OSTEND COLLISION.
FURTHER BODIES RECOVERED. (United Press Association—By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright.) OSTEND, August 5. Nine more bodies have been recovered. Twenty-nine are in hospital. One woman died. It is believed that there are still 15 bodies lying in the harbour. [A message received yesterday stated that a pleasure boat entering the hour collided close to the wharf with another, which was leaving, and sank immediately. Over sixty people who were aboard, mostly elderly people and children, were thrown into the water. There was no time to lower the boats, or to issue lifebelts. Boatmen nearby rushed to the scene and saved between thirty and forty. Fifteen bodies so far have been recovered, and twenty injured have been taken to hospital.]
