Tho Canadian-Pacific Company ha. arranged to bury the unidentified and unclaimed dead on Thursday. It will bear all iho expenses.
An inspection of tho Storstad's bows indicate that it would have been impossible for her to have remained locked in tho Empress of Ireland's side, as her bow wa6 twisted out of shape by the motion of tho Empress of Ireland.
