RIMOUSNI, Que, May 30.-Stretch-
ed out 50 close together in the pier sheds
that il was impossible to walk among
them without touching the prostrate
forms. lay the bodies of two hundred
and thirty victims of the Empress of
Ireland catastrophe this morning. Not
since the Mackey- Bennett brought the
bodies of Titanic victims into Halifax
has similar sight been witnessed in
the world.
Some of the bodies were in collins.
but most Of them were laid out on the
floors of the sheds. Most of them were
covered with clean linen shrouds, but
most of them were Just as they were
taken from the cold river, wrapped par
tally in the few scant garments with
which they escaped from the ship. II
was sight that would strike pity to
the heart and be unbearably pathetic, if
the disaster were not so great as to re-
move all feeling Of personal sorrow.
One of the most astounding features
of the terrible sight was the fact that
many stared open-eyed in death. Most
frightened expression. Some gave evi-

death must have come so suddenly that
there was little time for fear. Il was
as if most of them had gone to their
death Nide-awake, amazed and wonder
ing what had happened.
A mother held a little girl tightly
clutched to her breast as though she
had given her last strength in an ef
fort to save the child. Around tn,
tots neck was a little chain of gold
carrying a tiny cross.
In another place was woman

that gruesome place, was set down be-
side humble survivor. His Uniform
showed him to be a steward. The
body of the woman was that OF Mrs.
Gallagher, of Winnipeg, who had been
identified by her son Cedric Gallagher,
one who had been saved.
There were many bodies of women.
There we're many children also and
long rows of men. There had been a
great demand for cofiins, but as
RimousH is not accustomed TO such
an awful demand, a dozen caskets
only we're available.
Many Of the bodies were cut and
bruised; there we're curious wounds
as though someone had used knife
This indicated that many had been
knocked about when the big ship was
ripped apart. Many of the bodies
were found with their hands stretch
ed high above their heads as though
the poor unfortunates had made
last appeal to heaven.
Leaving this terrible place anC
reaching the free open air again, ont
was confronted with piles of casket
from Quebec. Along the road be
tween the wharf and the city, dis
tance of three miles there were man.
wagons to be met each conveying
body or two. Very few Of the bodie
have been identified.
One that lies in the pier shed i
thought to be Albert Anderson, o
Montreal. That of a woman is sup
posed to be Mrs. P. Flack, Of Craven
hurst. One was identified as Mrs
Gallagher of Winnipeg. Another wa
identified as Miss or Mrs. Morris, o
Toronto. One body, that of a man
who had apparently tried to save hi
eleven-year-old boy was identified a
Mr.. Taylor, of Fort William.
On his body was a belt containin
$1,000. There were many foreigner
among the victims and many of tn
bodies wore life-belts. II was eviden
that they had been caught in tn
vortex when the great ship sank.
