HALIFAX. N. S.. April 29-The fol-
here today from Capt Gardeau Of the
cable ship Mackay-Bennett:
Delayed by bad weather. Will not
enter port until am. Tuesday"
wireless message received here yes
terday from the cable ship Nina, which
is supplementing the work Of the
Mackay-Bennett in searching for bodies
of those who persisted in the Titanic
disaster. indicates that there is little
hope Of adding to the 1sO-odd now on
the Mackay-Bennett.
The weather has been bad, the sea
rough. and bodies are widely scattered.
Capt. Decarteret Of the Nina believes
the Mackay-Bennet has picked UP
nearly all obtainable II his prediction is
correct the bodies Of Maj. Archibald
Butt, Mrs. Isidor Straus and other
prominent persons, not reported as among
the identified dead, will never be brought
to port for burial.
Representatives Of the family OF w. T.
Stead have asked that If his body is re-
covered 1t be buried at sea. A request to
this effect was sent by wireless from here
to the steamer Mackay-Bennett, which,
however. SO far as known, has not re-
covered Mr.. Stead's body.
A revised list of the identified dead,
compiled last night from wireless mes
sages received here and in New York,
places the total number Of the identified
on the Mackay- Bennett at 1874 and those
on the Nina at eight In all, ten were
as recovered by the Nina, but
one unidentified fireman was buried at
sea-
