SIx bodies were taken out Of one pile
rubbish not eight feet square tins morn

Stacking up of the animate and mani

had closed over them.
Dr. -. +. Foster, who has been here
all day, is of the opinion that
most OF the victims We're killed by
coming IN violent contact with objects
in the river and not 10y drowning.
Three hundred bodies have been re-
covered today. j. G.. Gill and thirty
