work of rescuing the bodies of the un-
fortunate men. When night overlook

It is thought by many that at least
four unknown men are buried In the

and some who were seen carrying out
goods are supposed to have gone down.
This belief can only be verified by a
thorough search among the ruins.
The funeral of the men recovered will
take place tomorrow. The town is in
deep sorrow. The men were all born
and raised here.
