WHAT THE ANCHOR LINE AGENTS HEARD.
Henderson Brothers, the agents of the Anchor
Line of steamships to which the City of Rome be-
longs do not believe that the dispatches regarding
that vessel are correct. They say that If their YES
sci had passed ship at with the crew OF the
State of Florida on board, the captain would nave
rcported the fact Immediately upon the arrival OF
the City of Rome at Liverpool. At noon the agents
of tie Anchor Line received this dispatch:
The CITY OF Rome makes the following statement with
regard the signals OF tu LOG VeSSe WHICH shy el'uAc
on April 3D. "The first signal was. shlpwf .cAe9 crew
Then followed two other signals the first of which was
supposed to be state and presumed to refer To the
Stale of Florida
Mr.. Henderson expressed considerable surprise at
the second dispatch announcing that the CITY OF
Rome lad been signalled on April 23. He was OF
The opinion that such important occurrence as
the receipt of news abo1t shipwreekeG crew
should have been reported as soon as the CIV OF
Rome arrived in Liverpool aud he was sure that II
she had been sgnalled the City of Rome wo!ld not
have proceeded on her voyage without giving as
slStance TO the shipwrecked people
