Acordlns to th official Hat. SI4

Identified, but many bodies are be
lieved to be atlll In the ship.
Under misty ekles 7000 women, men
nnd children had wended their way to
the wharf to fill firm largo steamer
with ho'lday mirth In a trip to Michi
gan City.
Itaiu bogan to fall as the whnrf au
perintendenu lifted tlio gang plan;
from tho Eastland, declaring tha: tlx.
Kovornmenl limit of 2600 pasauncers
hnd iK'on roachod.
Then the paaacngors swarmed to
the left s:de of the ship as the oUie
sientners drew up thu river toward th.
harf. A tug was hitched to the Kasi
land, ropes were orderwl cast off an-:

Instead the heavily-laden vessel wa
vered sldewlse. leaning first : ;

itartllns that many passmgers Joino
the large concourse already on tho
other side of the decks.
Tl.o ship then heeit 1 i'fk. It tur
ed slowly but steadily toward ita i:
-ide. Children clutched the sklrta of
mothers nnd sisters to keep from fa
lug. Tho whole enrfio was Impoitoi!
toward tho fulling side of the shi
Wntor Iwpnii to outer lower port holos
and tho ropes snapped off the piles to
which the obsol was tied.
Tor nearly five minutes the steamer
turned before it finally dived under
the swift current of the river, which,
oing to tho drainage canal system,
flows from tho lake. During the
mighty turning of the ship with Its
cargo of humanity, lifeboats, chairs
nnd other loose appurtenances on the
decks slipped down the sloping floors,
crushing the passengers toward the
rising waters.
Many C . "Jvn Never To Rise.
Then thr.c waa a plunge, with a
alch of air wap'ii! from the hoi-!,

and xhrleka of women, ami the vessel
waa on the bottom of the rlvir, cast
In: hundreds of Ita passengers Into tho
water. Many aank. entangled with
clothing and bundles, and did not rise,
but acorua fame to the surface, giving
the river tlx- appearance of a crowded
bathing beach. Many seized floating
chairs and other objects Those on
shore threw out ropes and dragged In
those who could hold Uilr lifelines.
floats were put out, tugs rushed to
the scene with shrieking whistles, and
many men anatched off their coats and
sprang lnU the river to aid tho drown
ing. With tbonaands of spectators
ready to aid and the wharf within
grasp, hundreds went to death, de
spite every effort at rescue.
Moves toward sweeping Investiga
tions of the disaster were under way
long before tho bodies had been taken
from the bull of the overturned vessel.
Drluln to Amend Reply to America.
Washington. A request made by
Sir Edward Grey. Dritish minister ot
foreign affairs, that the state depart
ment withhold from publication the
text of Uie British note received in re

much speculation in official circles.
No explanation of the delay was made
except that another note on the same
