have buoyancy enough to support them.

"Those were the only bodies we passed near enough to distinguish, but
we could see the white life-preservers of many more dotting the sea, all
the way to the iceberg. The officers told us that was probably the
berg hit by the Titanic, and that the bodies and ice had drifted along
together."

Mrs. Stunke said a number of the passengers demanded that the Bremen
stop and pick up the bodies, but the officers assured them that they had
just received a wireless message saying the cable ship Mackay-Bennett
was only two hours away fron{sic} the spot, and was coming for that
express purpose.

Other passengers corroborated Mrs. Stunke.

THE IDENTIFED{sic} DEAD.

On April 25th the White Star Line officials issued a corrected list of
the identified dead. While the corrected list cleared up two or more of
the wireless confusions that caused so much speculation in the original
list, there still remained a few names that so far as the record of the
Titanic showed were not on board that ship when she foundered.

The new list, however, established the fact that the body of George D.
Widener, of Philadelphia, was among those on the Mackay-Bennett, and two
of the bodies were identified as those of men named Butt.

THE MACKAY-BENNETT RETURNS TO PORT

After completing her search the Mackay-Bennett steamed for Halifax,
reaching that port on Tuesday, April 30th. With her flag at half mast,
the death ship docked slowly. Her crew manned the rails with bared
heads, and on the aft deck were stacked the caskets with the dead. The
vessel carried on board 190 bodies, and announcement was made that 113
other bodies had been buried at sea.

Everybody picked up had been in a life-belt and there were no bullet
holes in any. Among those brought to port were the bodies of two women.

THE MINIA GIVES UP THE SEARCH

When at last the Minia turned her bow toward shore only thirteen
additional bodies had been recovered, making a total of 316 bodies found
by the two ships.

Further search seemed futile. Not only had the two vessels gone
thoroughly over as wide a field as might likely prove fruitful, but,
in addition, the time elapsed made it improbable that other bodies, if
found, could be brought to shore. Thus did the waves completely enforce
the payment of their terrible toll.
