who re-
ported that they had carefully examined
the hold about the machinery, under the
roof and all around as far as they could
reach without relaxing their grip on the
timbers. and no more bodies could be found.
They could not go beyond reach because
TIE MUD WAS TOO DEEP
and soft to walk in. They described
the boat as stuck in the mud bot

the fact that she filled and sank almost in

by the further fact that Capt. Mcdonald
was the best swimmer on the lake, if not
in the state, While the Others We're also eX-

skill could stem the fury of the storm at
that fateful point, where the counter cur
rents of air and water appear TO have come
in conflict 1t having been decided by the
divers that no further bodies could be re-
covered through their services, the grap-
piers in the small boats reSOlutely resumed
work, and again the FaulkhauSer
brothers were rewarded for their perse-
verance and skill iii securing the remains
Of Frank Rand some ninety feet from the
barge, and near where they had recovered
Mir. Rand and Mary Rand in the morning.
Franks remains, like all of those taken
from the bottom, were covered with mud,
but when dressed presented a calm and
peaceful expression. The signal was
given. and a small steamer came alongside
and conveyed the body to the Breezy Point
boat house, Just as seven caskets We're
being taken from Eugene Wilson's boat,
the Mana. The awful nature of the
catastrophe here forced itself heavily upon
every mind and deep silence fell
| upon the workers and the spectators
on that grief-stricken shore, under the
very shadow of the beautiful cottage on the
hill where the Coyllendalls and Rands had
held their last happy reunion in life on that
fatefUl Sunday.
The remains of young Rand having been
cared for and The casllets landed the Mana

Langdon had just
ARRIVED WITH DYNAMITE.
Some delay was experienced in getting it
ready and some doubts being expressed as
to its efficiency Mr.. Truesdale was dis
patched to the telegraph station to request
Gen. Terry to send out two heavy pieces of
ordnance, manned, to fire few rounds 70,
| if possible, float the remaining four bodies
to the surface. Every method that could
be suggested was adopted for fear the
heavy current would drift the mud upon
the remains so they never could be raised.
1t was thought that some Of the bodies
might possibly be lying under the boat, and

DECIDED TO RAISE IT.
Capt. Ernshaw made another dive and
made fast a line to the bow. The rope was
fastened to the City of st. Louis, but broke
under the strain when the steamer COM

by the men named. At o'clock it was de-
