WARRNAMBOOL DISASTER.
MORE BODIES. RECOVERED. MELBOURNE, Jan. 11. Ten bodies have been recovered from the Warrnambool disaster. . It is believed this completes the list. (Eleven - persons were drowned in the Hopkins River at Warrnambool, on Sunday. Eighty persons were journeying on a pleasure trip in a motor boat -which sprang a leak and sank in ten minutes. The victims were mostly local residents. The motor-boat began to leak immediately after starting, and filled so fast that the effort to run ashore was unavailing, and she drifted into deep water. The bulk of the passengers, however, managed to scramble ashore, many badly exhausted.)
