The body of Isaac Sachs, who was
drowned on the H. G. H. picnic, at
Daufuskie. Sunday afternoon, was re-
covered yesterday and brought to the
city. 1t was placed in a batteau and
rowed to the Market Dock, where it
was viewed by the greater part of the
West Side colony. 1t was a gruesome
picture viewed by a motley mob
Wharf rats elbowed and brushed
against weeping men and women, who
had gone to the river front expecting
to see the body of some relative lost
in the waters. Sachs had only been in
Savannah about two months. and has
no relatives south of New York. from
where he came to this city. He had
lost his life with the loved ones of
those who viewed his distorted body.
however, and the scene was one of in
tense sorrow and mourning.
The single patrolman who guards
shipping had his hands full keeping
the people back, and some of them
came near falling into the water. Ne
gro urchins crawled on their hands TO
get look at the CHASTITY picture. and
laughed and joked, while tears of sor-
row fell upon them from the eyes that
were not riveted upon the covered body
TO satisfy morbid curiosity.
The undertaker's wagon was driven
through the crowd and the people were
forced back. Sachs was clothed in the
bathing suit worn when he lost his
life off Daufuskie. He was a fine spec
linen of manhood. The remains were
placed in a box and taken at once
by Thomas HendersOns Son to Laurel

departed brother.
At midnight two other bodies were
found by a negro at Bloody Point
Beach. 1t will not be known until this
morning which of the four girls they
are. Peter Dodge is the name of the
negro who discovered the bodies, but
he was afraid to bring them to the
city without permission from the cor

house and reported the find to Mrs.
Evans. He asked her to telephone
Coroner Keller, and ask his permission
to bring the remains TO the city. DR..
Keller was notified by telephone, and
gave instructions to have the bodies
brought to the market dock. Until
their arrival il will not be known
whether the remains are those of the
Kronstadt children. or Annie Horovitz
and Leah Silverstein. The parents of
these children are anxiously awaiting
the arrival of the boat. which is ex-
pected about o'clock this morning
The drowning of Annie Kronstadt
was a particularly sad case. She was
16 years of age on Sunday, and was
celebrating her birthday when swal-
lowed by the sea. She was the last
of the doomed six to go down and
fought desperately against the fury of

with wild cry fell back exhaused, as
Morris Schinkowitz reached out to
grasp her. The man was himself fight
ing hard to keep from going down and
was only able TO touch the drowning
girls hair as she sank from view. Mrs
Kronstadt was not in the water with
her two daughters. and her grief was
heart-rending when she heard the cries

had been lost with their companions.
Wildly she rushed up and down the
beach in a mad desire to jump into the
water the follow her girls
According to Schinkowitz, who was
a member OF the party. and who came
very near losing his life, little Annie
HorOvitz was the first TO give up and
sink. She was a frail and delicate
child and the first sweep of the tide
knocked her feet from under her. The
other members of the party tried hard
to hold her. but the elements proved
stronger and she was forced TO the bot
tom The child's parents were not
with her and she was in charge of her
uncle. They were almost bereft of
their reason when told of the fatal ac-
cident, by the brother.
The remains OF Mrs. Abe Dickstein
were sent to Nashville for burial yes
terday, and were accompanied by her
husband and two little children. Dick
stein made every effort to save his
wife. and almost lost his life i'm the
futile attempt. The two little chill
dren stood on the beach and watched
mother and father battle with the tide
When the lifeless body OF Mrs. Dick
stein was taken ashore. followed by
her exhausted and heart broken hus-
band, the children cried bitterly, and
the scene was pathetic in the ex-
IRENE.
