Chored off the navy-yard and by the

THE PARIS CAN Be SAVED.
Indications that the Big Liner
Can be Gotten Off Safe.
PASSENGERS GO HOME.
Officers of the Boat Still Refuse to
Explain How the Accident
Happened.

Falmouth, England, May 9Th"
| most of the passengers of the American
| liner Paris, which ran on the rocks OFF
Lowlands Point. near Coverack, Corn
wall, early on Sunday morning. while on
her way to New York from Southamp
ton, left here on two special trains this
morning. Some of them will so on board
| the North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse, which is scheduled
to touch at southampton today. but the
majority of them will take passage on
board the American line steamer St.
Paul. which is to sail for New York from
Southampton on Saturday next.
The travellers were intensely grateful
to the Cornish folk for the unsuintcd hos
pltality of the latter, and as the trains
moved ont of the station the passengers
Justify cheered those who had assembled
on the platform to wish them God-spenG.
1he weather continues favorable to
the stranded ship. \ light wind is blow
ing and there is no serious amount Of
| wash. Soundings which have been taken
show the Paris to be resting more favor
ably. owing to the fact that she has
been considerably lightencd.
She is not straining ut all and there is
perceptlhlc movement of the ship rs
the swcls roll beneath her, showing
there is Il clear passage, free from the
rocks. Should the steamer show signs
of sinking when taken i'll tow. it is pro-
posed TO run her on a fiat, sandy beach
adjoining the place where she stranded.
\ high official of the American line
says the prospects of saving the Paris
are more hopeful than ever and there is
little doubt that she will be successfully
towed off. Powerful tugs belonging to
the Liverpool Salvage association are eN-
peCtcd to arrive at the scene of the wreck
this evening and the divers believe the
additional pumps Will clear the first four
holds. The fifth is so badly pierced that
no amount of pumping will clear it. The
remaining SIX holds are secure.
1t is added that the steamer being
evenly balanced, will come off the rocks
without sustaining further damage.
The officers of the Paris still refuse to
furnish any explanation of her getting
out of her course. An official of the board
of trade boarded her for the purpose Of
obtaining some information on the sub
ject, but her officers refused to answer
any questions, on the ground that the
British board of trade has no jurisdiction
in the matter and that the inquiry into
the disaster must take place i'll the Unit
ed States, as the Paris is under the
American flag.
