 LONDON, Nal 23.-Representatives of the London newspapers have been securing personal stories from the rescued passengers on the steamer Egypt, which was rammed and sunk off Ushant with a loss of over eighty lives, including two American women passengers. In a signed statement given to the Brest correspondent of the Evening News, Joseph Duff, one of the passengers, stated that if it had not been for the panic among the Iascar mem bers of the crew, that all the women on the wrecked vessel would have been saved. According to Duff, the native crew made a wild rush for the boats when the collision oc- cured, and the officers of the ship were unable to enforce discipline or order. The correspondent goes on to say that there is ample evidence that Duff's statements regarding the panic are correct, although the pas sengers and officers of the ship are reticent and reluctant to discuss the affair.
