BOAT IS DUE MONDAY

Halifax, Nova Scotia, April z.-This
was another day of suspense for the
little army Of mourning relatives and
friends OF Titanic victims, who have
gathered to claim their dead on board
the funeral ship Mackay-Bennett. Early
in the morning a pathetic crowd gather
ed on the harbor front waiting in hope
that the cable ship would make port
before night. The White Star officials
here. however. said they did not expect
the Mackay-Bennett TO dock before noon
on Monday.
Indignation was expressed to-day
against what is termed inadequate and
unsatisfactory arrangements for the re-
ception Of the dead. The constant con-
fiicting reports as to the location and
time Of arrival OF the Mackay-Bennett
have given rise TO fresh allegations that
the White Star line 10 continuing q policy
OF suppression
II was originally intended that the
Mackay- Bennett should dock at Gun
Wharf. and arrangements were made TO
place a naval and military guard over
the dead. Now the arrangements for the
reception OF the death ship call for her
TO dock at one OF the government piers
and for the removal OF the collins con-
tanning the dead to a nearby mortuary
chapel instead OF placing them in an i'm
provised morgue for further identihca-
tons by relatives and friends.
The little army OF sorrowing men
who have gathered here TO claim the
bodies OF loved ones was augmented to-
day by the arrival OF others, including
a number OF prominent men.
