Considerable difference of opin ion was expressed as to the num ber of persona in the canoe Some it contained three men others two girls and a man and still oth ers a girl and two men Some one on the Britannia ventured the op inion later that a girl had drowned and the men were trying to con ceal her death The canoeists lost alb their boat trimmings watches and cameras All hands board the steamer Britannia were busily engaged jn sweeping peanut shells off the deck of the vessel which was tied up at the 1 1 NY dock in NVipd sor last night They were loath to converse about the near tragedy in
