The list of drowned can now be ascertained with a tolerable degree of certainty. In all so more than twenty lives were lost in the wreck. After two days' constant employmen In cruising the Pass and the adjiceni waters of Lantao, the scavenging taunch of the Tung Wa Hospital succeeded in recovering only four bodies yesterday. Three of them wer women (two of whom had." small, that is, bound feet) and a map supposed to be of 40-50 years of age.

The plice picked up two corpses yesterday a man and a woman; and to-day two more (both males) were recovered, making eight in all, Sergeant David was steaming into the harbour to-day from Capsuimonn when he came across one of the two hodier. The second one was found floating in the harbour near the Canton steamer's what.
