SYDNEY FERRY TRAGEDY.
o ENQUIRY CONTINUED. t REMAINING PORTION OF VESSEL RAISED. (bt cablz—pbbss associatioh—copthioht.) (AL t STRAI,IAS i.VD S.Z CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received November 21st. 8.25 p.m.) SYDNEY, November 21. At the Greycliffe enquiry, further lengthy evidence and cross-examination of witnesses occupied the day. The evidence was chiefly with reference to the colliding of the vessels, but it added little to that already tendered. One witness declared that'the Tahiti sounded her whistle 20 seconds before she struck the Greycliffe. Another estimated that the Tahiti was travelling two miles an hour faster than the Greycliffe, and that the latter changed her course a minute before the collision, and that just before this he heard the Tahiti sound two short blasts. The remaining portion of the Greycliffe was raised to-day and bcache'd. No more bodies came to light when the wreckage was lifted from tho harbour bottom. Yesterday's reference to the dead totalling 45 includes the missing.
