Eastern DISPATCHES.

mates of the wrecked steamship Europa.
The account given by the officers Of the
Greece of meeting the Europa, are sub
stantially the same as that of the salvage
crew brought 10 Liverpool by the Egypt,
but there is marked discrepancy in
their statements and those of the Eu-
ropa's officers as to the condition of the
ship and the circumstances attending the
rescue. The captain Of the Greece says
the Europa had but seven feet Of water
in her middle compartment when she
was first boarded; that it only increased
one foot during the night, and that the
vessel might have been saved.
Captain Lemaire, of the Europa, COM
plains that he was treated UNANIMOUSLY by
the officers OF the Greece; that they
would not allow him to return to the
Europa after he came aboard the Greece;
that they made no effort to save the bag
gage or cargo, though it could have been
done, notwithstanding the terrible sea.
One OF the passengers on the Europa
says perfect order and discipline pre-
vailed on the Europa, and the passengers
were unaware OF the danger until the
Greece was signaled to take them off.
Another passenger accuses the French
officers OF cowardice, and says they re-
fused to allow them to save the baggage.
The transfer of the passengers was ef-
fected without accident or loss of life.
