Story of the Wreck of the Portland
May Never Be Known-Other
Vessels Lost.

Provincetown, Dec. 1.-THE story OF
the wreck of the Portland, which was
lost in last Sundays storm off High
land Beach, will probably never be
told Of all the ships company Of
over 100 souls not one survived. Nine
teen bodies have come ashore, and it
is not likely that many more will be
recovered. Following is a list Of the
bodies so far washed ashore:
At Orleans-E. Dudley Freeman of
Yarmouth, Me-, prominent attorney
George W. Delaney, Boston; bodies of
six women, two men and colored
waiter.
At Well Fleet-George Graham (col-
ored), porter Of Portland.
At Provincetown-Wi Mosher
of Gorhan, Me; body of woman about
so years of age; body of unknown
colored man.
On Nauset Beach-Body of man be-
lieved to be John Walton, second en-
gineer of the Portland.
Three bodies are at Eastman, but
their description could not be OBJ
tanned here. The exact number of per-
sons who were carried away from BOs-
ton by the Portland will probably new
err be known, as no list of passengers
was retained on shore when the vessel
left. G. F. Williams, Boston agent Of
the Portland Steamship company,
places the total number of persons on
the steamer at 100 and possibly 105
This estimate is regarded as rather
small. 1t has been stated that the
number was as high as 155, but Will
1iams denies that so many sailed on
the Portland 1t has been said that
120, including passengers and crew,
is nearly correct.
Steamer Ainsworth Wrecked
Nelson, B. c., Dec. 1.-The steamer
Ainsworth, plying between Nelson AMI
Bonners Ferry, was wrecked Tuesday
night during a storm on Kootenai
Lake, six of her crew and three pas
sengers being drowned.
Walker May Be Lost.
Gloucester, Dec. 1.-As considerable
wreckage marked F. R. Walker came
ashore at Race Point, it is feared thai
that schooner has been lost in the re-
cent gale. She was commanded by
Captain Miller and had a crew of four
teen men.

What is the use of making a
better article than your competi.
tor if you can not get a better
price for it
Ans.-As there is no difference
in the price the public will buy
only the better, so that while our
profits may be smaller on a single
sale they will be much greater in
the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best ?
If both articles are brought pro-
minently before the public both
are certain to be tried and the
public will be very quickly pass
judgment on them and use only
the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The people have been using it for
years and have found that it can
always be depended upon. They

INTERESTING TO MARINERS

The Pilot Chart OF the North
Pacific Ocean, issued by the Unit.
ed States photographic Bureau,
for December contains a diagram
with accompanying remarks, on
the Sailing Route from the West
Coast of the United States TO the
Hawaiian Islands" There is a
table OF sixteen voyages in 1897
from coast ports to the islands. 1t
lie remarked:
The great circle distance from
the light on the Farallones to Ho-
nolulu is 1860 miles, while that
from CapeFlattery Light to Homo
lulu is 2265 miles. The sailing
distance between the same ports,
following the routes usually pur-
sued, is in the first case about
22O0 miles, and in the second
some 300 miles greater. The du-
ration of the passage from San
Francisco ranges from 10 days in
the case of the schooner r. w.
Bartlett to 81 days for the bark
Martha Davis, the average of the
nine passages being IA days.
Summer passages average II days;
winter passages l3 days. The
general average of the seven pas
sages from Juan de Fuca Straitis
26 days, ranging from Is days fol
the schooner John ID. Tallant to
35 days for the bark Fresno.
"The striking feature in these
figures is the notable increase in
the time requisite for the voyage
when starting from Puget Sound
over that required when starting
from San Francisco. Here the
additional sailing distance is
about Is percent, or less than one.
fifth, whereas the additional time
consumed amounts to sc percent
or more than four-ffths."
An explanation of this anomaly
is given by the Chart, which il
too technical to be reproduced
apart from the diagram. A
method of avoiding the delay is
given, however, which is "by
making the southing," in voyages
from the sound, "as far as the
latitude of San Francisco east of
the l30th meridian and then fol.
lowing the usual route from that
port" By a deduction from
average voyages from Juan
de Fucs Strait and San
Francisco to the equator, it is
shown that, by adopting the fore.
going method, the voyage from
the Strait ought to be 49, days in
duration instead of 26 days over
the usual route.

marshmallows is this: To half pound

A bright fire of pine wood should be

sticks cut from shingle and sharpened
at one end, as well as decorated with a
ribbon, are passed around. Then each
person provides himself with marsh
mallow and proceeds to roast 1t. Held
to the fire it first puffs up and then
grows brown. Great fun Is hadin know

one who browns marshmalloW the

sumes the most. THIS will occasion
some gorging, especially among the
sterner sex. Fruit and fancy drinks
will be acceptable to the sweetened
