Relays of British Warships P Star N York S Aug. 2l of White Cymric asserted upon their and crew the liner arrival here today that the Cymric had been | convoyed for thirty-six hours leaving Liverpool Aug. 11 of British warships, five by rela) in number, and that she was not unaccompanied | until the war zone had been left be- hind. Several passengers said that the periscope of a submarine had been seen, but officers of the Cymric declined to discuss this assertion. The Cymric took practically the same course as the Arabic, which | also flew the White Star flag, on the | latter’s last westward trip which | ended Thursday morning with her destruction by a German submarine off the southern coast of Ireland The Cymric carried 189 passengers of whom 105 were in the steerage. Submarine Warning Displayed. From the time of casting off till the war zone was cleared, the pas- sengers said, the Cymric sailed in momentary readines for a death blow When the steamer left her dock, at 2 o'clock in the afternaon, the high | flag pole recently erected at the mouth of the Mersey where all outgoing vessels could not fail to see it, dis- played the warning that German | submarines were lurking in nearby waters. This warning, the passengers said, was in the form of a big black bail hoisted at the top of the pole. It had been agreed among all ship own- ers at Liverpool, it was said, that the black ball was to be the sign of | danger when the admiralty’s warning of nearby submarines came to port too late to warn all outgoing crafi by messenger or telephone. Provisioned Life Boats. Before the Cymric was out of the Mersey’'s current, her sailors pro- visioned the life-boats, adjusted them | with new ropes and swung them out- | places done in the Liverpool ward. The passengers were as- | sembled and assigned their respective in the boat, that there | might be no confusion in emergency.
