The fruit steamer passed within three miles of ‘the yacht, but Captain Durie, not knowing that any was felt for the yacht's safety, no pains to get close enough to speak the vessel, She was a large white steam yacht, with yellow funnel, and about 250 feet long—which description would answer that of the Astor yacht.

A force of laborers was ordered to the work, and at 5 o'clock the unsealed shaft was belching out gases and smoke. Preparations were made at once to reduce the temperature in the shaft. A substitute fan, placed at the mine beside the old one near the airshaft, was started. its direction being revers- ed so as to pull the smoke toward the ventilator. As soon as possible the helmet-armored mine experts descend- ed in the shaft with leads of hose, pre- pared to fight the burnigg coal in the second gallery. If the effort is suc- cessful, fifteen firemen without helmets will be sent down the shaft to put out the fire when they can do it with safety. Woman Frantic to View the First Body News of the recovery of the first body spread rapidly through the vil- lage, and as the ambulance, flanked by soldiers, passed through the streets, women, rushing out of their homes, pushed frantically throigh the crowds in a vain attempt to look into the wagon.

Twenty Bodies Were Found. *fwenty bodies wers found within eeventy feet of the ventilating shaft. One, of them, unrecoghizable, was brought to the surface, and after con- slderable delay was taken -to the town hall to await identification. The tem- per of the people was feared, and an attenipt to keep secret the finding of the bodles was made. Those in au- thority bound themselves ‘to, maintain silence. That more than one victim had been discovered was not generally known at nightfall and a plan was afoot to attempt the removal of the other bodies late at night. The one brought to the surface was concealed for an hour at the top of the pit before being turned over to the undertaker, and then enly because the discovery had become known. ) Two Descents Made. The first descent into the ventilating shaft was made by J. W. Paul, George H. Rice and R. Y. Williams in a tem- porary cage constructed during the night and forenoon. The second descent was made by Mine Inspectors James Taylor and Thomas Moses. who brought up the body. All were protected against dead- 1y )gases by oxygen helmets. Mine In- spector Taylor's plan of a determined effort in the main shaft, where the temperature is still around 110 degrees Farcnheit, was merely delayed by the expedition jrto the air pit.
