buried AZ sea 1l6 bodies some oil
which had been identified. Capt
Lardner, who commanded the cruise
with broken voice, declared that his
vessel was unable to bring to shore
!. all Of the bodies recovered Beside
the captain sat Canon Kinds, worn by
the heavy duties that had fallen to
him through the cruise.
Why were those bodies buried al
sea-" the captain was asked
The grizzled old sea captain shook
= his head sadly and panied express
sion swept his weather beaten face.
They were members OF the crew,
he said, most of them and we
couldn't care for them. When we left
Halifax We took on board all OF the
ernbalming fluid in the city. That was
only enough to care for 70 bodies. II
wasn't expected that We would find
bodies In such great Quantities The
undertaken didn't think these bodies
would keep more than three days at
sea, and as We expected TO be out
more than two weeks we had to bury
them. They received the full service
for the dead before they slid over the
rail"

Those who weer buried at sea"
continued the captain, were mostly

been struck by spars or floating wreck

Might closed down on us Sunday
night with bodies still around. We
commenced work again on Monday
morning at daylight, but bodies were
scarce. We got only 26 that day. We
searched fifteen miles in and out along
the line OF wreckage. At night we
marked the floating wreckage with a
drifting buoy so we could find II read

Tuesday morning bodies were
numerous again. We picked up 90 be-

thick and in the afternoon we recoy.
cred only 20.
I'VE found no two bodies together.
All were floating separately. No two
we're clasped In each others arms. In
one place we saw them scattered over
the surface, looking like flock of sea
gulls.
"A great many Of those recovered
were injured when the Titanic went
down." said Capt. Lardner. when he
Mas asked why so many OF the bodies
brought in were bruised and broken.
when the water swept her decks
many must have been rushed before Il
and carried against stanchlons, against
spars and other parts of the vessel.
All of those we're picked up wore life
belts and they rode upright in the
waves, the belts carrying them high
above the water"
