"Tho passengers, a largo number
of whom woro seriously injured by
the explosion of tho torpedoes and

all at luncheon. The weather was
beautifully clear and calm. Wo
were going at about 16 knots nnd
were seven or eight miles south of
Galley Head when wo were struck by
one torpedo and In a minute or two
after by two more.
"The first explosion staggered us
and tho others finished us, shatter
ing the gigantic ship. Tho Lust
tanla disappeared In SO minutes af
ter tho first torpedo struck.
"The passengers -were surprising
ly cool. Nearly all tho first class
paawngera were drowned. Most of
those saved wcro second and third
class passengers.
"Wc did not get a moment's not
tlcc from tho submarine. It ap
peared suddenly above the surfaco
on our starboard bow and discharged
a torpedo at us. The aubmarlno
disappeared as suddenly as It camo
Into view. Wo saw tho track tho
torpedo made In the water and wo
got It fairly amidships. Tho Lusi
tania listed forward and started to
settle. Then tho submerged sub
marine discharged to moro torpe
does which also struck us and our
ship sank In 20 minutes.
"After the submarine dived It was
not seen again. It went off after ac
complishing Its work and did not at
tempt to savo men, women and chil
dren, but left them to drown llko
rats In a trap.
"Tho scene was frightful as tho
ship went down. A great many per
sons were carried down at onco "by
the suction of tho big vesrcl. About
100 persons Jumped overboard and
clung to floating wreckage or up
turned boats which were blown oft
tho ship by the explosion."

If you fuiiathire with crooked police work unit I ho ruin of innocent
