 Cleveland, O., Oct. 19-(UP)-The bodies of IS men and woman, all fin life preservers, bobbed in the choppy waters of Lake Erie today, victims of 6 gale that sank the Canadian sand ship, Sand Mer- chant. Seven men survived. There was only the faintest possibility that any of the 10 missing were alive. All authorities had given them up and coast guard vessels search the lake for the bodies. The survivors, who saved themselves by clinging to life boats for II hours Saturday night, and Sunday morning were recover ing from exposure. Inquiry in the cause of the disaster will be under taken here and probably in Canada.
 Heroism, Fortitude
 Stories of heroism and fortitude in the face of tortorous death were told by the seven men. Martin White, 39, second engineer, could not forget that his 20 year old son, Harry, said, "Try to save yourself, Dad," then slipped of the heavipg, overturned lifeboat, exhausted, and sank. Herman Dault remembered his vain efforts to keep his brother, Armos and Joseph, awake. He slapped them, pulled their hair, talked. Finally, after five hours, their grips loosened and they were gone into the storm. But most vivid of all in the minds of the survivors was the tragic fate of First Mate Stanley Drinkwater, of Port Stanley, Ont, and his wife, Together they chung to an overturned boat, the giant wind-lashed waves breaking
