Widener’s Body Buried at Sea—Money and Jewelry Recovered From Remains—Bodies of 18 or 20 Women—Story by Cable Ship’s Skipper. (By United Press Leased Wire.) HALIFAX, N, &., April 30.—With 196 bodies on board, victims of the great Titanic disaster, the Mackay-Bennett, the “coffin ship,” re- turned here today from its gruesome trip. The bodies of two women are included among those recovered. The body of Col. John Jacob Astor was identified by the jewelry he wore and cards found in his pockets, say members of the Mackay- Bennett's crew. One hundred and sixteen other bodies were found, but their condi. tion preciuded the possibility of bringing them here, and they were buried at sea, Col. “THE TITANIC MORGUE” The 1 bodies were removed first from the “coffin ship.” These were taken on stretchers to walting wagons and hurried to the Titanic morgue Amidship of the enormons group their feature Mackay-Bennett a hu arpaulin was lifted and dead was disclosed lay in cramped posi- horribly distorted, t es marked by stains sea, Horrible grimaces marked other #, showing the fear whieh they went to their deaths There was no crowd of curiosity seekers about the dock, the city continuing its business quietly, the people passing the dock with faces averted As the uncovered bodies wer pine box and put into a wagon. at the rate of one er minute The body which was supposed have been that of George B. Widener, the Philadelphia millionaire, may prove not to be his. Capt. Roberts, of Col, John Jacob Astor's yacht, conferred with Capt. Lard- ner, of the Mackay-Hennett. Later Roberts declared that he was satis- fied that Astor's body was aboard, He said that possibly the body be- Heved to be Widener's was that of the millionaire's valet. He pointed out that valets frequently wear their masters’ clothing without remov- ing tue name tags. Widener’s body was identified by tags. The head of the body supposed to be that_of Widener and it ts impossible to positively identify it b¥ the features, ASTOR’S BODY IDENTIFIED The bodies of Col. Jobn Jacob Astor and Isidor Straus were placed |in coffins as soon as recovered. The Mackay-Bennett’s crew says that | none of the bodies foynd bore bullet marks, but that all were in a ber- rible condition. Many were frozen, discolored and battered, absolutely unrecognizable, Those buried at sea were in the worst possible com dition A coffin was pulled from a pile and opened om the deck. Capt. Roberts gazed at the body for a moment, then turned away, saying: “That is Col. Astor.” an tions of the with moved, cach was placed in a rough The corpses were taken from the ship as crushed, CHURCH BELLS TOLL As the vessel docked, all church bells in the city tolled, and fiags were lowered to halfmast. A hundred blue jackets with bands of mourning on their sleeves patrofied the harbor, keeping al! smail craft from the dock. Blue jackets from the cruiser Niobe policed the pier, barring all persons except those bearing passes. As the Mackay-Bennett approached, the piles of bodies which lit tered the deck were plainly visible. Some were wrapped in burlap, others were uncovered, with the arms and hi exposed to full view. Bundies of clothing, wrapped in burlap, occupied other parts of the deck. WIDENER’S BODY BURIED AT SEA * The body thought to be that of George B. Widener, the Philadelphia millionaire, was in such condition that it had to be buried at sea. Lardner explained that positive identification was impossibl marks on the clothing led to the belief that the body was that of Wid- ene The unidentified dead included the body of a baby girl about 2 years old, tt was found floating on some wreckage. Its face and head been battered into an unrecognizable mass. The captain of the Mackay- Bennett is paying the expen f burial for the unidentified will be reimbursed by the White Star Co. ‘ Lardner continued: “Monday we found only 26 bodies. Om Tuesday numerous bodies were sighted, and we recovered 90 corpses before noon. Then a storm came up and we recovered only 29 more during the afternoon. I found no two bodies together; all were floating separately; I saw no two clasped in each others’ arms, At one place I saw bodies scat- tered on the surface of the sea, resembling sea gulls—the white ends of their life belts fluttered up and down. Many of the victims evidently were injured when the Titanic sank Water swe decks must have against the stanchions and spars. All the belts, They rode upright in the waves, th above the water. I believe one of the first bodies I found was that of George B. ner, Letters found in the clothing were addressed to him. The quality of the underclothing on the body was also of the quality such ‘s is worn by first cabin passengers. An overcoat bore the Initials Kk. Widener’s son, however, was confident that the body was that of Edward Keating, his father's valet MONEY AND JEWELRY FOUND “We found the bodies of 18 or 20 women and recovered much jew. ciry off both men and women. | do not know exactly how much money | we found.” Captain Lardner of the Mackay-|1 Rennett stated that he arrived near the scene of the disaster on the | following the sink ling of the Titanic, By midnight, he | had sighted a number of On Sunday 51 bodies we nd xplaining why a number of vic buried at sea, Captain carried many of the victims bodies recovered wore life belts carrying them high Wie rdner said Mostly Members of Crew.” “Those buried at sea were mostly members of the crew, and we found it impossib! to care for them, When we left Halifax we took ail the embalming fluid we could find in the y. That was sufficient to care for only 70 bodies. I did not expect to find the corpses of so many victims. Saturday night DO YOU KNOW?
