NEW YORK, Dec. %.
The Tribune tomorrow will publish
n second letter from Randolph A.
Welthaus, .r., who was Il passenger
on the ill-fated steamer Vile du
Havre. 1t is written to his father in
this city. He writes as follows: "In
my last, gave you sketch of my
experience and connection with the
sinking of the Vile du Havre. l will
now give you my opinions concerning
the cause of the accident. From all
| can gather from the officers and
men, conclude the blame lies entire
ly with the officer on watch on the
steamer, whose duty it was to get
out of the LOchern's way; and
it appears that instead of doing this,
he did the very opposite, altering the
course Of the steamer SO as to run
right across the bow of the Lochern-
at least, so says the officer on watch
on the latter boat ut the time of the
collision. In any case it is an ac-
knowledged rule at sea that a steamer
is bound to get out of the way of sail
ing vessels. The night was magnif-
Gently clear and calm, ,and the accident
can only have occurred through some
ineXcusable blunder of those in charge
of the steamer. After the accident if
it can be called SUCH had occurred,
and while the ship was sinking, the
officers and crew behaved in a most
cowardly manner. The latter ! know,
and therefore l believe that they only
looked out for themselves and left the

themselves, the only exception saw
being Mr.. AudmOnt, whom | saw,
three or four minutes before the ship
went down, going below. l told him
he would not have time to get up
again, to which he answered that he
must look after those who were crush
ed in their staterooms. He never
came up again. A subsequent fact is
that not a single passenger was taken
from the sinking ship by the boats, all
being picked up in the water, while at
least twenty of the officers and crew
reached the LOchern without wetting
their shoes. OF captain Surmonts
conduct / know nothing. Those who
saw him spoke well Of him, and don't
think he is directly to blame for the
collision, although he is to blame for
not having his crew under better de-
cipline, and for not having his boats
in condition to be promptly lowered.
In great contrast with the demoraliz-
ed condition of the crew was the eX-
ceeding GOODNESS of the passengers,
even women and children. No scream
ing and running about with our wo-
men. They were in knots praying
quietly, while the men were looking
around for pieces of wood, or were
making efforts to get one of the boats,
which the crew had abandoned, clear
of the ship, so that it might float
before the vessel sank. Language
fails in expressing my admiration of
the gallantry and generosity of officers
and crew of the Lochern and of the
Trimountain. The former saved the
greater part of us from watery grave,
both gave us clothing and did all in
their power to make us comfortable.
The French crew, on the contrary,
