GROWING FEARS FOR THE ST. PAUL.
SOME EXPERTS THINK SHE is DOOMED
TUGS AND ENGINES WORK IN VAIN.

Further and further in the graspng sands OF Jer-
sey the steamship ST. Paul is being buried. and as
each succeeding tide and recedcs her condition
hecon,es more precarious The freeing Of the vessel
seemed at first a matter Of hours. according 70
wrreckers and American Line people, then days
were talked Of and the men even speak OF
weeks.
A futile effort was made again yesterday to hoa 4
4ha stranded lirer but strain the tugs would
and pull as the vessels engines might. her position
was not improved Spring tides are now gone by.
and those having the work In charge look hopefully
for eastery winds These would help the ST.. Paul
IN, II they developed into gales then the danger
would be great. The vessel last night lay In a
soiG bed Of sand. She Will have to be pulled almost
nor entire length before she IS free.
The opinion OF experts is that the ship Is doomed
A large sum OF money must be expended il she Is
moved 70 deep water again.
Iife-saving Station No. reported late last night
that another vain attempt made TO pull the
steamship from the grasp OF the sand.
