Baard Reach Conclusion IS to
How Tragedy Occurred.
H.Y.P.&N. TUG CREW SUMMONED
Indications Are That Cable from the
crisfield Sent Little Craft With It's
Occupants to Bottom-only One
Body, That OF Fireman Wcstfall,
Found Beneath Canopy-Draggins
In Roads Continues.

with srapnel and searchlight Rear
Admiral Emory has resumed the
search for the bodies of the midship-
men and seamen who lost their lives
in the battleship Minnesota's launch
last Monday night.
Officers and men of the Atlantic
fleet were terribly disappointed yes
terday when the wrecked launch was
raised by floating derrick and only
the body OF one man, Fireman G. W.
Westfall, was found beneath the
crushed canopy frame. The diver had
said Friday night that the heads and
arms Gf three corpses were protrud
ing from beneath the canvas, and
everyone was confident that at least
nine and possibly all of the bodies
would be In the boat.
Now tho searchers are dragging
around the spot where the launch lay
and over the course supposed to have
becn.followed by the boat on her way
to the battleship Connecticut 1t is
believed that the other ten bodies
must be on the bottom near the spot
Fireman Burned to Death.
The condition of Fireman Westfall's
body indicates that he was burned
to death by steam when the water
reached his frebox. Possibly some
of the other occupants of the boat
were injured before drowning, but the
fact that ten Of the eleven bodies
are missing leads to the belief that
some, OF thee men,smust have reached
the. surface in fight for life:
