25 BODIES oFyICTIMs RECOVERED
shore for Ten Miles strewn with
wreckage OF Hull and Cargo OF
the City of Monticello.

Yarmouth, N. s., Nov. l4.-The
shore OF this country for 10 miles east
and west is utrewn with the wreckage
OF the hull and cargo OF the steamer
City OF Monticello, which foundered
Saturday morning, and 20 bodies oil
victims Of the disaster have been reoov-
cred from the sea, which is still raging
with terrific fury. Many people have
assembled at Rockville. near where
the first body came ashore, and num-
erous relatives of members Of the crew,
who nearly all belonged to points on
this coast, have arrived to identity the
dead.
The bodies were arranged in a room
Ia the public hall, and the coroner
who held the inquest gave an opinion
Of accidental drowning. All the bodies
are terribly battered.
The first body was found at day
light, when the zinc lifeboat, which
was supposed by the survivors OF the
first boat to have been swamped, was
discovered on the shore. A few yards
distant were the bodies OF MIR. Ell
bridge, passenger; Second Engineer
Poole; MIR. Fripp, traveller, OF st.
John, N. B., and the body OF seaman.
All four had life belts around them.
AT short inter walls along the beach Ii
more bodies were found, making 10 dis
covered up to noon today. They had
all evidently come ashore in the life
boat, and we're killed ON striking the
beach, not one escaping.
The watches in the pockets OF two OF
the men stopped at l2;4b and lz;zO
O'Clock, respectively.
The body OF Captain Harding, OF the
Monticello, was found at Picnic Point
encircled with life belt and fully
dressed
II is a coincidence that the shiI
Peter Stewart was wrecked of this
shore a few years ago in the month o
July, and boat load OF men came II
where the Monticello's boat was found
Half OF the men were dead before th'
boat touched the land and many be
lieye the same is true OF those IN thu
Monticellos boat. The fury Of the sur
is appalling in this region.
The body of o. N. Coleman, com
meroial traveller, who was not pre-
viously known TO have been on boar'
the Monticello, has been washed ashor
and identified. He represented Ham
iltcn, Ont, jewelry firm, and carried
samples worth $4,000. One trunl
has been found.
Wreckage of all kinds litters tn
shore--boxes, barrels, pieces OF ship
boats and parts OF the superstructur
OF the steamer. James Ball, mef
chant OF Yarmouth, who was suppose

In figuring out the total loss OF lie, .
