List of Dead and Missing at
Buffalo, N.Y., Numbers 80
SIXTEEN BODIES RECOVERED
Medical Examiner Found Also That
There Were No Supporting Piles
Under the Part of the Dock
Which Collapsed.

! Buffalo, \. Y, june 24.-Up to noon
| to-day sixteen bodies had been recovered
| from the Niagara river at Eagle park,
the scene of last nights drowning trag-
edy. when 100 people were thrown into
the river by the collapse of an excursion
steamer dock. and the official list of
unidentified dead and the missing to-
tailed thirty.
The medical examiner found many OF
the broken planks in the dock were rot.
ted, and there were no supporting piles
directly beneath the collapsed portion
Boats were sent down the river to-day
to recover other bodies.
The steamer Henry Koerber had just
warped into the dock to take on a load
of returning excursionists. The wharf
was crowded with people and more were
coming down from the grove above. The
gang planks were thrown out and the
section of the crowd nearest to the
steamer began to move forward. Cap
tain Fix on board called out to them TO
move slowly. The words We're no more
than out of his mouth when the> center
of the wharf halfway between the place
where the boat was tied up and the
shore end, sank with a crash.
The panking held fast to the timbers
on both sides OF the wharf, forming
pocket in the center, into which the
struggling mass OF people were thrown.
Many were caught in the wreckage of
the dock, but fully $50 went into the
water. which beneath the dock was from
10 to II feet in depth with a current OF
about 10 miles an hour.
The wreckage of the wharf served to
hold the bulk of the struggling crowd,
but, several who fell clear of it began to
float away. Rowboats and motorboats
were pressed into service. and some of
these were rescued 1t is certain, how
ever. that in addition to the bodies res.
cued in the vicinity OF the dock. many
were swept away, and it will be some
time before their identity can be estab-
lished.
Rowboats and motorbnats were used
to release many jammed in the broken
tmbers, and men who could swim
stripped and dove into the river to help
the women and children.
Many of the women taken from the
water were revived after being brought
ashore. A frst-aid corps was organized
and as the men. women and children
were brought out of the water by the
rescuers they were laid on the shore
end OF the wharf and efforts we're made
to revive them,
The steamer left Buffalo at midnight, /
bringing home about 200 OF the ex-
cursionists, many of whom had sustained
slight injuries News of the disaster
had by this time reached the city, and
an immense crowd had gathered at the /
dock at the foot of Amherst street. /
Weeping women were asking for news
from their children. and it was almost |
for the police to restrain some
of them until the boat was unloaded.
Immediately after discharging her pas
sengers the koerber returned to Grand |
island to bring home the remainder of
the crowd
