THE VILLE DU HAVRE was tho largest ship that ever came into this port oxcapt tho Groat Eastorn. She was iron, | Iind & tonnago ‘of 6,000, and was mado up in wator-tight compartments. Bhe was, of courss, in thoroughly good ordor, and ‘was admirably offtcered. THE BUPERINTENDENT'S THEORY ot tho disaater is thisy *‘Tho Loch rne struck hor dircctly amidships, without wavoing on oither sido, during the heavy fog that provailed. Tho fog was so denko that thoy could not eeo their hands befors their facos. My exporience, in & lifo-timo passed in practical connaction with stoamors, i8 that sho would natarally boar around aftor th first shook a1.d run alongaido the Villo du Hayre.

I take it for gronted, in absonco of positivo information on tho subJoct howover, that_tho ship and stoamor ran nlongside of each other for a considorable tima aftor the dlssstor ocourred, The wator- mfi'ht compartments must have been opon, but it tokes a loug timo for wator enough to flow into thom to sink such n vossel aa tho Havya,. POUSIDLE ESOAPE OF MISSING PASSENGLRS, *'Now, in that time, Ido notsce why n great many passeugers did not ezcape from hobvillu du Lavrae to tho Loch Erne, of which we may so far have homd nothing. Tho riggil:g of "tho Loch Erne would bo about on a lovel with the dook of tho Ville du Lavro, and passongors could huye rapidly transforvod themsoiven. by rattlins 1o thodook of the uhir.
