An American officer gave an intimation that the submarine was destroyed. This officer was one of the last to leave the Tuscania. He gave a vivid account of the disaster. The second torpedo fired by the submarine missed its mark, the offi- said. Thereupon destroyer which was near the sinking steamship dashed off toward the submarine, using a bomb dropping device. The claim is made that the submarine was “done in” by the bombs thus ex- ploded. The American officer said: “Everything went well with us dur- ing the voyage. Many of our men had never been to sea before, and I must say they stood it like soldiers. “We were one of a powerful con- voy. I must not tell our position in the convoy or how the various ships were formed, but it may be taken that all the other boats have got through so far as I know. As for ourselves, the Huns succeeded in get- ting only a fraction of our fine fel- lows in addition to our boat; but if they have, they have put the iron into our souls and we will be ready to repay them when the chance of- fers Monday was a wild night. Had the disaster occurred during a gale 1 don’t like to think of what would have happened. But Tuesday evening was calm. “The first intimation we had of pos- ! sible danger was an order for all men to go on deck with lifebelts, It was about half-past four o’clock. At the same time we sharply altered our course. At six o'clock, just as the darkness was setting well in, we gnt | the blow. Nobody saw the periscope nor could one have been seen wo!l Some soldiers described having heard a hissing sound immediately before the torpedo struck us in the engine room. “We were instantly disabled the lights went out. An order rans out sending the troops to their bout | stations and to get the lifeboats out | The shock was not severe. It ¥ more of a crunching-in feeling that ! went through the ship than a direct blow. There natu w a good deal of confusion. You cannot lower la score of lifeboats in the darkness | cer a Ail without some conf: | time was there a panic. | “There was great excitement, how- i ever, but it lasted only a few minutes Then all the men pulled themselves together. Megaphone calls were given all over .the ship, saying that there was no danger that the vessel | would sink before all were taken off. In the meantime S O S signals were sent out. - LINCOL BIRTHDAY PROGRAM. A patriotic meeting will be held at the Central Grammar school auditor- ium an Lincoln's birthday.
