President Griscom remained on board yesterday, and was visited by some repre sentatives ot Insurance companies and un derwriters, who wore interested in tho safety ot the ship. Tvyo of those gentle men, who refused to gtvo their names, or the companies to whioh they belonged, told tho reporters that they bolievcd the accident was duo to tho mistake of tho man who was making tho soundings with tho lead, having mistaken tlio mark for seven fathoms and announcing ltas seven teen fathoms. It Is safo to say that thoro Is scarcely a person who resldos within twenty miles of this pluco who hns not como to see tho big ocean racer lying in her helpless stato within a stono's throw of tho Grand VioW hotel veranda.

Tho press representatives wero not al lowed to board tho St. Paul, but ono of their number managed to eludo thu watch ful officers at tho gangway and succeeded in making his way to tho captain's cabin.

Thu Chapman and Morritt peoplo who aro In chnrgo 'of tho bringing off of tho ship aro sanguine of success, and I am confident that sho will move off vory soon, perhaps after ncouplo t t,ina President Grlsconr sent word to tho re porters that Captain Jamison hod mado a statemont ns to how tho accident occurred and ho (Mr. Griscom) oxpected that It would thoroughly viudlcato tho St. Paul's commander. A report is current that tho St. Paul nnd tho Cunardor Cnmpaula had been raciug,nnd tho latter nearly went aground, but wn3 warned off. IJorden A.

Ho said there wns llttlo or no fog at tho tlmo, and after tho Cunnrdor, which was head on hail backed off, with tho aid ot hor pro pellers, 6ho anchored outside until o'clook. 0 When asked If it was pqsltlvo that thero could bo a fog at Kast Long IJrancli suf ficient to conf uso tlio St. Paul's captain and no fog two miles to southward Jeffrey replied that ho could not say, but he was steadfast In his assertion that thero was no fog oft Elberon, andthnttho Campania bad run aground there.
