LISBON, Oct 29. The bodies of the
victims OF the Roumania wreck are being
washed ashore at Cape Caryoclre. Most
of the bodies are i'll night attire, show
ing that the unfortunates were aroused
from sleep only to encounter death 10
the terrible storm. The sea is still rup-
ming heavily, and it is impossible to ap-
proach the wreck, which lies IN a most
dangerous situation, and shows signs of
rapidly going to pieces. The cargo and
other wreckage from the vessel is
floating about in the vicinity.
Much of it has been washed ashore
and seized by the inhabitants of that
region, some of whom are little better
than pirates. and look upon the wreck
Of vessel ca their coast as God seu7
for their special benefit. The latest in
formation places the number of those
who perished at 113 and that nine per
sons were saved. Among the passengers
were many British officers, with their
families returning TO India from visits
10 England, one of the passengers was
Lady Johnson, wife of Sir Henry John
son, and daughter, of Thomas Dyson,
Esquire, of Bengal. a dispatch received
from the scene Of the wreck says thatCap
tain Young refused u leave the Roumania
and perished with the vessel, He showed
extraordinary GOODNESS during the efforts
to save the passengers ana was noblY
seconded by the subordinate officers.
Some Of the crew behaved in a cOwaT1l :
manner, but most Of them 0beyed orders
faithfully. The British officers on board
gave precedence in all instances, to the
women and children when it came to a
question Of rescue. Many of the pa9sen-
gers were asleep when the striking If the
vessel gave notica OF danger and rushed &
from their cabins without having tine to
dress, while, during the excitement that
| followed. there was no opportunity.
The women and children were kept un
der shelter until the torrents Of aatel
! pouring over the vessel threatened tc
swamp the saloon. Then they were
taken out On deck and ever effort wa'
made to prevent them from being washet
overheard But the tremendous seas
however. carried number Of ladies ans
little children to d watery grave whit
| others perised in the boats.
