THE ENNISKILLEN DRAGOONS. 
BURNING OF THE EUROPA TRANSPORT. 
Death of Colonel Moouk and Twenty of the 
Regiment. — The following official account has been received at 
the Admiralty : — 
H.M. steam frigate Tribune, at sea, lat. 47.48 N., long 7.43 W. 
June 2, 1854. 
Sir — I have the honour to acquaint you, for the information 
of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, of the total de- 
struction of the Europa, horse transport, by fire, on the morn- 
ing of the 1st June, in lat. 48.1 N. and long. 7.30 W. 
About 7.30 a.m. on that clay smoke was discovered in the 
N.W. from the mast-heads of H.M.S. Tribune, which, upon 
closer inspection, was perceived to arise from a vessel on fire. 
The ship's course was immediately altered, ami all sail made to 
close, and at 9.15. a.m. we had approached sufficiently near to 
make out the vessel in distress to be a large ship burnt down to 
the water’s edge abaft, with the bows only remaining above 
water. At 9.40. a.m. she suddenly went down, and shortly 
after 10 a.m. our boats were hoisted out and lowered, and com- 
menced a minute search amongst the floating spars and wreck, 
which was continued until 5 p.m. without finding any vestiges 
of crew or passengers. The weather was tine, the sun bright, 
and the horizon clear in every direction for many miles, but no 
boat was visible from the mast head before or after the vessel 
went down. The sea was covered with charred timbers, hen- 
coops, floating hay, casks, and iron tanks containing biscuit 
The contents of the latter remained on fire for some hours after 
the ship had disappeared. 
The presence of n cavalry detachment was manifested by pick- 
ing up a trooper’s stirrup, and a pair of fatigue trowsers, in the 
pocket of which was found a purse containing some English 
money, and a receipt addressed to a farrier raojor, a copy of which 
I enclose. The stern of tho ship appeared to have been blown 
oat ; and tho fire must have raged most fiercely in the after part; 
for the mizenmast was burnt to a cinder, whilst the foremnst was 
comparatively uninjured by firo. The masts had gone overboard 
nt some distance from each other, with the yards and sails hoisted 
up and sheeted home ; some small spars lashed to the bend of the 
mizenmast indicated preparations for making a rnft. Finding no 
appearance of any human being, and no relics of the boats, I felt 
disposed to think that the crow had made their escape in them, 
or had found their way on bonrd some other vessel, and 
after having stood for two hours in the direction which it 
was assumed the boats would have steerod, wo fell in with 
ono adrift and abandoned, but quite new and seaworthy, and 
unscathed by firo, containing a few oars and some vegetables. 
As a boat of this description would nover have boon abandoned 
unless tho parties in hor had found refuge in hotter quarters, I 
am of opinion tlmt a portion, if not the whole of the crow and 
passengers of this unfortunate vessel have escaped ; nnd this 
opinion is strengthened by tho fineness of the weather, the smooth 
water, nnd tho number of ships that woro passing in all direc- 
tions during the provious day, both from and towards the scene 
of this melancholy disaster. 
I have the honour to bo, Sir, 
Your most obedient humble servant, 
(Signed) S. T. Cahneoib, Captain. 
H.M. steam frignto Tribune, at sen, lat. 42.20 N., long. 10.55 W. 
June 5th, 1854. 
Sir, — In continuation of my letter of the 2nd instant, reporting 
tho loss of tho Europa transport by fire — 
I hive now the honour to acquaint you that on the morning of 
tho 4th, when about 120 miles north-west from Capo Finistorre, 
we had the ploasuro of receiving from tho British brig Clemantlic, 
Lieutenant Block (Admiralty agent), the master, two of the crew, 
and eight privates of tho 1st Dragoons, in tho Europa, nnd later 
in Iho dny, from tho Prussian schooner Kennel Kingsford, nnd 
the Uritisn barquo Marnnnn, three officers, thirty-five non-c •in- 
missioned officers and privates, ono servant and two women, with 
four officers and twenty-eight seamen, belonging to tho Europa; 
in all eighty-five, of whom seventy-seven are on bonrd this ship, 
nnd eight on bonrd tho Sir liobort Sole transport. 
I regret to Odd, that of tho number originally embarked in 
the Europa twenty-one linvo douhtlessly perished; two ofiloors 
(Lioutenaot-Colonol Moore and Veterinary Surgeon Kelly) aro 
amongst the missing, and six nou-oommissiunod officers, ton pri- 
vates, two of tho ship’s company, and ono woman, have shared 
tho same fate. 
