with the method of handling steamers
of the Portland's build, said this evening
TO the PRESS correspondent that IN MS
opinion the vessels engines were work
ing until she struck. He traces the
course of events as follows: The FORT

course until she had passed Thatcner's
Island, because at that point sne was
sighted by the schooner Maud 8, and WAS
proceeding all right How much further
she went is only matter Of conjecture.

the storm that he could not make Port
land, Capt. Blanchard headed the vessel
of shore so that the wind and seq were
on the port bow. In this position at
tempting to work off shore, she was car
ried to leeward and not being able to
weather the Cape was driven OH to the
shoal water under the Highlands ana
there struck and went to pieces. Had the
vessels engines been disabled as she
was in the rough of the sea, her upper
works would have been broken up. The
fact that the bodies washed ashore were
those of passengers would indicate that
tbs deck hands of the boat had not been
broken up when she struck and that all
on board were then alive.
This is borne out that the watch found
on one of the victims was stopped at $. IL,
only little earlier than the hour OF
which the Portland was reported to have
been lost. Another theory is that the
steamer was making for Provineetown
and in the thick snow storm got of her
course. The fact that the tonnage mark
OF the steamer was found shows how
complete was the destruction of the vss-
sal; for this mark on side-wheelers is
placed on thee carline of the companion
way in the interior of the ship.

rated the early accounts Of the loss of the
Portland, for he saw two of the bodies
washed ashore and on them were life
preservers marked with the vessel S
name. DR.. Richardson was on the first
train from Cape Cod, which arrived in
this city late tonight. To take the train
he was obliged to ride IS miles
II saw two OF the bodies picked up,
said DR.. Richardson. Zone was prob.
ably that of deck hand, man of about
20. He had on life preserver marked

a stout woman. She. too, wore a life
belt with the steamers name on il.

keys and piano came ashore, but OF
course / do not know that it was from

a large quantity of furniture upholstered

10 some Portland firm whose name do
not recall. This was Tabled Glass,

81 was Is miles south of High Head
There Is nothing in the fact that wreck
uge was found SO far south, to contradict
tna report that it was at High Head that
the Portland struck, for the current runs
south along the shore and at a speed so
great that a man walking through the
neayy sand would have hard work to
keep up with the floating objects in the
current. In fact, heard one theory adj
vanced that the Portland had foundered
far 10 the north, somewhere near Cape
Ann and that all the wrsckage and
bodies had drifted across the bay to Cape
Cod.''
In addition to the two bodies, DIR.
Richardson brought news that at Orleans
the body OF girl of about 90 was found.
She haa gold watch and ring marked
-. q. E. Her watch stopped at 9.17.
There are three bodies at Nauset, eight
at Orleans and rs at Truro and Wellfleet.
The double wheel of the Portland came
ashore at Orleans.
DIR. Richardson when asked about the
report that the Gate City was ashore at
Peaked Hill bars, was emphatic in his
statement that he did not believe it was

this man simply repeated report
which he had heard.

Agent williams Tribute To Capt.
Blanchard.

| Boston, November mo official news
OF The wreck of the Portland had been re-
ceiyed at the Office of the company up to
/ O'Clock. The officials, however, had no
doubt that she was wrecked, and SO in
formed all inqnirers.
Agent Williams was kept busy answer :
ing questions, and the ticket seller gave
most of mis- time responding to the tele-
phone, which rang almost constantly.
Every caller, both at the office and by
telephone, wanted to know something of
the lost steamer.
10 the reporters Agent Williams said: =
"There is no reason to doubt the pub
lished story of the wreck of the Portland.
The newspaper accounts have every ap-
pearance of truth.
"There is no passenger llsb at the office,
as it is not our custom TO keep asdupli-
cate.
''We have had hundreds of callers here
asking for persons who were on board,
but we have kept no list of the names
asked for. The Portland had full
equipment of life preservers, RATS and
lifeboats, and was supplied with every
thing that the law requires for the safety
of the passengers.
Capt. Blanchard has had command
of the Portland since last April, and be-
fore that was pilot on other boats of the
company. He was considered one of the
most careful men in the company's en-
ploy, and we cannot conceive that he
would lose his boat without making
every effort TO save the lives of the pas
sengers.
81 hope tho story ia not true, but If it
is SO, you will find some one telling how
it happened, that Capt. Blanchard did
his duty as man and captain OF steam

vessels have been wrecked, involving the
