SEGHENYDD RAILWAY DISASTER.
THREE HUNDRED BODIES KE-HEART-RENDING SCENES. By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright Received Tuesday, 10.15 p.m. London, Tuesday. Three hundred bodies have now been recovered at Seghenydd and the exploring parties have concluded the search. They found everywhere evidence of the struggle the victims made to escape. It was heartrending to see the dead lying together in groups, coats closely wrapped oyer their mouths and heads endeavouring to hide themselves from the fearful after-damp. The commotion must have been terrible and the excitement agonising. For a workman to walk in to-day and carry out a body is itself a heroic achievement. In every case the indications pointed to speedy deaths from suffocation.
