THE LOOTING.

The City of Rockland has furnished
the great sensation of the summer sea-
son in this vicinity, says the Rockland
Courier Gazette. Now that she is beach
ed on the shores of our harbor and in
fair way soon to make the trip to Bos-
ton for repairs that shall put her back
into active service, it is proper to pause
for moment in thankful contempla-
ton Of the escape from disaster that
might have been extended to dreadful
proportions. That there was no loss of
life attending the wreck can be attribut-
ed to number of causes, but most peo-
pie will recognize that Providence di-
rected the affair to a conclusion in
which the sorrow connected with death
did not have to play part. One feature
we feel must always occasion regret.
We refer to the looting. With the
Rockland f1oated and likely soon to be
back upon this coast, people must
naturally ask why her owners should
be at the expense of restoring the furn-
ishings of the boat which were so ruth
less stripped out of her while she lay
aground on the rocks The steamer was
private property; in danger, it is true,
but so long as she was not abandoned
by the owners her cargo and equipment
could be in no sense legitimate object
of salvage-much less of loot.
