Ai the young lads were brought to shore, tbey were tenderly cared for by tie cottagers. A hush fell over the merry picnicers and tbere was hardly a dry eye among .them as tbe yonng survivors told of the unfortu nate circumstances surrounding the !o6s of their comrades. Many a heart throbbed in sympathy and many a lilent prayer was ottered for the betrt broken parents who were soon to be notified of tbe terrible loss they bad to suddenly sustained.
