"A MUTE Nj
Remains of Wrecked Sailors Washed
Up by Inc Waves.

SP ny ~
NEw York, Dec. 6.-[Special Telegram to
THE BEE. l--Mute evidence of a recent ma
rine tragedy was washed up by the waves
on the beach opposite Spermacite Cove, N
j., life saving station today. 1t consisted Of
two human lower limbs encased in heavy
leather boots of foreign manufacture, such
rs are worn by seafaring men. The flesh on
the limbs was ragged and torn and had APP
parently been eaten off by sharks teeth. On
the feet were heavy thick wooden socks OF
home make and thick soles were
tackled to the boots. The remnants
told of the loss of two men. The
limbs were right and left respectively of
men OF different build. The right leg and
foot was that Of a boy or II very small built
man, and tho other fragment of humanity
had been a part of q good sized man. Two
hip bones were also picked up on the beach.
The discovery was associated in shipping
circles today with the loss of the bark Ger
mania on the coast off Long Branch one week
ago last Wednesday night. Theodore Kruger,
the New York agent OF the Germania, was
inclined to this BELIEF. He recognized the
description of the boots on the limbs US like
those worn by the seaman on the Germania.
