It was only then that the full enormity of the tragedy was revealed to them. For many their worst fears were well founded and their loved ones were dead. Local people were already combing the beaches looking for bodies and the devastated families joined in the search. Fragments of the wreckage of the St. John, that included hats, bonnets, dresses, scarves and jackets, were spread across the shoreline. Breakers were still crashing angrily against the rocks and washing over a small section of the ...St. John that still remained afloat. A reporter from the Boston Daily Herald arrived in Cohasset during the day and gave the following brief account of what he witnessed in the wake of the tragedy: One of our reporters visited the scene of the lament-able catastrophe yesterday, and states that the sight was heart-rending in the extreme. The shore, for about a mile in length, was strewed with portions of the wreck. Some of the bodies were shockingly mutilated. The forehead of one the woman [sic] was horribly mangled; the flesh from the right leg of another was torn off from above the knee to the feet; all the others were more or less bruised, with the exception of one young girl, recognised as Sally Sweeny [sic], whose person exhibited no injuries.[1] Henry David Thoreau, an American writer, and his friend Ellery Channing, a poet, arrived in Boston in the aftermath of the tragedy.
