were used to keep the boat off shore and prevent her from working further in the Band The boat was fully lighted, and from snot?? the neo pie on her decks appeared extremely active. The hawsers were wound around the powerful capstan and the steam turned on. Ropes, haw? ser? and capstan creaked, and the huge vessel WM slowly pulled northward, but her position was worse than ever, and when the tide began to ebb the St. Paul waa more InahOTe than be? fore. Despite nil efforts the ship continued to drift shoreward. WIND FROM THK NORTH. The wind last night was from the northward, and ther- was little of It. Should the wind shift nround to the eastward it will be hard on the stranded vessai, and a northeasterly >;aie, which ia pnsaiblo nt this time of the year. w.?uld prove fatal to the s;. Paul. When The Tribun- reporter left the ship the gag was perfectly calm, and there was 10 wind to Speak of. It was positively stated that the St. Paul was not taking in a drop of water. William Cramp, of the firm that built the St. Pani, went aboard th? steamship and met the officers of the ship r.nd the wrecking companies. The officials of the American Line and the :-hlef offlc-rs eosltlvely declined to talk ,.f the mishup. The general opinion Is that the two Atlanti,? greyhounda wen? making a burst of rpeed to see which would ?re the St. Paul strili k the ground, th? ('anu?anla, the quartermaster said, crossed the bows of the St. Paul. The Campania was headed ? little west of south, and was going fSater than the St. Paul. . . , The quartermaster said no pilot had been taken on board and no pilot boat had Been sighted. He was certain th?? Campania was In the sand, and from her blowing.-? th tight ahe was hard and fast for at least ten minutes. When the St. T'aul struck and failed to back off, the noise on board of her ceased and for ten minutes at least the Campania could be heard Mowing. TAKING OFF THK CARGO. All day yesterday lighters were alongside the St. Paul, taking off the cargo. Her consignment of gold has not yet been removed, and It is strictly guarded by a so.ua d of picked men. A revenue cutter, wlthji number of Inspectora, is near the unfortunate vessel." The St. Paul yestt.rdav lay alm>?t due north und south, and was gradually creeping ashore. Those Inter? sud say sh. will get off "at the next high tide." but old surfmen, who recall the experiences of L'Am?rique, the Irrawaddy and the Manitoba, all vessels of much lighter draught, ?hak- th-ir heads at thls>. The big liner is undoubtedly In a bad way a p ?I the opin loiv waa freely expressed by those who profesa to know that she will stay in her presti.; bed for several weeks. The work of getting the vessel off the sand Is being don,? by the Meniti and Chapman Wreck? ing companies, which are Working together. Captain Merrltt. of the Merrltt Wrecking Com? pany, and Superintendent Tucker, of the Chap? man Company, stay..! on the St. G.??! last night. <>ne of the wrackers said last night that the <*hief trouble Is amidships, as the steamship la lying" on * ledge of sand which strikes her fairly amidships. A concerted effort will be made at high tide this morning to pull the St. Paul out of her -radie, and if that prove? onauccesaful then the ?Teraeyitea will have dally excitement for weeks to come. Fifty longshoremen from this city were put to work on the St. Paul yesterday. They are to sleep in the steerage. Th-y will have then force increased \. day If the sea Is calm to? day it is hoped >h?t at bast four lighters will be able to go alongside. The load of the Bl Paul is ..f a very mixed character, bol m,st ,,f It can be easily handled. Including off ei ere??* *? BE THE ??.? ???? SICH ? FEAT "HAS HKi:\? AOrOMPUSHBD. Those who went to Long Hrani h yesterday to look at the St. Paul, stranded off the shore, saw a strange thing accornpl.sh-d. A long-distance tele? phone was put on the steamer, and thus- on board were ?oon In communication with people in this and other cities. The work of stringing the wire was In charge of W. I> Martin, the manager of the New-York and New-Jersey Telephon.?1 Company at fxirg liranch A connection wea-made-with the central at Lung Hrrinch, and rhen Mtrt'.n's s,juad carrle?! the wire to a position In front of the f?rand View Hotel Here a pole was set up and the wire was made fast. Then Martin and hrs men secured a surf boat and mad- for the Bt Paul. As the l>oet went seaward the wire was played out, and when the steamship was reached the wire was made taut, hanging directly from the pole on Ihe bluff to the steamship. A regulation Instrument was carried aboard the St. Paul, and In less than an hour after leaving shore, Martin and bis men bad,the stranden ship connected with the civilised world. This is the first Instane?? in the hlstoty of telephone eommunica'i.m that a wire has ever been placed aboard a shipwrecked vessel. "Fred" Rsllly is in chatte of the phone on the ship. The telephone wire Is striteli??.] from th.? poli on the bulkhead In front of the Qrand View Ilote! to the crossi tees of the foremast. The wire used is the paired safety cable. It was originally Intended to get a submarine cable aboard the St. Paul, hut It was found that this could not be successfully done on account of the strong northerly current. It was feared thai It would break the armor of the catib- and thus render the service useless. Mr. Martin made a survey of the vessel and the ground to be covered, and he deckled "n the method use! Plenty, of .?Jack wire wa.- used, so that the shifting of the vesser? position would not affect the telepiione connection. A TALK WITH YJBRNON H. BROWN.

Mr. Urown said that as far as he ?jb'uM tell the St. Paul was lying easy, and he could see no reason why the wrecking company should not be able to Ret her off without serious injury. "As retards racing," Rald Mr. Hrown, "I have only to reiterate the statement I made in yes? terday'? papers. There was no raclas;, If a man Urivin* a fast haras comes up behind a man driving a slower animal, what is he to do?Stop and walk" That was Just our position. The St l'aul had practically an eleven hours' start of the Campania Captain Walker tells me that he sighted the St. Paul on Friday morning between ? So and h o'clock, the Campania being u: that time llfteen or sixteen miles astern. The Campania did not come up with her until e o'clock at night. It then began to grow foggy, and the Campania's engines aere slowed down. The Campanif's officers saw no more of the St. Paul until midnight, when the fojj lifted some? what, and the American Liner was seen forging ahead. At 1 o'clock it grew so foggy that Captain Walker stopped the Campania's engines entirely, and she was hove to. as it was found that she was In only ten fathoms of water. At 5:*>, as the fog showed no signs of lifting, an anchor was sent down. At 3:80 In the morning, however, the fog began to rise and the St Paul was seen aground about two miles away. The Campania's anchor was then raised and she came on Into port. "it is all wrong to suppose that the Canarder ran aground. She did not run aground, and was at no time In dam:?, of doing so." Mr. Brown added that there would be no profit In seeing ''apt-iln Walker, since he had forbidden him to talk to rejiorters al?out the mattet. LA BOCROOONK SAW NOTHING OF THK 1IOATS.
