the collision between lin- American
liner St. Paul and Hie Drillst) cruiser
oli (he Isle ?d' Wrichi is :.'.S. Divers
Sunday searched tho sunken cruiser
for bodies, hui wer.- not successful
in Duding any.
Tho opinion among shipping men
and naval officers and ollie ?als appears
io be unanimous timi the accident
was unavoidable, being one of the
chances of tim sea which all seamen
must risk.
All witness* of the disaster agree
practically that both crews behaved
as wed as possible.
Coming so soon after tho loss of
the torpedo boat destroyer Tiger,
Which was sunk by the cruiser Her
wick off the Isle of Wright on April
:!, last. 8(5 men being drowned, the
sinking ol' tho Gladiator is a severe
blow lo the liritlsh navy.
The damaged bow of the SI. Paul
indicates thal she forced her nose al
least 20 f?ei through tb? cruiser's
side, but, fortunately the greatest
damage she received w as above tho
waler line The bow post was buckled,
while' the plate's em holli the port and

That .Air. and Mrs. Pinson are living

for ibo load ol' shot entered the hoad
ol' Hie hod, only a few inches above

were found imbedded in the pillows,
on which their heads rested.
Mr. li. M. Pinson lives about a

pretty bad reputation, having lived a
very profligate life, living the greater

Young Pinson's motive is unknown,
but his father, the older Pinson, him
self thinks that the boy, knowing
