No one in New Britain has been able
to give a reason for his need of the
bonds, as members of his family. his fell
low employees in the bank. and his part
ner in an outside business enterprise, de-
clare that they never knew of any speeu-
lative dealings on his port. That he was
interested IN some sort o. outside Invest

head. A third schooner and then fourth
sailed in, each with a halfmasted flag.
As soon as the fishermen We're within
hailing distance the captains shouted
their news ashore. They had gathered in
twenty-five bodies, two of them the
bodies of women.
The little life saving stations were once
more turned into morgues as on yes
terday. the surfboats were run out and
the dead were placed on the floor, side
by side. to await the arrival of another
steamer to carry them to Providence.
The bodies brought in this afternoon
were with one exception fully clothed
and in addition had life preservers
strapped to them. fact leads to the be-
lief that the victims, unlike the others
who dropped ashore. had remained on
board the Inflated steamer long enough
to fasten the life belts about them.

passengers at from 50 to TO- From some
OF the surviving officers 1t was learned
that the Larchmont carried a crew of
rorty-five men, of whom only ten are
accounted for. This means a total of

confidence that none of the injured is
likely to succumb.
One of the sh p's officers stated that the
Larchmont carried eight life boats and
four life RATS. At o'clock today 1t was
believed that five of these boats and one
raft had been accounted for.
There are only two women among the
survivors. Mrs. Harris Feldman Of New
York and Miss Sadie Gallup of Boston.
During the night the coast guards from
the two life saving stations, aided by a
large number OF the populace. patrolled
the beach and on the water front for
bodies. Every corpse that came ashore
was incased in ice several inches thick.
On a piece of the after deck of the
steamer were picked up two survivors.
