Search Abandoned
New London. Nov. as R-Search
for more bodies from the ill fated
steamship Nestris has been abandon
ed by coast guard vessels according
to officials here who after receiving
reports from the vessels which par
ticipated in the work are convinced
that further search would be futile.
The destroyers Wilkes. in COM
mand Of Lieut.. Commander j. i.
Farley. and the Davis, in command
Of Lieut.. Commander L. c. Mueller.
returned to the state pier here this
morning after leaving the bodies
they had recovered at New York
last night.
20 BODIES Recovered
Altogether 90 bodies were recover
ed by the coast guard vessels Acush-
net. Tucker. Davis and Shaw. The
Davis recovered nine yesterday. 1t.
Commander Mueller stated today
that all of the bodies recovered were
badly mutilated from contact with
the water and from sharks and that
any bodies still floating in life pre-
servers would undoubtedly be mu-
tilated beyond hopes of recognition
even if they could be found. In
this respect it was pointed out that
the weather is very rough in the
vicinity of where the Nentris went
down and that debris has been scat
tered over an area of many miles by
the wind and currents. The destroy
ers Shaw. in command Of Lieut..
Commander G. II. I'inlay and the
Tucker, in command of Lieut.. +. ].
Sexton, were on their way back to
their base at the state pier here to-
day after leaving bodies recovered at
Staten Island.
All of the bodies recovered by the
coast guard boats were clad in. life
presorvers which kept them ailoat.
The condition of the bodies was
such that they had TO be hauled
aboard the vessel wrapped In bur-
lap due to decomposition.
1t was felt that very little would
be left of any other bodies floating
because of the activities of the
sharks which are reported to have
infested the entire area where the
Vestris went down.
