Wanted to Get Important News from
Cape Cod to Boston.
This problem Of getting news back
Ia the ONCE worries a reporter more
than anything else when heels sent
ont Of town, says Everybody's Maga-
zine. The ingenuity displayed is
sometimes marvellous and frequently
ID expensive. Still II is not unusual
for 4 reporter to send message
twice across the Atlantic in order to
establish communication with a place
eighty miles away.
Carberry did this when he covered
the wreck OF the Portland of Cape
Cod in December, 1898. 1t was bitter
work travelling up and down the coast
In that zero weather, seeking to iden-
tify the bodies Of those washed
ashore, collecting facts about the last
terrible hours; but the knowledge
that one train left for Boston at 3
O'Clock in the afternoon and that sN
the wires were down gave Carberry
and his associates their keenest an
guish, for the important news had
developed after that hour. II there
was no direct wire to Boston there
was a cable from Orleans, on the
Cape Cod coast to Havre. France.
Carberry sent a dispatch to Boston
by way OF France and New York, a
distance OF 5000 miles. Orleans Is
eighty miles from Boston by railroad,
and is not much more than half
that distance as the crow flies.
