Show EASTERN. TI10 "Elloi,.', New York, 1.1. The uteamcr Orerex brought thirty-seven cabin and 182 steerage passengers, and 100 of tho crew and tho mails of tho wrecked Europe. Tho account given by the ofhceiaof tho Greerc of meeting the Europe are substantially tho samo as that of tho salvage crow brought to Liverpool by the E-apt, but thero is a marked discrepancy in their statements state-ments and those of the Europe's officers offi-cers as to tho condition of the latter, ami tlic circumstances aitenuing ine rescue. The captain of the Urccec says tho Europe had but seven feet of water in the middle compartment when she was fir0t ho, nihil; that it only increased one foot during the night, and that tho vessel might havo been saved. Caplnin Lcmaire, of tho Eitn-pr-, complains that he was t reded infamously by the oOicers of tho U recce; that they wouldn't allow him to return to the Europe after he came aboard the Greece; that they mado no effort to save tho baggage or cargo, though it could have been done, notwithstanding notwithstand-ing tho terrible sea. One of the passengers pas-sengers on the Europe says perfect order and discipline prevailed on the Europe, and the passengers wore unaware un-aware of the danger until the OVr-re was signalled tu take them oil. Another An-other passenger accuses tho French officers of cowardice, and says they refused to allow them tn save the baggage. The transfer of passengers was effected without accident or 1o,-js of life. |
