The Big Puritan Was in a
Bad Position.
Wrecker Scott Concluded to
Quit Work Until Today.
The Cargo Has All Been Removed to
StOnington.

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, Nov. 1L.-There
is little change in the situation at Great
Gull island, where the Puritan lies
grounded. At the office of the Il. A.
Scott Wrecking Company, IL was learned
this morning that an attempt was made
TO haul the boat off her rocky bed with
the two big tugs j. A. Wolcott and Il. A..
Scott, Jr., late yesterday afternoon, dur
ing a moderately high tide. After re-
paeted trials, the disa bled steamer moved
a few yards, but in doing so, tipped to
port and the tugs ceased their efforts,
fearing that damage would result IL the
strain were continued while she lay in
the, position she had assumed. Ii is i'm
probable that another attempt will be
made today IA the wind, being northwest.
the tide will be comparatively low. The
cargo mas been all removed from the yes
sci and carried to S~tonington.
The great difficulty lies in the fact
that the Puritan ran aground at high
tide, and II will require a higher tide TO
float her. No one has come from the
wreck today and there il no communi-
cation with the boat. The Chapman and
the Merritt were retained and the com
panies OF New York ave two powerful
tugs alongside, Inc IL the tide is high
enough this afternoon q special effort
will be made TO hsul her of. Captain
Scott and Superintendent Gardner are ex-
pected to return this evening and viii re-
port on the condition OF the vessel.

formers and the greatest princely ald'' in
Christian history.
Rev. Mr.. Bergstrom conducted devo-
tional exercises and there was music by
