A few minute after th last man Was taken from the water th sloop yacht Violet CapUln Lilly, cam up and th men' wer transferred to her and takeft ahore. Captain Lud lam remained In the vicinity In the hope of finding the bodies of some of the vletima, but saw none. , While this scene was being enacted Itesidenta from Wild wood and Holly Heach came flocking to Anglesea and there waa a. large crowd at the fish ing pier when th Violet came In With th iMctlms.
