fowls become addicted they are apt to

The San Francisco call., 1896-08-10

tied San Francisco on his way home from
his journey around the world, the St.
Paul was placed at his disposal for a jour
ney to Portland, Or. She was fitted up
especially for the occasion, and, accom-
panied by Senator John F.. Miller, who
vas president of the Alaska Company, the
general and Mrs. Grant, together with
Colonel Fred and Ulysses Grant Jr., made
the voyage IN a very enjoyahle manner.
At the expiration of the fur seal privi-
ieges granted to the Alaska Company the
st. Paul went otst of commission and was
laid up in Oakland Greek. On the organi-
zation of the North American Navigation
Company the st. Paul was chartered and
made the pioneer voyage between this
port and Panama. On the collapse of that
organization the vessel was purchased by
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, and
after beinc overhauled and reftted, q pro-
cess which detracted greatly from her ap-
perance to the nautical eye,s she was placed
in service between San Francisco and Re-
dondo, touching at way ports.
Captain Downing, the commander of the
st. Paul, is resident of Oakland and has
been engaged IN service on this coast for q
number of years. He was formerly first
officer of the Willamette Valley and was
promoted to the command of the Bonita.
From the latter vessel he was transferred
TO the st. Paul, much larger and finer
vessel.
Captain Freeman. the well-known pilot,
returned from the scene of the wreck last
evening. He reported that the st. Paul
was lying easily and apparently making
no water. He gave it as his opinion that
if the cargo is lightered they viii be able
to get the vessel of.

Out of all these vague and half whis-

George Norton, one of the crew, is in

on the Colima when she went down on
the Mexican coast and is no novice in
shipwrecks.

knots an hour he said, when we struck.

The St. Paul is an iron steamship, built
at Philadelphia in 1875 for the Alaska
Commercial Company. She is of $50 tons
burthen. 1917 feet long. and her breadth of
beam is 81 feet. Martin Bulger of this
City superintended her construction.
After her arrival on this coast she was put
in the trade between San Francisco and
the Alaskan ports. She made one or two
trips to Panama loaded with furs, VIII ich

got out on the decK and saw that the
vessel was enveloped in heavy fog and
1t was impossible to tell where we were, as
there was no light from shore that was
visible.
The steamer thumped several times and
then settled, careening so much to port
that man could not walk the deck with
out being very careful.
The other passengers came on deck and
there was considerable excitement, but
very little confusion. The women, with
the exception of two or three who tainted,
behaved remarkably well. The master of
the vessel and the other officers acted with
great coolness and did all they could to
quiet the passengers, and gave orders to
secure life-preservers and put them on.
There were plenty of these, and soon
everyone had one or two on his or her
body. In the meantime We could hear
the breakers rolling on the shore and
could hear the water rushing into the
hold of the steamer.
"The master as soon as possible gave
orders to lower the boats, five in number,

could be placed in, each were taken in.
