Investigation has failed to reveal that the steamer was given warning of the proposed attack by the submarine which appears to have been lurking off the Irish coast bent upon destroying the largest and fastest ship engaged in transatlantic traffic. The loss of life caused by the torpedoes themselves and the explosions they caused, must have been terribly heavy. Many of those taken removed to Cork and Queenstown hospitals.

The naval officials here say that there is now practically no chance of any additional persons being saved. The boats that were sent to the scene of the tragedy raked the sea for miles around. Passengers on the Lookout for Submarines As the Giant Cunarder Neared Queenstown: QUEENSTOWN, May 8.—A sharp lookout for submarines was kept aboard the Lusitania as she approached the Irish coast, according to Ernest! Cowper, a Toronto newspaper man, who was among the survivors landed here. He declared that after the ship was torpedoed there was no panic among the crew. “As we neared the coast of Ireland,” said Mr. Cowper, “we all joined in the lookout, for a possible attack by a submarine was the sole topic of conver- sation. | was chatting with a friend at the rail about 2 o'clock when suddenly | caught a glimpse of the conning tower of a submarine about a thousand yards distant and called my friend's attention to it. “Immediately we saw the track of a torpedo followed almost instantly by an explosion. Portions of splintered hull were sent flying into the air and) then another torpedo struck. The ship began to! list to starboard. “The crew at once proceeded to get the passen- gers into boats in an orderly, prompt and efficient manner. Miss Helen Smith appealed to me to save her. 1 placed her in a boat and saw her safely away. I got into one of the last boats to leave. “Some of the boats could not be launched, as the vessel was sinking. There was a large number of women and children in the second cabin. Forty of the children were less than a year old.” _ CORK, May 8.—A coastguard who witnessed the sinking of the Lusitania believes she sank within eight minutes. His story is confirmed by a Cork farmer, who was working near Old Head Kinsale when he heard “shots” and looking seaward saw a steamer with her t bows in in the air. He said) MOTHERS CLASPING BABIES FOUND DEAD IN THE WATER (Continued From Firat Page.) about two hours in our small boat before the first rescue steamers arrived, Previous to this time some small shore boats and fishing smacks came along and helped us.” The Rev. H, W. Simpson, « passenger in the second cabin, saved himeelf by clinging to an upturned boat “After a struggle we filled this boat with all we could rescue,” Dr. Simpson said, “We tied a pair of trousers to an oar and hoisted it as @ signal of distress, A big trawler came along and took us aboard “When we were struck | was in the saloon, Lifebelts were handed around, but the people did not want to put them on, and they rushed off to the deck just as they were.” Helen Smith, only seven years old, was brought ashore in one of the lifeboats. She seems unable to comprehend the tragedy, although her father, mother and brother went down with the Lusitania and were lost The child chatted gayly about submarines declaring that she had often geen them in the moving pictures. The child ts being cared for until rela- tives can be communicated with. ‘The direct charge that many of the passengers of the Lusitania were persuaded to get out of the lifeboats and return to the liner by stewards who ran to the vessel's side crying that ehe was all right and would not sink was made by R. J, Timmis, a Gainesville, Tex,, cotton buyer, here this afternoon. “1 was dining on deck when the Tusttania was struck, I rushed to my cabin for my Iifebvelt.

The trawler Daniel O'Connell while fishing came upon two of the Lusitania’s boats containing| sixty-five passengers, mostly women and children, | in a deplorable plight. The trawler took the boats in tow and was proceeding with them to Kinsale when intercepted by Government tugs which took the survivors to Queenstown. DUBLIN, May 8.—Many of the Lusitania’s survivors who landed at Queenstown were only partly clad, but most of the men, women and chil- bee helped ashore by local bluejackets wore life its. “1 was talking with Mr. Winters of the Cunard Line when the ship was hit,’’ said Charles C. Harn- wick of New York, who has crossed the Atlantic sixty-one times. ‘Winters got into Boat No. 17, which overturned and then swam to Boat No. 19. Most of the saloon passengers were at luncheon and the number saved was small. “Mrs. M. M. Pappadopoulo, who was on her way to Athens with her husband, swam for a long distance toward shore before she was picked up. She believes her husband was drowned.” Julian de Ayal Cuban Consul-General at Liverpool, although one of his legs was badly in- jured, swam for a long time and came ashore wear- ing only his underclothing. He climbed into three different boats but apparently the first two over turned, Bertram Jenkins, of New York, helped two women into a boat, which overturned as it reached the water, but later he saw one of the women, Miss Brandell, an opera singer, at Queenstown. ‘She's all right! She {sn't going to wink! Get out of the boats!’ the people complied and returned to the decks, Before they could get back in the boats the Lusitanta was awash. 1 was submerged when she plunged under, but am a good swimmer and was able to keep afloat. “I swam for two hours finally drifting near my friend James Baker from London, who shared a plank with me on which he was floating, We were finally taken on board of a damaged canvass lifeboat which was in a sinking condition, We managed to keep it afloat for an hour when wo were picked up by the trawler Indian Empire. It had eight others on board, among them the woman to whom I gave my life- belt.” LONDON BROKERS DRIVE |LINER NEW YORK SAFE; QUT ALL GERMANS| HAS NOT BEEN TORPEDDED Many of American Line Ofticials at a Loss to Account for Alarmist Rumors, British Naturalization Papers Fail to Save Them From Expulsion, LONDON, May 8 (2.40 P, M).-The feeling of resentment against Ger- many over the torpedoing of the Lusl- tanta was so strong on the Stock Exchange this morning that the Brit ish members united and turned all their fellow members of German ori- kin and also all German clerks, bodily out of the house.
