ly row In the public ball. and Coroner
Fuller is holding inquests. All the bodies
are terribly battered and blood stains be-
spatter the rocks and wreckage.
The first body was found at daylight
this morning, when the zinc life boat
which was supposed by the survivors OF
the first boat to have swamped was dis.
covered on the shore. The tfolepins wers
broken.

all evidently come ashore In the life boat
and were killed on striking the beach,
not one escaping

where they were left when the mountain
Gus seas receded The remains SO far

The watches In the pockets OF two OF

respectively.
1t is a coincidence that the ship Peter
Stewart, was wrecked on this shore a few
years ago, In the month of July and q
boat load Of men came in where the hion-
ticello boat was found Half Of the
men were dead before this boat touched
