Identified.

Boston, Dee. 4-When the first train
from the Cape arrived, at II O'Clock yes
terday, there were 300 people on the plat
form at the Old Colony station. There
were but three or four mournerS present,
the balance being curiosity seekers, who
that contained the bodies of the victims
of the Inflated steamer Portland.
Twelve bodies arrived in Boston on the
noon train and three more came by the
evening train. Eight We're of those who
had been lost on the Portland, and the
other four were members of the crew of
the schooner Lester H..Lewis. The body
brought up. Saturday. was left off at
Braintree. to be taken to her home in
Weymouth.
There We're six unknown bodies and two
identified One of the bodies was that of
Mrs. Jennie G. Edmunds of q Marion
street. East Boston. The body was IN
charge of her husband. The other was
selin of Montreal. 1t was accompanied by
Officer Smith of that city, who will return
with the body.
Immediately after these two bodies had
been cared for, the unknown We're re-
moved from the train and carried 10 the
North Grove Street Morgue. There they
will await identification. They are num-
bered as follows: No. l, 10, 20, 90, "a and 26.
The other four bodies were those OF
men who were frozen to death in the rig
ging of the schooner Lester H. Lewis,
which grounded on Peaked Hill Bars,
Sunday morning, during the storm.
They were Isaac H. Herrick, Nelson
P. Hatch. The bodies will be sent to their
homes at once. They are in the care Of
Chief Wade, as are the six unknown
bodies.

ALL HANDS PERISH.
An Unknown Schooner's Crew Goes Down
With Help in Plain Sight.

New York. Dec. 4.-The trim Nova

ports terrible experiences encountered
during the recent hurricane.
I'VE have had a hard time" said
Capt. Kemp. land / do not recollect
that l have ever seen such weather on
the North Atlantic since first went to
sea. During the hurricane, Nov. %, in
lat. 1922; lon. 72.20, we sighted a
schooner of about 700 tons, flying sig
nails of distress. 1t was nearly dark at
the time and her crew could be seen on
the decks gesticulating frantically for
assistance. / told them that my boats
were useless. They said that they
would come to us in their own boats.
During this time we laid to, but
found that we were drifting rapidly to
the leeward. We went about on the
other tack and managed to cross the
bow of the wreck and again drifted to
a leeward position. We hailed again
but get no answer.
In the meantime another three
masted schooner came to our assist
ance and assumed position to wind
ward. Both of us stood by until day
light. When morning broke the wreck
was seen TO be deserted and the boats
gone. 1t is supposed that the unfor-
tunate men had attempted to launch
their boats during the night and were
lost. 1t was impossible for them to get
to the other schooner owing to the ter
rible seas and wind.
The wreck was very low in the
water and we were unable to distin-
guish her name. Finding that we could
do nothing further we put our vessel on
her course.
The gale continued throughout the
2Sth and moderated on the 18th, when
after abating for six hours, another
gale sprang up and blew harder than
ever. During this latter gale on the
eSth we ran into considerable quanti-
ties of yellow pine timber about IL to
IS inches square and had considerable
difficulty in getting clear of the i'm
mense quantity which floated about.

that the Portland went down some DIS
lance off shore. Talking OF the cause
of wrecks in general. and this sandy
peninsula gets it's share of them every
year. Capt. Sparrow said that the chief
cause was that of ignorance of the
coast. 1t is seldom that a vessel whose
master thoroughly knows the tides, the
winds and the bars, will go ashore, ex-
cept it be that in the thick weather he
loses his bearing, and is nearer the
shore than he should be. Then if the
wind be a northeastern, he is blown on
the beach and nothing can save MN.
But the most tragic wrecks on the
Cape Cod sands have been those of for
eign vessels. Frequently, as in the
case of the splendid British clipper ship
Jason, lost in December, 1898, these
ships sight the sand hills of the cape.
If they were familiar with the local
storm conditions they might save
themselves. But trusting to their OWN
judgment and to their charts, which
are not always too accurate, they take
ordinary precautions only. when extra
ordinary ones are imperative.

Portland's Life Preservers Found Filled

Proyincetown; Dee. Among the

Many of them have come ashore nearly

PENTAGOET GIVEN Up.
Agent Quimby of Bangor. Thinks the
Steamer Is Lost

Bangor, Me-, Dec. 4.-There is a rumor
tagoet, to the effect that the New York
officials of the line have been informed
that wreckage had been picked up on the
shores of Cape Cod which had. every APP
pearance of having come from the Penta-
goet Such advices were sent by the New
York officials to the eastern agent, Henry
c. Quimby of this city.
Mr.. Quimby was seen, last night by the
Globe correspondent and said that it was
true that he had received such informa-
ton. but as the officers in New York were
not certain that the report was true. and
as he had received nothing further from
them regarding the matter although he
had been in communication with them
Yesterday. by wire, he did not deem that
had said nothing about it to anybody UNI
III the Globe man questioned him, this
evening. He hardly believed that it could
be true.
Mr.. Quimby said that he had practically
given up all hope of ever hearing from
the steamer and he believed that the Off
GERS IN New York think that she has gone
to the bottom. They have been trying IL
secure another steamer to take her place.
but have met with no success, and think
IN mat they Will have to wait until one of
the other boats owned by the COMPANY Is
IN readiness for service.
The statement that Capt. A. NJ Web
ster, wife and child We're passengers on
the Pentagoet is not credited by Mr.
Quimby. The steamer was not licensed
TO carry passengers and had no accom-
modations whatever for anybody exceut
the crew.
Mr.. Quimby says that Capt. f. p. Trask
OF Bangor. was refused passage ON tha
steamer in New York when she sailed an
her last trip. by the officials there be-
cause she was not licensed for passenger
travel. He put his baggage aboard tha
steamer and came home by train.

the men terribly excited, to learn what
danger threatened them.
Capt. Thomson and the officers of the
boat explained that there was no danger,
that the alarm had been sounded to bring
the crew to fire quarters. y slight blaze
had been discovered in the midships part
of the boat, where hot ashes thrown from
the furnaces had ignited the sheathing.
The incipient blaze was quickly
quenched and the fears of the passengers
allayed.
