III m an omen boat under the most cruel
II conditions of wind and weather. Az an
81 carly hour today nearly 70 bodies had

mind late last night showed plainly the
"A effects of the awful experiences
through which he had passed That
any one should have been able to SO
through these terrible hours of Tues
day morning. when the temperature
was at zero. and west gale was hurl-
ing frozen spray into the little boats,
was perhaps one Of the most surpris-
Ing features OF the disaster.
The LarchmOnt left Providence well

mated al about 50, and passenger list
o. about 10, but an accurate count Is
Impossible at present. Cities and towns

that totals nearly 70. and II Is believed
i.rioday will bring material additions

A conservative estimate therefore
GAe number who lost their lives was
aced early today at $50.
