'293 Lost in Ship $
Disaster off Bahia
Final Check Shows

RIO DE JANEIRO Oct % CP)-The
oceans toll from the ill-fated italian
liner Principessa Mafalda tonight was
placed tentatively at 293 dead and
missing, as rescue ships in port COM
pleted discharging their unexpected
passengers.
The actual story of the disaster also
began to take definite form as the ac-
counts of survivors were pieced to-
gether. Terror gave those rescued al
most as many views of the tragic scene
as there were survivors, but many
points stand out as agreed upon by
many or all of those who lived to tell
the tale
Of the 1856 persons said by the Ital-
ian embassy to have been aboard the
vessel, 936 we're accounted for tonight.
The French liner Mosella took So sur
vivor3 into Bahia last night.
The French steamer FormOsa, first
rescue ship on the scene, brought 353
survivors here today and the Dutch
vessel Athena brought 531. Twenty
seven more have been reported en-
route to Pernambuco aboard the Ital-
ian steamer Rosetti. The total on
these ships is 953, and it is not be-
Ilieved here that there are any sur
vivors on any of the three or four
smaller vessels that answered the Ma
falda's distress call
The survivors are almost all agreed
that dancing, laughter and festivities
on beautiful tropic afternoon were
suddenly turned to gloom by the
crash of a breaking. propeller shaft
and the sound of water rushing into
the vessels stern. From this point on
accounts diverge as to details.
Many claim there was an explosion
and that the ships flooded boilers
tore open the ships hull as they burst
Others deny there was any explosion
Some claim Captain Simon Gull
Gained the passengers by telling then
the accident was not serious, and thai
festivities we're resumed they main
tair.ed that time was lost because o.
this, with resultant loss of life in the
haste when the ships boats final!
were launched.
Some told of sharks devouring terri
field victims as they struggled in the
water, while other survivors who die
not see sharks were Skeptical. Ont
of the most vivid and gruesome wore
pictures OF the sea beasts after theil
prey was painted by John Lyra Chaves
