The Vile du Hayre.
More Details of the Disaster.

New York, !. The following additional
facts relative to the loss of the Vile du Havre
was published this morning under date of
Havre:
Capt Surmont and sixty survivors of the
crew arrived here this morning and were
greeted by an immense crowd Of people on
the hart.
As soon as the party landed they proceeded
to the Office of the steamship company where
the captain was closely Intercepted in rela-
ton to the circumstances attending the disas-
ter which had befallen his vessel.
One of the officers said when questioned
that in his judgment the collision was unex-
ampled in the manner of its occurrence. IIe
said further that it would never have hap
pened if the officer of the deck had been Capt
Surmont The only accusations made are
against him and Second Lieutenant Andura nd
who committed suicide. The informant, Who
was in bed, Immediately rushed on deck and
saw that four Of the boats had been disabled
and the masts were already falling over
board.
Some of the sailors state that the lookout
forward gave warning that lights we're mp
preaching through the fog, and the officer in
command, Lieutenant Anduvand, gave orders
based upon such warnings, but his comma nd
was too late. Others of the crew assert that
lie gave no oruers. Ihey ainrm that ne
trusted 10 the chances of being able to pass
clear across the face of the Loeb Earn, and
that the first order was given by Capt. Sur
mont who sprung to the deck just too late,
however, TO be able to avert the catastrophe
The lieutenant took the desperate chance OF
running clear, but had miscalculated, and
seeing the astounding calamity which had
resulted from his error Of judgment, in his
despair, accepted suicide as solution of his
own embarras sment. There is no reasonable
doubt, but tina, he could have saved himself
Five or six of the sailors who were on duty
at the time say they saw the lights of the
Lock Earn five minutes before the steamet
struck.
Colonel Montsgue's daughter was the first
one killed by the falling of the mast.
all the passengers united in prayer during
the few moments of terrible suspense. Gen,
eral admiration is expressed at the courage
of the American ladies, who deported them
selves with great calmness and made no con.
fusion. Seeing their almost inevitable tate
they knelt and prayed. No one thought the
end was coming so quickly as it did.
