Show Bodies Seen on Iceberg. New York. Officers of the North German-Lloyd liner Princess Irene, tell of a wireless message which they intercepted on Wednesday in which a ship, the name not learned, reported that in passing fifty miles from the scene of the Titanic disaster she had sighted an iceberg on which were the bodies of more than a dozen men; all wore lifebelts and the bodies were huddled in groups at the base of the iceberg. It was the opinion of the officers of the ship that the men had climbed on the mass of ice and had frozen to death as they were swept southward. No attempt was made to take off the bodies. |
