TOWN OPENS ARMS
 TO SURVIVORS

When the survivors were brought ashore here by the rescue craft-the Eureka and the Lady Evelyn, government vesses-the town opened it's arms to receive and sue cor them. Prompt measures were taken by the Inter-colonial railway. which sent a special7 reliefs train to convey the 1suf- ferers to Quebec.
 From all accounts, Captain H. G. Kendall of the Empress of Ireland bore himself like a true sailor. He re- tained such command of the situation it appears, that while the Storstad' S stem still hung in the gap 1t had made in the Empress side, Captain Kendall begged the master of the collier to keep his propellers going so that the hole might remain plugged The Storstad, however. dropped back and the Empress filled and foundered STOOD ON BRIDGE

When they had beeen given attention the work of recovering bodies was undertaken. The rescue steamers themselves had brought in nearly 30 of these and tonight after they had continued their search a total of about 250 bodies had been recovered One woman and four men still living but unconscious, were picked up by the steamers during the day. Few Of the bodies had been identified to- night.
 The wireless is given credit for saw ing many lives. Responding promptly to the S. O. S. call, the steamer Eureka was on the spot approximately 20 min utes after the disaster, and the Evelyn but little later.

 Of the prominent persons on board, it appears certain that Laurence sydney Broadribb Irving, the second son of the late Henry Irving, the English actor and himself an actor of note, was lost. to- gether with his wife, who was Mabel Hackney. an English actress. Another of the notable victims was Sir Henry Seton karr, widely known as hunter of big game. He had been in America a fort night and was returning to England. Neither his name for that of the Irvings appear in any of the lists of the saved.
