The arrival of Captain Drake, of Mare Island was announced at this point, and the commander hastened to the gang plank to greet him. He then declined to make any further statement. Commander Young stated that 18 men are miseing besides those accounted for at the morgues, hospitsls and in the fire room. He believed that these 18 men were drowned and that their bodies will be found on the shores of the bay from time to time. “I am quite satisfied,*’ he said, “that more men were blow’ii into the water than were picked up by the rescue boats. Th^se men, I believe, wer« too seriously injured to keep afloat any length of time and were drowned. No one could have been on the gundeck, especially amid ships, and escaped death or injury.” There was lessening of the strain at the various hospitals where were wit nessed such terrible scenes of suffering and death during the previous 24 hours. There was still work to do, however, but willing hands were always ready to take the burden off those who had borne it so nobly during the hours following the dis aster. At Agnew sanitarium, where a large majority of the victims have been treated, there are still 34 sufferers, al most a dozen of whom are expected to die of their terrible injuries.
