SHARP CRITICISM
GREYCLIFFE INQUEST TAHITI'S DEPARTURE SOON AFTER ACCIDENT (United Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 28th January, noon.) SYDNEY, This Day. The Greyeliffe inquest continues. The Coroner adversely criticised the Union Company for allowing the Tahiti to proceed to sea so soon after the collision. Mr. Hughes, local manager, said that tho company was subject to a penalty if tho Tahiti was late in leaving New Zealand with the American mails. The Tahiti was not damaged and nothing further in the way of rescue work could be done. She had two hundred passengers aboard and there was nothing to prevent her proceeding on her voyage. The Coroner said that there were many people on board the Tahiti who might have given material evidence. While the police were busily occupied saving life and recovering bodies, the Tahiti left the harbour without giving the police reasonable chance to interview those who might have proved material witnesses in the interests of justice.
