It was first feared that upward of 300 lives had been lost. Only one survivor was accounted for. A check of the number of passengers and crews carried by the vessels lowered the estimate of the casualty list. The Connemara carried 51 passengers and a crew of 30. The Retriever’s crew numbered 13. It is not definitely known whether passengers were aboard the Re- triever but revised figures put the total num- ber on the two ships at not more than 100. named Boyle, a member] appears certain that any boat put miracu escaped death.
