n the Titanic. That the
body of William T. Stead, the English journalist and author, had
been recovered by the Mackay-Bennett, but through a freakish error in
wireless transmission the name of another was reported instead, was one
of the theories advanced by persons familiar with the Morse code.

BREMEN SIGHTED MORE THAN A HUNDRED BODIES

When the German liner Bremen reached New York the account of its having
sighted bodies of the Titanic victims was obtained.

From the bridge, officers of the ship saw more than a hun-dred bodies
floating on the sea, a boat upside down, together with a number of small
pieces of wood, steamer chairs and other wreckage. As the cable ship
Mackay-Bennett was in sight, and having word that her mission was to
look for bodies, no attempt was made by the Bremen's crew to pick up the
corpses.

In the vicinity was seen an iceberg which answered the description of
the one the Titanic struck. Smaller bergs were sighted the same day, but
at some distance from where the Titanic sank.

The officers of the Bremen did not care to talk about the tragic

Mrs. Johanna Stunke, a first-cabin passenger, described the scene from
the liner's rail.

"It was between 4 and 5 o'clock, Saturday, April 20th," she said, "when
our ship sighted an iceberg off the bow to the starboard. As we drew
nearer, and could make out small dots floating around in the sea, a
feeling of awe and sadness crept over everyone on the ship.

"We passed within a hundred feet of the southernmost drift of the
wreckage, and looking down over the rail we distinctly saw a number
of bodies so clearly that we could make out what they were wearing and
whether they were men or women.

"We saw one woman in her night dress, with a baby clasped closely to
her breast. Several women passengers screamed and left the rail in a
fainting condition. There was another woman, fully dressed, with her
arms tight around the body of a shaggy dog.

"The bodies of three men in a group, all clinging to one steamship
chair, floated near by, and just beyond them were a dozen bodies of men,
all of them encased in life-preservers, clinging together as though in
a last desperate struggle for life. We couldn't see, but imagined that
under them was some bit of wreckage to which they all clung when the
ship went down, and which didn't
