800 ENTOMFIBED, IN EMPRESS.
It May Be Possible to Raise the
Vessel and Remove Bodies.
A despatch from Quebec nays :
As nearly as can be figured about
800 bodies are entombed in the Em-
press of Ireland at the bottom of
the St. 'Lawrence, three miles off
Father Point, in 100 feet of weter.
Some of the miming may have been
drowned :,after leaving the vessel,
and will come up later, but it is
believed that the great; majority of
them are still in the Empress. No
deeision has been:arrived at as yet
t with .regard to what will be done
--with the vessel itself. Capt.' Walsh,
marine superintendent of the
C.P,R., is now in communication
with several leading salvage firms
of the United States, and heis
awaiting advice from them as to
what ' should be . donewith the
sunken hull. If ab all possible the
ship will be raised and towed to
shore, where the bodies will be
taken out, This, however, depends
upon the advice of the experts.
"The only thing I... can say so
far," said Capt. Walsh, "is that if
it is found possible to remove the
Ireland and get the bodies out of
her it will be done .without any
question a,s to difficulty or ex -
pease."

A despatch from. London says :
Over .a quarter of a, million pounds
sterling was 'Paid 'Out by London
underwriters in satisfaction of Eng-
lish insurance interests involved in
the loss' of the Empress of Ireland.
Now that the vessel has been aban-
doned to the underwriting inter-
ests, the Fin'an•cial Times says there
is little doubt that the .hull will be
dynamited as soon as -the silver and
copper - have.been .recovered. The
total of these metals is estimated at
$50,000. Under no circumstances,
say the underwriters, can the boat
berecovered at a,cost which would
pay for the operation, and the only
object in once.: more raising her to
the surface would be to. place on
record the fact that she was recov-
ered. Their opinion is thee the
sooner she is blown up the better,
it will be for safe navigation of the
St. Lawrence.

certainly less dangerous than the

Empress of Ireland has been laid
to the charge of the St. Lawrence,
but it mast be obvious when two
large steamers are 'approaching
