holes cut into the st. Pauls side have
brought out more than dozen hys-
terlca and injured men.
A large number Of the men escaped
by simply climbing over the rail and
onto the exposed side Of the vessel as
It came uppermost, while others
lenped into the water and were picked
up by the tugs.
One Of the possible causes advanced
for the accident, which was supported
by experienced marine men, was that
