Hundreds of un fortunates were caught between decks and drowned like rats in a trap without u chance for their lives, for the list of the ship was too gradual and imperceptible to cause alarm and capsizing so suddenly there was absolutely no warning. Thousands caught upon the decks were injured by jumping or being thrown upon the docks or %ere drowned when they fell into the swift running river. Chicago is in mourning; all her morgues, both temporary and permanent are filled with the dead; all her hospitals are oerflowing with the injured. The city has not been so stirred since the fearful Iroquois disaster on December 24, 1903. Photographs shows (above) the overturned steamship Eastland and the passengers who managed to climb upon its upturned side during the capsizing, clambering aboard the tug boats which came to the rescue; (below) the body of a dead girl which had just been dragged aboard a tug from the water; (below right) rescuers hoist ing from the steamship's hold the body of a girl drowned between the decks of the ship, where she was caught without a single chance to fight for her life.
