for the last week have but little lettering influence
upon such vessels as the st. Paul and the Cam
pania and both steamships arrived at the bar early
Yesterday morning almost abreast, and only a lit
tie behind their schedule time Both boats proved
themselves masters Of storm, but the American

she could cover the rough well as her more
powerful rival.
