Bodies Brought te Queenstown, Queenstown, May 12, 10:17 a. m The bodies of nine men and eight wo- men who perished when the Lusitania eank, comprising those brought ashore at Baltimore and other Irish coait points, arrived here this morning aboard a tug. The only body of a first class ~ passenger which wus promptly identified was that of Percy Secombe of Petersboreugh, Ont., son of the late Capt. C. W. Secombe of the Cunard line. His sister, Miss Elizabeth Secombe still is missing. Slow progress is being made in the fwork of identification, as few rela- tives of passengers are now here and the authorities are relying only upon papers and trinkets found on the bod- ies. The names James Harrison and A, P, Norris were found on papers in the pockets of two of the men, while that of K. Hickson was found on the body of one woman, On the body of Mr. Hadrrison was found a card of the Young Men’s Christian asseciation of Bridgeport, Conn.
