Section hands on I he Ioiiisville & Nashville railroad found the bodies of .'IG sailors and llshermen near imnluir station, Iji Saturday afternoon. This brings the totnl number of dead re-mltlng from last Monday's hurricane up to approximately 200. The bodies were badly decomposed and were hurled "ear II Id track bed. without iden tification. Dunbar Is a small station on the l,oiiisville Nashville railroad be tween New Orleans nnd I lay St. Louis, Miss. It is not far from the Rigolets, which connect Lake Korgne, an arm or the onir of Mexico with Lnke I'ontcbartraln . During the hurricane many Muht draught .'-.illing vessels heuiling for the island waters were swept ashore in this section. From day to day the body of u drowned sailor or lislierinun from some of these wrecked schooners has been round and estimates on the total number of dead have been based on the former rate at which these dohies have been discovered. When 3i bodies were found in one place at one time, nil former estimates as to I the number of persons who lost their lives in the gulf coast hurricane were completely upset. ' Diligent Search throughout the same section failed to reveal any more hodies. The cloth ing and appearance of the drowned men plainly showi i their calling, hut there was nothing which would lend to Individual Identification.
