st. Johns, N. F., April 6.-Out of the
storm-swept ice floes Of the North At
lantic. where for two days and two
nights the crew OF the sealing ship
Newfoundland struggled against death,
lost and starving in binding bliz-
zard, the sealer Bellaventure Saturday
brought to this port the bodies OF SIX
ty-nine men who perished in the disas-
ter and thirty-cight survivors of one Of
the most terrific trials Of human suf-
fering and of heroism in the annals OF
the sea. =
After being missing for an entire
week no reports have been received
from the sealer Southern Cross. 1t is
now feared she certainly went down
with 173 men on board.
Bodies of eight of the Newfoundland
heroes were not found, bringing the
total death list in that disaster up to
seventy-seven.
The Southern Cross carried crew
of 173 and the probable loss of that
vessel means death toll Of 347 In the
blizzard of Tuesday and Wednesday Of
last week.
While weeping fathers, wives, broth
ers and sisters crowded the Seamen's
Institute where temporary mortuary
was prepared, endeavoring to identify
the frozen bodies from the Bellaven-
turc, survivors in the hospitals unfold
ed the story of the hours Of terror on
the ice which Is unequaled save by
tales Of the Polar regions. And Cap
tain Robert F. Scott and his brave
men met death in the Antarctic with
no more fortitude than was shown by
the hardy sealers.
BY noon Sunday all but five of the
sixty-nine bodies of the Newfound-
lands hunters brought in by the Bella
venture had been identified.
The bodies of the victims brought In
by the Beilaventure were frozen as
hard as rocks. Some were locked In
each others arms, other bodies were
in a sitting position, or with arms un.
der their heads. as though the men
sought sleep and rest on the ice. 9th
ers were bent almost In circle. Many
men in the party became demented
from their cufferings. One group made
barricade of the bodies Of the dead
to protect them from the storm. Many
of these bodies were found almost
nude, the survivors in their frenzy hav.
ing torn away the clothing Of the dead.
