but it was within the past few months.'
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.
