Lennox, May 25.-(Special)-The
Steamer Paris is still on the rocks and
it is feared cannot be floated.,
FAi.moU'rn. England, Moy 21.-The
American Line SS. ‘Paris.’ Captain Wat-
kins. from southampton and Cnerhourg.
for New York, struck on the outlviug,
ridge of the Mauacles early this morn-
ing. at a point halt a mile from where
the wrecked Atlantic transport liner
°Mehegan’ lies. The ‘Paris,’ which
sailed from Southampton yesterday,
called at Cherhourg. and picked up ‘fifty
passengers. She left Cherbourg ' at six
ifclock last evening. Soon after one
o’clock this morning. at high tide, and
in a dense fog. she ran ashore. From the
first there was no danger. Lift'-boats
and tugs were soon literally swarming
around the vessel to render assistance.
A majority of the passengers; who`nuui-
bered 380, were_brou_gii__t to, Ealniouth,
where they obtained lodgings for the
night. _
The first intimation of the vessel’s
striking the rocks was a slight grating
sound, which was followed by a second
out shouted that there was something
looming up ahead, b_ut before there was
time to reverse the engines, the ship had
gone on the rocks two hundred yards
from the shore. Assistance was sum-
moned by means of rockets, andthe
_coast guards promp ly telephoned to the
A life-saving station for lite-boats.
A majority of the passengers were
not aware that an accident had “bap-
peued until they were called up by the
stewart. On reaching the deck they
found the ship’s boats in perfect readi-
ness for their reception. Tha set i was
perfectly calm, andthe only discomfort
that the passengers experienced was
‘caused by 'tae slight rain that was fall-
ins at the time. Owing to the calm-
lfness of the ses the boats could be man-
aged with entire safety. Perfect order
_prevailed aboard the vessel." Captain
Watkins stood ou- the bridge, giving
orders, and hislcaimuess ff demeanor
had (reassuring effect upon the pas-
sengers. In accordance with the in-
struction ofthe captain, the women and
