turned over at her pier here April 25,
1918, while in the service of the
United States as a transport, sails to-
day for Plymouth, Cherbourg, and
Southampton on her first trip since
the accident occurred. The position of
the ship after she turned over,
cramped in between two concrete
piers, made the work of raising her a
difficult task and she was not refloated
until September of that year.
The vessel has been completely re-
stored and she will sail under her
former commander, Capt. Arthur
Mills, with more than 600 passengers.
Among those booking passage on the
st. Paul is DR.. Fusebio Ayala, Para
auavan minister to France.

lean passenger ship to Germany also
takes place today when the liner
Mongolia leaves for Hamburg with $50
first and 1000 third class passengers
