TUSCANIA DEAD
ABE BURIED IN
SCOTCH TOWNS
371 Victims of German Subsea
Warfare Laid to Rest; Un
able to Obtain Supply
of Coffins.
iBy A nor luted Press.)
A Scotch Seaport, Tuesday, Feb.
12. Up to Tuesday night, a week
after the disaster, 171 victims of the
ill-fated Tuscania had been laid jto
rest at different points on the Scot
tish coast.
These were divided as follows:
, Americans, 131 identified and 33 un
identified. Crew, four identified and three un
identified. Associated Press Data.
The Associated Prtfss correspond
ent co-operated with the American
army officers in obtaining these fig
ures, which go forward to Washing
ton as the most accurate and com
plete list obtainable.
The last 17 of these bodies recov
ered were all Americans were buried
this afternoon, villagers again com--ing
many miles in a downpour of
rain to pay their simple tribute to the
American dead.
The bodies were brought to the
burial place on one big motor truck,
which was followed along the route
several miles long by the squad of
- 25 khaki-clad American survivors and
the village mourners. One of the vil
lagers carried the Union Jack, while
an American soldier held aloft the
Stars and Stripes.
At ,the graveside the "American sol
diers 'sang the "Star Spangled Ban
ner," followed by the natives singing
"God Save the King." The usual mili
tary salute was then fired, ending the
ceremony. i ,
Temporary fences have been built
around the graves to be replaced by
a permanent enclosure as -soon as the
materials can be brought to these
k desolate shores.
Will Erect Monument.
A British colonel, who has worked
day and night since tlie disaster help
ing the Americans bury their dead,
announced today that the people ol
the nearby countrysde had started a
public subscription to eret a perma
nent monument to tne Americans.
Thtere are eight Americans still
here too ill to leave, several sf them
still dazed by their experiences. They
are Quartered in nearby farm houses
arid village hotels.
These men are: F. I. Benefiel, E.
L. Lystrom, WilBUr C. Nutt, Boyd E.
Hancock, E. E. Harpham, Henry
Schurting, James J. Colwell and F. A.
Gocher.
Two clergymen came many miles
and read the Scotch and Episcopal
services, after which volunteers fired
thee volleye, which re-echoed against
the hillsides. While this was going
on, the only photographer within
twenty miles photographed the scene.
Bodies Horribly Mutilated.
" The ceremony was much the same
as -was carried out at the same spot
on the previous day, when 43 Amer
icans were lain at rest in two other
graves. So badly mutilated were : nany
of the 'bodies that two American
army officers who were sent here from
London expressly for the purpose,
' found it impossible to take finger
prints for identification purposes.
Identified by Metal Discs.
Among the treacherous, ldw-lying
rocks 20 miles farther north, the next
greatest number was found 49. Mid
way between these tiwo points 44
bodies were recovered in a small cove,
16 of which the correspondent helped
to bury today.
When a few bodies were found at
scattered places they were brought
to a ""more centralized point and
and buried with many others in one
or two large trenches. A majority
of the dead were identified through
the metal discs which the men wore.
There were about 20 instances
of men wearing blank tags, but in
spite of this fact a majority of them
were identified by a general descrip
tion of the body and papers carried
ky the men in their pockets.
So riiany bodies came ashore be
tween the cliffs and in inaccessible
places that great difficulty was ex
perienced in conveying them to bur
ial places. Some bodies were dashed
f pon the rocks at the base of pre
ipitous cliffs higher than the pali
sades of the Hudson river. At one
point 44 bodies were recovered at the
base of cliffs which rose to a height
of 300 feet, making it impossible to
remove them more than a few yards
'from the -water's edge
Hard to Obtain Coffins.
'- The absence of timber on the bar-
ren lands out of which to make cof
fins delayed the burials and made it
necessary to buryultimately most of
the bodies of the men in their uni
forms, covered with canvas. Some few
coffin's were provided from trees cut
down for the purpose.
An undertaker at the point where
the 60 bodies were found soon ex
hausted his small supply of coffins.
Thereupon the owner of a big, estate
immediately ordered out all of his em
ployes to cut down the only clump
of trees within miles in order to make
coffins This provided 25. No more
trees were to be found on the other
wise barren land, so it was decided
to place the coffins at the bottom
of a great pit and then lay the bodies
of some of the men in rows on top
of them. The overlayer of khaki-clad
.soldFers was placed in one great sheet
of canvas. Another ten bodies were
laid over this row and so on until all
were ready for burial.
At the point where 40 bodies were
buried no timber whatsoever was
x available and all the men had to be
buried without coffins.
Extend Time for Soldiers f
To Apply for Insurance
Washington. Feb. 13. The time in
which soldiers and sailors who en
tered the service morethan. 20 days
ago may apply for government vol
untary life insurance, which would
have expired last night, was extended
to April 12, under a joint resolution
approed by President Wilson.
Secretary McAdoo explained, how
ever, that this extension does not
apply to automatic insurance without
