Atlantic Transport Liner Lies Hard and Fast
 on Big Jagged Pinnacle
PASSENGERS ALL SAFELY TAKEN OFF
2 were About One-Thrd of the CattIe-Prospects of Saving " uch of the Cargo if Sea Remains Smooth Robert King of Schenectady, Passenger, Describes the Strandng of the Ship.

Hughtown, St. Mary's Scilly Islands April 1S--The Atlantic Transport liner MInneha'l1a, which went aground early this morning off the Scilly Islands. is still fast on the rocks, and there is little likelihood of saving her. All the passengers, numbering sixty-six were taken off in safety, as well as about one-third of the cattle. Should the sea continue smooth, as now seems pruba : bie, the greater part of the cargo will be saved, but a change of wind to the northwest would expose the Minnehaha to heavy seas with hardly a chance of saving either ship or cargo.
 All Baggage Brought Ashore.
 No attempt was made today to get the liner off the rocks She lies on a big jagged pinnacle nearly mile from Bryher Island From the first pros pects of floating the steamer looked hopeless, and at high tide she was still held fast forward of the bridge. The engine room and stokehole and after part of the vessel, however, are still dry. All of the baggage belong ing to the passengers has been brought to St. Mary's.
