BOSTON. Nov. 29.-The passing hours
do not bring an end TO the reports OF
wrecks and loss of life up and down
the New England coast as the outcome
of Sundays terrific storm. From Cape
Cod the most terrible accounts of ruin
and death are coming, and Of these the
loss Of the steamer Portland, with all
on board, nearly 100 souls, overshad-
ows all The graveyard Of the coast,
the treacherous bars and rips on the
outside of Cape Cod have claimed VIC
Tins without number. Miles and miles
of coast line are piled high with wreck
age, most of which is ground so fine
by the waves that identification Of help
less craft is impossible.
AS the fury of the wind was as great
on the bleak sand hills which make up
the Cape, it will be many hours before
all places are heard from. Telegraph
wires are down and railroads cannot
break out of the snowdrifts and this
feature is distressing as much suffering
from cold and hunger must ensae
among the poorer people in the nearby
hamlets.
Tonight the only means of reaching
Cape Cod is by steamer across Massa-
chusetts Bay, disagreeable voyage, as
the sea is yet boisterous. Word from
Provincetown tells of nearly thirty
wrecks, with the number of lives lost
unknown.
Matters are improving slightly along
Vineyard Sound, so far as means OF
communication is concerned. The best
summing UP of the disasters in that
section is made by Captain Hard, Jr.,
of the revenue cutter Dexter, who has
cruised along the shore all day. He
says that in Vineyard Haven hulls are
piled upon the shore, and those vessels
which are afloat seem mere shells. The
Dexter reports possible additions to rhe
wreck list in two schooners sunk off
Menemsha Light and two big ones sunk
abreast of Pesque Isle The fate OF
their crews is unknown. Three wreck
ing steamers are around the Fairfax,
ashore on Sow and Pigs Reef.

by the heavy seas. The bodies of the
cook and the seaman were also recov-

Hancock, her lips pursed up primly, ap-
preached with her order book in hand.
How do you do Carrier" said Mar
guerite, stiff1y.
How do you do, Miss Hancock" said
Carrie. Miss Hancock, this is my hus-
band, Mr.. Turner. Miss Hancock,
George"
Miss Hancock looked coldly compass
sionate and murmured, "Mr. Turner" !"
Mr. Turner blushed little and said he
was pleased to- meet Miss Hancock, and
then looked at his brightly polished tan
shoes in an embarrassed sort Of way,
and fingered the mustache that as pic
tured in the medallion had been the
principal cause of estrangement be-
tween the two girls.
There was moments pause, during
which the bride bowed graciously and
condescendingly to one of the floor
walkers; then Marguerite extracted one
of her pencils from her hair and looked
business like
did you want to osder anything ?"
she asked
Yes answered the bride. st
think there are few things we want.
Have you any of Boules coffee?"
mo, we haven't There's our special
brand in pound cans, thirty cents, would
you like that?"
Il told you they wouldn't keep that"
said Mrs. Turner to her husband. we
don't want the stuff they put up
There's the crushed Mocha and Java
for fifteen, and there's special sale of
double cross, six packages for 81. But
suppose you wouldn't want as much
as that
Il don't believe We would care for any
Of it," remarked the bride, with dig
nifty. I'VE want sardines''
Eight cents box. More than one
box?" inquired Marguerite.
Why, those adn't the imported ex-
claimed Mrs. Turner.
Imported? Why. no. Did you want
the imported?"
Certainly"
Twenty CENTS" she said. How many
boxes?'
"Oh, I don't know. A dozen, guess"
The young husband looked rather
startled
I'VE can use them, George" said his
wife, reassuringly
Laundry soap.'' suggested Marguer-
ite.

young woman in the prismatic garb,
with more than suspicion Of hauteur.

venomous smile.
Mrs. Turner's gloved hands trembled
as they held the china, and she bit her
lip. Never mind,' said she. II guess
we won't trouble you any more; that
will be ALL"
Marguerite smiled again. Anything
in meats?" she said. Dry salt bacon?"
Nothing more, thank you,' said the
bride. you can make out our check"

BLOCK ISLAND A WRECK.
MRS. TURNER'S SHOPPING.
Trip Was Not as Pleasant as She
Expected.

There was a buzz of excitement in the
grocery order room OF the department
store when Carrie Turner and her hus-
band walked in.
Everybody knew the husband from
the big photograph medallion Carrie
had worn at her throat when she, too,
carried a bristling assortment of pen
ellis In her hair and an order book in
her pocket. Carrie used to refer vague
ly to the original of the medallion as
her gentleman friend when the girls
asked about him, but everybody had
understood that she was going to mar
ry him.
Now it was Carrie herself who was
hard to recognize. She was one gor-
geous dash Of color, cleaning, glow
ing butterfly, a bird of polychromatic
plumage. Her skirt was of lilac striped
silk, which swore noisily at the pre-
vailing blue in the tartan of her waist
and growled at her cherry colored neck
ribbons, which in their turn fretted at
the purple ostrich tips in the umbra-
geous orange lined picture hat
Marguerite Hancock afterward said
she was the most distressed looking, y
but there was a note Of envy in her
voice as she said it. Carries ample
watch chain and new tan kid gloves
had had the desired effect after ALL
1t was unfortunate that it was Satur-
day and q busy day at that, for the
girls were all seated at their respective
tables, and no one was free to flutter
up with congratulations. Nevertheless
they saw every detail Of the brides cos
tune, and Carrie was fairly we'll satis-
fed She rustled to a table that had
just been vacated, and, seating herself
spread out her striped skirts, ddffusing
as she did so a strong odor of white rose
perfume. Then she m0tioned to her
husband to seat himself beside her, and
bending over the table, whispered
something to him and giggled.
She became Instantly serious and
somewhat languid when Marguerite

was valued at $3.50, 0,000 and is fully in

DR. Maurice Richardson of Beacon
street this city was at his summer
home at Well Fleet during the storm,
| and corroborated 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 vessels name. DR.. Richardson was
on the first train from Cape Cod which
arrived here late tonight.
II saw two of the bodies picked up"
said Dr. Richardson. "One was prob
ably that of deck hand, a man Of
about 20. He had on a life preserver
marked Portland. The other body was
that of stout woman. She, too, wore
a life belt with the steamers name on
it. Wreckage is coming ashore for f1f-
teen miles along the coast. Among the
wreckage were cases of lard directed to
the Portland
In addition to two bodies, DR.. Rich
ardson brought news at Orleans that
the body Of a girl Of about 20 was
found. She had gold watch and a
ring marked ~ G. E." Her watch
stopped at 9:17. There are three bodies
at Nauset, eight at Orleans and twenty
eight at Truro and Well Fleet. The
double wheel of the Portland came
ashore at Orleans.
TWELVE BODIES WASH ASHORE.
