The second struck in the vicinity of No. 1 boiler The behavior of the greater part of the soldiers and members of the crew was splendid. A few of them became excited, hindering the lowering of the boats. In some cases the entire crews were thrown out while boats were being lowered. Other boats were let down hurriedly on met who were swimming around the liner. Many casuatties were occasione. in this way The Tuscania had been warned by another vessel that had spotted th torpedo, and was in the act of turning when the missile struck, an eye witness declared The eye-witness—a passenger on one of the vessels near the transport declared the captain of his ship saw the wake of the torpedo and diverted the course of his own steamer successfully, NOT TIME ENOUGH FOR SHIP TO TURN The Tuscania was signalled: “Torpedo coming! Dodge! The transport started to turn, but was caught broadside, not having had time to swerve into the clear, Most of the passengers on board the other vessels were not aware of what had happened. They spent a merry evening and continued their customary entertainments. Another eye witness stated that the Tuscania sank within forty-eight minutes after she was struck. He said that destroyers and other vessels had surrounded her, pick- | ing up the survivors from the sea and from fiteboats plosions, the latter apparently caused by the bursting of the boiler. He said he saw the Tuscania’s lights, which previously had been darkened, suddenly flash on, that the Tuscania sent up rockets, burned red flares and that her lights then went out. f FIRST OFFICIAL REPORT OF ADMIRALTY.
