And, with it came to light a story of wom- en's bravery and defiance thet stirred Queenstown to ite depths, When the | brought the survivors into this port, there was a deflant sound of voices from hi deck, Observera made out dishevelled women, snatched from death in the cold waters of the sea, standing forward on the little boat's deck and leadi in the singing of “Rule Brit nha The women were huddled together and, like the men who were wearing Llifebelts inflated strapped across their shoulders, | Every soul on board sang the song, hysterical voices raised saved, and their in deflantly strident tones. First ashore was a tall stewardess, cuddling close to her breast a baby that was almost lost in the volumin- ous wrappings of the woman's life- belt. Tho pitiful company straggled across the gangplank and were met with eager sympathy. They were hur- ried to a fleet of waiting automo- biles and carried to the Queens Hotel, ‘There magnums of champagne and bowls of steaming soup awaited them, A big staff of Red Cross nurses and surgeons looked them over and hur- ried the survivors off to bed. Their sufferings had been intense. The night air was biting cold, They were adrift from before midnight un- tll Just before dawn.

Hoe eaid that the first torpedo struck the liner aft on the starboard side and every one made for the Life preservers. The passengers had previously been instructed In boat drill and got into the boats without panic. Dr. Hawke said that all be- haved well and that the discipline was truly good. “The submarine returned,” sald Dr, Hawke, “after wo had been in the boats and fired another torpedo which put out the lights, and was followed by a terrific explosion, and the ship must have sunk soon after, The sec- ond torpedo, mind you, was fired, although the lifeboats were close to the vessel and the crew of the sub- marine could not have failed to see us, a8 it was moonlight, It was about 9.30 P, M, on Sunday when we took to the boats and about 8 o'clock on the following morning when we were picked up." Dr, Hawke gave the highest praise to the behavior of the women and children and added that the captain and crow were marvellous, It appears that two boats reached Bantry with 22 people, 8 of the occupants having died from exposure, Among those suved Was the singer, Miss Miteie Siklosi of Paris, soca SRE CONSUL FROST REPORTS DEATHS 10 LANSING Also Gives L ist st of th the Negro Fire- men Who Are Said to Have Been Rescued. alm WASHINGTON, Feb, 27,—'Tho| State Department to-day recetved a Jcable from Consul Frost at Queens- | town, confirming offictally tn almost | every dotall press despatches regard- | ing the unwarned torpedolng of the great Cunarder Laconta, Frost's cable, under Queenstown | date, 8.30 A, M, to-day, reads; | “Deaths of Mrs, and Miss Hoy, as reported, are positively confirmed, | “Am the Americans saved are the following Negro fireman and Seaman Douglas Adama, Newport News; Benjamin Parker, No, 38 West Sixty-ninth St , New York; Louls Darnell, No, &¢ y Street, Baltt more; Perey Masseburg, No, 10 South Nineteenth Street, Newport News} Edward Sr hn, No, uth Man- chester Street, New York; Henry Young, No, 180 Park Road, New Y k; Barney Khetter, No, 264 West vit Wynne or Win No, 808 North Bethel ‘ rescuing patrol steamer | THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1917.
