° ‘THE WORLD: TES IN ALL- NIGHT ~ SEARCH FOR THE DEAD Fire Patrol and Police Patrol Will To- Day Beat About the Bay, Taking in South Brooklyn, Coney Island, Staten Island and the Narrows. Two tughoats steamed slowly down the East River just as the sun rose to-day. On the deck of each stood a man with marine glasses, and near him were men with grappling hooks in their hands. Every man’s face showed the awful strain that he had been under. The boats were the police Patrol under charge of Captain Dean, and the fire patrol Abram S. Hewitt. The men were searching for the dead. None of the men has had any rest since the General Slocum disaster. All through the night these boats puffed and beat about the shores of the East River and North Brother Island. Back and forth they went, first Sunning close to the sands and then seeking a course in th: middle of the stream. As these boats splashed through the waves their way was lighted by ftearchlights. On the bow of each boat stood men, their glances ever cast ahead, looking for some body that had got clear of the sunken hulk and floated out into the river. Now and again an object was seen in the water and the boats would halt. ' Possibly it was only a floating piece of wood, but it received atten- tion, for in that light afl objects had the appearance of some one dead. Each time an object was discovered there came stifled cries from the shore, lined with men, women and even children. They, too, were search- ers after the dead, and this search has continued since the Slocum_went down and since those dear to them have failed to be found in hospital or | morgue. While the divers continued their work about the sunken hulk off Hunt’s Point, these grieved fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, sweethearts and children stood on the sands with eyes strained and dried, for they were past tears, and watched the divers bring up the dead. When, when the last of the dead was brought from under the charred and ¢unken wreck and the search for the dead was prosecuted down thé river off North Brother Island and the Manhattan shore, these watchers changed their position, but their vigil was just as faithful. Women, many of them bareheaded, some of them with shawls about theif shoulders; men in overalls, othérs in business suits; children with tangled hair and without wraps, stood in the gray dawn and watched the flash of the searchlights all through the night and until dawn. Then they ‘$aw the tugboats steam slowly down the river toward the bay. “Where are they going?” a pale-faced, sunken-cheeked woman asked Sergt. Hines, who was in charge of the sub-police station established on the Health Department dock at the foot of One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street. ““‘Are,they too tired todo more? What is to become of our dead?” “They are going down the river a piece,” replied the sergeant, ‘“Ihey _think.they. might. accomplish something down there.” ~~ "Ther fhé crowd started after the two boats, but they were soon dis- tanced. They saw the boats slowly wend their way under the bridge spans and then lost sight of them. For the boats were bound for the Lower Bay and the Narrows, where the tide is believed to have carried .scores of bodies. So to-day the tugs will beat about the bay, taking in the shores of South Brooklyn down as far as Coney Island. They will search the shores of Staten Island and the Narrows, and it is believed that before the sun sels this evening more dead will have been added to the long rows In the Marg ves A SALE OF HOES FOR MEN $2.40 These are sample 1904 summer shoes of TAN, PATENT COLT, VICI, VELOUR CALF and CALF, in both shoes and Oxford ties.

Mother and Two Children Were Not om the Slocum, George C. McCartney, of No. 500 West One Hundred and Forty-alxth street, warrant officer of the Tombs Court, called at the Coroners’ OMice this morn+ ing to deny that his wife and two chil- dren were among those missing in the Siooum, disaster, as reported in the lata.

Many Relatives and Fricu@s of Persons Lost Cancel Dates. A number of persons who had lost relatives or friends in the Slocum dis- aster went to the theatres last night to get back money paid for seats.
