    3. Marion The "official" passenger list was published in the Times of June 19, 1896. There is a Mr. Graham listed. The Times of June 20, has the funeral information. "Whole of island attended funeral today, including Vice-Consul Bonar, mayor, and officials of navy. Service extremely impressive and sympathetic. Position of Drummond Castle uncertain, but reported by fishermen lying east of Ushant. Lighthouse keeper will investigate and telegraph direct. Wreaths placed on coffins in names of Sir Donald Currie, friends, and inhabitants, as this grand ceremony has been held for all lost in the wreck, whether recovered or not." The item also talks about some bodies were recovered and were buried on Molene. Times, June 23 lists W. Graham in the updated passenger list of those from Cape Town. Times, June 24 says some buried at Ploudalmezean. Regards..
