Olsen and Barter
Were Found
Yesterday.
LOCATE OTHERS

The bodies of Edward ]. Olsen and
Harry P. Barter, two of the victims
of last Wednesday nights fatality,
were recovered by Garret v. Evans
and a party in his auxiliary yacht
yesterday afternoon. They also
brought the bodies of the other two
to the surface, but they slipped off
before they could get them into the
boat. The party placed buoy at
that point, and, as the bodies were
quite heavy, it was believed that they
would remain where they were until
today The Evans boat was taken
down again this morning, as well as
others, to continue the effort to get
the remains of Floyd McHose and
Charles Wickberg.
The body of Olsen was landed about
A o'clock, and Barter's at g. The
Evans party did not relax their vigil
ance, but kept up the search, turn
ing the bodies over to other boats to
be brought ashore. The Olsen body
was brought in by a party in the
Rossi launch, "Ronomor," and Bar
ter's was brought to land by James
Tooker In the Evans boat were Mr.
IINduo, NlCChCi, 0SOl 81 0CbdAicH
and John McClymont.
A large number of boats were out
all day yesterday and several had
been over the spot where the Evans
party found the bodies. The method
which proved successful was the use
of long pipe with hooks attached,
which being dragged along the bot
tom, caught in the clothing.
The watch in Olsen's pocket was
found to have stopped at S14 O'Clock.
The body was viewed by Coroner
Bishop and permit given for it's re-
moval to Flynn & Mullen's under
taking parlors.
Judging from the amount of cloth
ing found on the bodies, it was evi-
dent that they had made a desperate
effort to relieve themselves of some
of it while in the water. Barter, it
was found, had succeeded in remov-
ing his overcoat and sweater Olsen
had loosened some of his clothing,
but was not able to get it off.
The wire off of the engine was
picked up by party of young men
Saturday afternoon in the Androvette
boat. 1t was charred considerably
A number of boats went out again
early this morning to search for the
two remaining bodies.
