The girl wore a checked skirt and a white waist. Her jewelry comprised a gold snake ring, a ring set with an ppal and a small diamond locket on a gold chain. The focket was marked “W. A. C.” Inspector Albertson is of the impression that there are ‘fhundreds of additional bodies in the water in the vicinity of North Brother Island and that the list of dead will finally number close to 1,000. The diver working off the north shore of North Brother Island signalled that he wished to be drawn to the surface at 1 o’clock this afternoon. He brought with him two bodies, those of a boy and a girl. The boy was about nine years old. He wore his hair closely cropped and had on knickerbockers of dark goods and a polka-dot necktie. The girl was about eleven years old, She wore a gold ting set with three turquoises, a gold ring set with a ruby and.three pearls and a pair of gold ear-rings. _ © There isa serious difference of opinion between the erritt-Chapman divers employed by the Knickerbocker Steamboat Company and the divers of the Dock Depart- ment. The Merritt-Chapman men abandoned the wreck yes- erday, saying that they had explored every part of it and it it contained no more corpses. John Rice, the Dock Department diver, says that he discovered many bodies jammed in the paddle-box on the side of the boat that rests on the bottom. These bodies, he says, can only be released by pulling the boat fet or by blowing the wreck to pieces with dynamite, “The steamboat company’s divers say that they went o the paddle box referred to by Rice and that there is not single body'in it. This report they made to the Mayor in erson while he was at North Brother Island yesterday The number of bodies recovered remains at 539. Reports of the re- covery of bodies during the night at widely separated points have not been erified. A report that fifty bodies were taken from the Alexander ave- station on the day of the disaster and this number should be added o the number received at the Morgue is a mistake. All of the bodies re- eived at the Alexander avenue station with the exception of two or three were removed to the Morgue. f° There have been 400 identifications. phead is 43. Just after the divers and policemen In zowboais went to work search- Ati for bodies to-day the Grand Republic, sister ship to the Gen.
