BLOCK ISLAND, R. l., Feb. 10
The recovery of the bodies Of the VIC

ceedd slowly during the night. Up
to s o'clock this morning 81 bodies
had been gathered in.
The list of survivors still stood at
nineteen. Just how many persons
lost their lives may never be ascer-
tained, because of the loss Of the
passenger list. The Larchmont
crew is estimated at so and the pas
senger list is estimated at from 175
to 200.
Hundred and Fifty Lost.
A conservative estimate Of the
number who lost their lives places It
at $50. onesof the ships onicers
states the Larchmont carried eight
life boats and four life RATS. It is
believed I'VE of these boats and one
raft are accounted for. Little hope
is felt that the occupants Of the life
boats and RATS survived the fearful
cold. which moderated but slightly
during the night. Only two women

PROTEST ID PRES. NELLEN COMMUTERS COMPLAIN Object to the Withdrawal of
 the Early Train from Bridgeport.

LA petition has been circulated and signed by nearly 100 commuters be- tween this city and points on the New York division to Bridgeport to have the train which leaves Bridgeport at b:59 every week day morning and stops at all stations continued in the winter schedule. It came out unoffi- cially few days ago that when the fall timetable goes into effect next month this train will be discontinued. The commuters had nothing direct from the higher officials of the road on the matter, but Friday morning it Is said a petition was sent through the train and about 100 persons put their names to 1t. This petition, according to the intention of the commuters, was to be forwarded to President Mel len and 1t asked that he continue this train in service.
 This is the only train operated by the railroad which will bring the daily riders into this city before ' o'clock and some of them assert that 1t is quite necessary in their business that they get here before that hour. The trolley service, they say, Is too slow, on the Bridgeport line to give them a reasonably good service and they pro- test quite vigorously against the com- pany compelling them to wait until the next train which arrives here at 7:25 a. m. A passenger official of the rail- road, in confirming the statement that this train will be withdrawn next month, said that while appearances might indicate that the accommoda- tion was a payer such was not the fact. He stated that a majority of the riders were dead heads, railroad em- ployes, etc, who travel on passes.
 A few years ago this same train was removed. Protests were entered with the management and after a while the service was restored.
