 It was decided to place the cof' fins in the bottom of a great pit and lay the bodies in rows over the top of each other Over the first layer was placed great sheet of heavy canvas. and then were placed ten more bodies and another canvas placed over them and so on until they were all ready for burial
 At another point where four bodies were found there was no timber whatever available for collins and the men were buried without them.
 The bodies washed up in this dis trict were not badly bruised but those coming up. on rocky shores were badly mutilated. Some of the bodies were almost completely dis robbed by the action of the water. Nearly all of the men wore life belts and their clothing was satur- ated with the oil which came from the great tanks aboard the Tus cana immediately aftT the vessel was torpedoed.
 The men were thrown into the sea by the faulty launching of the lifeboats. Many were within few yards of land when the seas crushed the lifeboats against the rocky shores.
