portant Testimony by an Amer
lean Passenger.
TELEGRAM TO the NEW YORK HERALD.

LONDON, Jan. 2 1874.
During the investigation into the Vile du Havre
disaster, yesterday, Mr.. Waite, OF New York, who
was passenger on the steamship, deposed that
he was rescued by a French boat The same boat
Afterwards rescued Captain Surmont, who was in
the sea, clinging to some wreckage.
Mr.. Waite further stated that the crew of the
Loeb Earn confounded the pilot OF the Vile du
Havre with Captain Surmont aud 1t was this that
gave rise to the statement that the atters cloth
ing was dry when he came on board the Loeb Earn.
The Court accepted this explanation OF Mr.
Waite and thanked him for having made 1t.
CAPTAIN ROBERTsON's TESTIMONY
Captain Robertson Of the Loeb Earn was exam.
ined to-day.
Nothing new was eytited. The witness denied
that the charges against Captain surmont ema-
mated from him lie declared he was incapable OF
takl1e away such brave mans character.
Mr. Butt on behalf OF the officers Of the Loeb
Earn, argued that the Vile du Havre was 10 blame
but the negligence in the steamer was probably
due to the continuous watch kept the three pre-
Yious togey days
The Court Unanimously decided that Captain
Robertson was blameless. -,
TUE FRENCH WITNESSES.
Application was made for an adjournment OF the
proceedings until the French witnesses could at
tend. but it was subsequently withdrawn.
