Received Tuesdav, 7 p.m. LONDON, Dec. 9. Ti will probablv take a yenr to reiloat the Europa which was scheduled to nmke her maiden vovage under the Erench tlag in Alareii, 1047, said the .Minister of Transport (Al. Jules Aloch) The ship is now back on an even keel resting on the bottom of Le Havre harbour. The docks nre about 5o feet above the waterline, but the enginerooms are llooded and extonsively ilamaged. Al. AToch said it was highly improbable that the siukmg was due to sabotage. "Eight mooring cahles sunpped siniult aneously when a tidal wave struek dnring a storm," he said. " It is highly uulikely llmt anyone would be able to sabotage all eiglit cables so that they snapped together. "
