Dozens Of Vessels
Comb Sea For Any
Possible Survivors
ST. NAZAIRE, France—{(AP)—
Dozens of harbor ecrait picked
their way across the Bay of Bis
cay. today with lookouts scanning
the water for the hodies of more
than 400 men, women and chil
dren, drowned yesterday when a
hurricane capsiZzed the excursion
steamer St. Philibert.
Eight persons were rescued and
eight hodies have Been recovered.
It is possible that others escaped
death and have not yet reported
their safety, but the toll of the
disaster was estimated with as
much accuracy as possible at 442
dead.
There was an admittedly slim
chance that a final check would
reveal that many of the passen
gers had left the boat before the
storm struck. .
It was barely possible also that
some of those aboard may have
reached the short in safety be
,tWeen Pointe Dex St. Gildas and
the Loire river, There can be no
definite check until the' families
of those aboard the steamer have
‘reported to police, :
' The St, Philibert was a flimsy
100-foot river steamer, She put
out from Nantes® yesterday aft
ornoon with a crowd of picknick
ers on an outine run by a labor
organization. She steamed down
the river to St. Nazarine and
across the Bay to the island of
iNairmoutier, not far to the South.
There most of the passengers
went ashore, The weather was
threatening whan the steamer put
out on the return trip and at
first it was reported a hundred

back by boat. Later this was
proved erroneous and it was said
