CAUSE OF ACCIDENT
 REMAINS UNEXPL AIMED
There Were Several Men Aboard the Vessel When She Turned Over, but All Escaped, but Threc-Many Were Injured by the Mast and Tunnels Striking the Pier.

An Atlantic Port. April 25.--The American line steamship St. Paul, a famous passenger liner, overturned and sank at her pier here today while being warped into a pier preparatory to loading for trip to Europe Three men probably lost their lives ill the accident
 At the time the St. Paul was not under steam, but was being brought lby tugs from a dry dock where for the last week she had been undergo ing repairs.
 On her at the time were several hundred men, q majority of them em- ployes at the dry dock, who had been sent with the vessel to complete work while she was being loaded. The steamer is now lying on her port side with about ten feet of her hull amidships above the water and f. completely submerged both fore and aft. A statement issued by the com pany shortly after the accident oc- cured said three men known to have been on board were missing and that it was feared they had been lost
 Whether it was believed these men were trapped below decks as the ship went over or were drowned by jump ing overheard could not be ascer- tained A general alarm was sounded through the ship when it was seen that she was in danger and as fully ten minutes elapsed before she turned over it is thought most if not all, the men reached the deck.
 A large number of men escaped by| simply climbing over the rail and on the exposed side of the vessel as it came uppermost while others leaped into the water and were picked up by tugs
 Several possible causes for the ac- cideut were advanced, but owing to the uncertainty surrounding it no definite statement was given out and will not be. officials of the line said, until officers of the navy and federal officials and representatives of the company can complete an investiga- tion, which was begun immediately.
 One of the causes advanced which was supported by experienced marine men was that the ship, which was be- ing warped into the pier by lines from the shore and pushing by tugs listed so far that water entered upon coal fhiu in o i'm of the center of gravity.
 Another explanation offered was that the ships sea cocks might have been open, either by accident or de- sign
 Steps to salvage the vessel were promptly begun. Offiials of the com pany said they hoped to complete the work of raising the steamer early next week
 Immediately after the accident heavy guard of soldiers, police and marine forces was thrown around the pier and government tugs took up po- sitions outside the slip. As the vessel went on her side her masts and tunnels struck the adjoin- ing pier, a steel structure and were broken off. Flying pieces of wood hit a number of men and possibly d dozen of them were injured some so badly that it was necessary to convey them to hospitals.
 It is understood also that several men were injured by being crushed between the overturned hull and barges made fast to the pier on the opposite side of the slip. It was also reported that 1t was

canal but the two others got two or three hundred yards inside, where they were successfully sunk across tho en trance
 One difficulty we had in preparing thi3 expedition was that we could not have open practice of what we con- templated doing for fear the enemy might get information of the plan. Our preparation, therefore, was linn. tied to a certain amount of intensive ,tamua al night fighting and bomb ir' willie officers were carefully dn1- ed H. dealing with all cAigencieg likely to occur
 All the mon werc turned mp to 2 high r.t.h and 1t was with very an- xious hearts that we waited for suit able time to strike. knowing that every day we waited there was a greater chance of our secret leaking ont.
 Fifteen minutes after the Viudic uV" arrived alongside the mole our submarine exploded under the viaduct connecting the mole with the main land. The Germans had sent q con , sidyraole force to this viaduct as soon as tle submarine arrived and those nen were gathered on the viaduct ai tacdng our submersible with machine guns. When the explosion occurred the yiadnct and Germans were blown up together
 The prew of the submarine es~ capped on dingy to q motor launch
 Early in the fighting a German shell knocked out our Howitzer which had been getting in some good shots on a German seaplane nest on the mole mile away. This is the largest seeplane station in Belsiun. Unfor- tCnately our other guns could not he broo rht to bear upon it.
 rho shell which disabled the How itzer killed all the members of the gun crew. Many men also were killed by German shell which hit the mole close To our ship and scattered frag- ments of steel and stone among the marines asse'o1Bing on the deck around the gangway '.'' Fo"
 "Tha German fire was very hot ali the time We lay alongside the mold At times the German guns reached as high as forty shots a minute, During the hottest part of the fighting lett, my station in the flame house and went all around the ship to see how things were going The spirit Of the men was excellent All they asked was, Are we winning?'
 "iIalf an hour aftqr the block ships went in we received the signal to withdraw. The Vindlctiye's siren was blown and the men returned from all parts of the mole and thronged down tho gangwuy We put off after hav- ing lain alongside just about an hour The Germaus made no etfore to m tertere with our getaway other than to continue their heavy firing
 The Vindictive was provided with plenty Of defensive equipment Tn case the Germans attempted to board her
 The heaviest casualtles Of the e1- petition appear to have been inflicted upon the personnel of the lrls, many on board being killed by shell which burst on tue bridge. Another shell went clear through the Iris.
 Of those on board this vessel more than third were killed. The funeral services for those who were lost will be held here tomorrow. 4 memorial service for Captain II C. Hallihan who commanded the seaman's storm Ing party was held today
