THE NEWS AT ORLEANS.
Orleans, Mass, December 3.-With the
sending to Boston this afternoon OF all
the remaining bodies from the Portland,
the interest in the recent disaster to that
steamer has lost some of it's force and
Cape Cod is gradually getting back into
condition to meet another destructive
blow.
Still Caps Codders have lost too many
dear ones in storms on the sandy shores
to lack sympathy for those to whom
this blow came SO suddenly, and every In
q uiring relative and friend has been given
every facility for reach
ing the isolated life saving stations, sepa.
rated by long stretches of deep, sandy
roads.
Yet in no case had an extra dollar been
charged or any attempt made to obtain
undue profit from the visitors. Even in
the second storm of Wednesday, when the
whole Cape WAS being swept by gallo,
scarcely less severe than that of Sunday
