body of Thompson Found.
The body of Albert thompson OF To-
ronto, brought in by trawler last night
was found drifting with wreckage near
the coast not far from the scene OF the

three knots races around oldhead. Kin

stiff wind, which at the end OF eight or
nine days may carry Oodies ashore
around Cape Clear, on the West Irish
coast. The winds ordinarily prevailing
would have brought bodies ashore on the
Atlantic coast of Cornwall England.
The cunard Steamship company. after
much trouble, has sent tug 10 the SCENE

into the nearest cove and inform Cunard
officials here II even q single body Il

thrown into the water.
