"NELSON--ONE MORE VICTIM OF PROGRESO FOUND. Body of Edward W. NELSON, a Riveter, Is Found Floating on Bay Near the Wreck of the Ill-Fated Steamer. The body of the eighth victim of the Progreso explosion was found yesterday afternoon floating in the bay, about 600 yards distant from the wrecked steamer. It was later identified as that of Edward W. NELSON, a riveter, who lives with his parents at 232 Mississippi street. The features were unrecognizable, and had it not been for a black scarf found upon the body identification would have been impossible. One leg was missing, and had evidently been blown from the body by force of the explosion. The identification was made by William NELSON, a brother of the dead riveter, and the body was found by Bert RODGERS, an employee of the Wrecking Company. The deceased was twenty-two years of age, and unmarried. The search yesterday, with this single exception, was fruitless, and last night Captain WHITELAW of the WHITELAW Wrecking Company and Coroner LELAND returned with the report that unless explosives could be used no further progress could be made. The ship has been emptied of oil, and for the past few days eight men have been at work clearing away the debris and removing the twisted steel plates, in an attempt to work their way to the forward fire-room, which the body's of the four remaining victims are supposed to lie.
