Besides the large number of wrecks off our coast and in the 2. ..ibor, Boston is likely to keep a ni--iiiento of the Storm for some weeks to come in the large fall of snow which was acre-sory to it. There were eleven inches in the lfall and that is the record for this early ‘ inthe season in the memory of the very The Big Storm-Poor Life , Preservers -- A Steamer Breaks a Record- Curfew Law-Motor Vehicles-Six Day Cycle Race-A Rising Islander. Bosros. Mass , Dec. 5.--The all- absorbing topic hereabouts the past week has of course been the big storm,: which occurred a wetk ago Saturday night and the horrors it left in its train. 'I`he.greatest fatality was the wreck of the Portland, a side-Wheeler. which plied between this city and Portland, Me. The exact number of the passen- gers may nevcr be accurately known, for the purser on thc ship had the only complete list. Enough is known, how- ever, to place the total of passengers and crew at the appalling figure of 160, and up to today there is no reason to hope that a single person was saved. The circumstances connected with her wreck, too, are matters for conjecture and theorizing. The bodies recove red about 30 thus far, came ashore on the southerly side of Cape Cod, which was many miles out of the ste:-i.mer’s course. There has been very little wreckage come ashore, and, most peculiar of all, there has been no sign whatever of either life rafts or small boats. The future may give fuller information, but now the wreck is a closed book. The finding of some water-logged life preservers about some of the bodies washed ashore has caused considerable talk about the relative merits of the different kinds of life preservers which ese are usu y p . solid coik, the chipped or granulated the latter kind which is the cheapest. The chipped cork comes next in price, lthe solid cork being the most expensive. It seems that the Board of Steamboat Inspectors have passed the tule grass preserver, but now the question will probably be opened again. This wreck will no doubt make the travelling pub- lic wary of taking passage on this class of steamers, especially in the fall of the year. The steamer Halifax of the Plant Line, andthe Boston of the Yar- mouth Line were both out in the storm, but came through all right. I saw no mention of any Piince Edward Island people being on the boat. [here were a couple of irien ~froni St John, one from Nova Scotia and two from Mon-- trezil. one of whom was the assistant , city clerk of that city. ` An incident of the wreck of this steamer is the bringing to light of the fact of the average large number of people who are missing in a large city and its vicinity. Hundreds their missing friends, and no doubt, many people will .always think t d w on of people have written or come to the steamboat coinpany’s otlices in search of that their absent ones wen o n the Portland. This fact of the large number ot people always missing also is in evidence whenever the body of an __ __ 1 "oldest inhabitant-°` ‘ The new steamer of the Doininion Atlantic ll iilivav (loiiiixiny, the Prince George. made her first trip bctivecn Yarmouth, N. S., and this port last week, replacing the Prince Edward She is a larger and better boat than the Prince Edward. The latter boat. will be run on the St. John-Digby route during the winter months. W.
