Ss, St. Louis Steaming Along United States Coast Miami, June 5.
The German liner St. Louis, carrying 917 Jews from Europe who were denied admission to Cuba last week, appeared a mile off the shore here yesterday.
The ship was proceeding southeastward at a slow speed with a United States Coast Guard patrol boat watchfully cruising nearby.
After several suicide attempts aboard the liner while it was in Havana harbour, officers of the German ship expressed fears that a wave of suicides might spread through the despondent refugees unless they were permitted to land—
The St. Louis was fully booked for the return trip to Germany from Cuba but was forced to cancel sailing when the Cuban Government refused the Jewish refugees permission to land at Havana.—United Press.
