ascertained tonight eight persons lost
their lives. There were thirty-two
persons on one yacht of whom seven
were lost and twelve on the other,
all of whom but one were saved.
That no more fell victims to the
rough sea was due to the heroism Of
Captain Henry s. Ludlow, of the
Hereford Inlet life saving station, and
crew of five men, 1t was at first
thought that from fourteen to twenty
persons had been lost, but after Al
investigation, the coroner decided to-
night that he believed eight were lost.
