the medium of the wireless system
word came ashore to the station here
at GAS last night that the American
line steamship St. Louis, for whose
safety there has been some asxiety.
was within twenty-four hours sail OF
Sandy Hook. lust what the trouble Is
on board the liner could not be ascer-
tanned because of the inability of those
ON the South Shoals lightship, forty
miles southeast of here, to read her
signals. but the conclusion reached
was that either her steam power was
low because OF leaky boilers, or she
had broken one of her twin shafts ana
was coming into port under one pro-
peller. At GAO the men on the light
ship caught sight of the st. Louis
miles away. Having seen her pass
and repass many times they were able
to identify her as the craft long over
due at New York. and the wireless
operator on the ship Immediately tel
egraphed the glad tidings to the sta
ton here and a message was sent at
once to the Office OF the American
line in New York. The ligh tship men
sent word to the station here that the
st. Louis was proceeding on her
course for New York at very slow
speed and u!,ess she could increase
it they ia.,gsd from the rate she was
traveilng ina, she could not reach
