uncovered, both being SO badly decon
posed as to make identific alton almo
impossible.
The bodies were found in the afte
part Of the battery compartment, a
oficer's cap being discovered With
a few inches Of one Of the bodies.
It is believed that the presence o

craft, was resumed at eight o'clot

AIR BEARS sIoKENING faint
Shortly after the beginning Of ope
atoms an, electric blower fan was star
cd which blew fresh air into the engine
room and greatly facilitated the tas
Of removing the wreckage from t.
middle compartment, for even yestel

faint. II is believed that many bodie

About half past ten O'Clock tw
bodies were discovered amid piles o
battery plates, sand and other wrecl
age. One Of the bodies brought on
was that Of q tall man one Of who's

chest and head were gone. Zach skull
was ldisintegratsd.
Other than much frayed oficer
cap which was found near one Of tn
bodies there was neither sign nor If
sigma to indicate to whom the bone
had belonged.
The, throng Of watchers was consider
ably increased during the afternoon
word Of the finding of two bodies haV
ing brought many to the scene. In tn
afternoon the public were allowed t.

the submarine than was the case Of
Tuesday, the boundary line now bein
drawn about thirty feet from the boy
of the F-4.

which the explorers come and go.
