LONDON, July 27.
At the "Egypt" inquiry, Mr. Halliday, super- numerary third officer, continuing, testified that after the collision he did not zee the rative headman who transmitted bis orders to the Indian ceamen.
Mr. White, the second engineer said he ordered a large number of natives out of the boats. He ordered them to help with the other boats. One boat, filled with people, which he was helping to launch went down with the chip. He also went down but rose and found an oar to which he hang on ler two hours. One watertight door in the stokehold would never cloze. Bome of the natives would not do duty but two made no attempt to get away but stood on deck and sank with the ship.
Mr. Hamilton, third engineer, testified that his Loatload of twenty-nine natives refused to row near the liner to take off people and backed away.

Another passenger referred to the heroism of a bun, Sister Rhoda, who did much to calm and inspire the passengers and was praying when the ship turned
