Search for More Bodies.
Little or no progress in the work OF
rescue was made aboard the Benning-
ton today The water had risen still
higher in the holds and it was impos-
sible to reach the bodies known to be
hidden beneath the decks. 1t is be-
Heved at least fifteen bodies will be
found in the decks. A fire tug with
powerful pump will be used to empty
the hold of water and give the worker!
an opportunity to reach the dead
Commander Young today requested
Chief of Police Thomas to arrest al
members of the Benington's crew who
NAV be ashore without pass. Ii
this way Commander Young hopes L
arrive at correct estimate OF th'
missing as well as to prevent deser
tons.
Commander Young expressed I'M
oninion that there was a weak spo
in one of the boilers, but said Their
hat been no visible defects so FAR a
he knew.
The men who were injured tell
different story. Thsy say II has beel
the talk of the ship for at least 81
months that the boilers were defective
