Captain A. E. Christoffersen, in charge of Ludington coast guard station, said the shore- line was patrolled from Muskegon to Big Point Sable Tuesday and that the area would be covered again today. Four bodies were recovered at Pentwater late Tuesday and 12 at Ludington. One body, believed a member of the crew of the Steamer ANNA C. MINCH, was discovered by Robert Rohn of this city. Nine others were picked up along the Ludington beach by local guardsmen Tuesday afternoon. Early Tuesday evening CCC enrollees, in charge of Captain W. G. McCaw, area inspector, brought two more to Ludington. They were re- covered north of Epworth Heights, west of Lincoln Hills Golf course. The CCC volunteers said they thought other bodies were along the shore, but that they would be unable, because of darkness, to determine for certain until today. CCC and guardsmen crews were out again this morning. There were reports of the finding of bodies at various points this morning, but no more bodies had been returned to Ludington. ===========================================================================