The greater number of these were washed away from the 
wreck of the masts, to which they hacl clung, but Lieutenant 
Colonel Moore remained at his post to the last ; and having 
repeatedly declined to leave the burning vessel until all his men 
had beeii safely removed, was ut last driven into the mizen 
channels by the violence of the flames, and there unfortunately 
perished. 
From the concurrent testimony of those left on the burning 
wreck from 11.30 p.m of the 31st nit., to 2.30 a.m. of the 1st, 
it would appear that the conduct of the master (Mr. Gardner) 
was marked by great coolness and intrepidity throughout these 
trying hours; he was the last man to quit the wreck, and had 
liis zealous endeavours to maintain order and save life l"'en ns 
ably seconded by bis ship’s company, there can be little doubt that 
the list of casualties would have been reduced. 
It is my intention to disemburk tho crew an l possengers at 
Gibraltar, provided the Governor sees no objection. 
Some of the soldiers are suffering from burns nnd bruises, 
but gone beyond tho roach of ordinary medical treatment. 
I enclose lists of those who perished and those who survived 
the destruction of the Europa. 
I have the honour to be, Sir, 
Your most obedient humble servant,

RACING. 
“On the green, green turf." 
Mu Editor. — The weather unfortunately threw a wet 
blanket over the capital sport on Ascot Heath. But there 
was ample cause of enjoyment to the true turfite, the amateur 
or mere spectator. The past meeting has been conspicuous for 
the “ Great reveuge ’’ John Scott took for his Epsom defeats. 
The Royal Hunt Cup, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth 
Triennals, Wokingham Stakes, and Ascot Gold Cup, 
with a brace of little matters by way of side dishes. 
Such victories ought to satisfy any man; but, had there 
been as many more, the great trainer of Whitewall, no 
doubt had “stomach for them all," speaking of stomachs re- 
minds me, too, of the esurient, little son of Epirus out of tho 
Trapper, who, without having made a public appearancet 
is raised by the strength of the conquering nothern stable, a' 
the short price of 12 to 1, to the position of first nnd distinct 
favonrite for next year’s Derby. But. with what a name ye Gods ! 
Grccculus Esuriens ! This appelation must have been bestowed 
on him wantonly and cruelly to puzzle tho outriders of 
the ring. Not one in a score will be able to pronounce it, nnd 
scarcely a brace in a hundred to consign it to the recesses of 
their betting-books with anything like its due orthography. 
It was delicious to hear the speculations as to the source and 
meaning of this mystic name. Many decided it to be French , 
and one respectable individual who can muke a good bonk (on 
n race, be it understood,) asserted that the colt was so denomi- 
nated as a compliment to a fair lady ’whom his owner had met on 
the Continent. Only fancy, Mdle. Gnecnhis Esuriens ! Another 
worthy boldly making the attempt to give utterance to his wish, 
ottered the odds against Gracious, Eavens! and, at something 
near that the appellation is likely to remain. Should it be the 
lucky destiny of the colt to carry off the Derby of ’55, what a 
contrast will Graculus Esuriens offer to tho Sams, Suilors, and 
Spaniels of former years! Really, if owners of race horses 
will run on at this tremendously learned rate they must 
provide a schoolmaster for the ring. Brocket proved 
that he lmd not beeu kept so long in clover for nothing, 
lie has accomplished a good thing at lost. But trainer, 
stable party, and noble owner, must congratulate themselves 
that West Australian pulled through for the Cup. Say what 
they will, it was a squeak — far too near to he pleasant ; and 
much of the success was due to Alfred Day’s riding. It 
is generally understood that the renowned Australian is 
about to quit the race course, though lie may shew 
for the 300 sovs sweepstakes at Goodwood, where there 
is nothing with a chance against him, and he is now 
safe to retire into private life without a blot upon his ’suteheon. 
How Kingston and Rataplan ought to envy Ins luxurious ease, 
whore none but cattle of tho highest class will be surt’ered 
to invade his privacy ! How many a hard fought mile may 
not his antagonists 'have to run before so desirable a prospect 
open to them ! Kingston was as game as ever, nnd ought 
to have succeeded in one or other of his races. Much of 
the steel must have been taken out of Rataplan, for 
within the month, ho has been running in Scotland, 
at Bath, Epsom, Manchester, thence to Ascot, but notwith- 
standing his hard work, I will hazard the opinion, that some- 
thing more might have boon made of him this week,
