Underwater Boat Misses Orduna
By Only Few Feel.
VESSEL IS SHflIfD BY GERMAN CRAFT
Cunarder Has q Americans Aboard
On Hazardous Trip, Who Give
Details on Reaching Port.

New York - The Cunard liner Or
duna, bound from Liverpool to New
York with 227 passengers, including
% Americans, was attacked without
warning, it was learned on her arrival
here Sunday, by German submarine
on the morning of July 8.
Twenty miles from the grave of the
Lusitania, off Oldhead of Kinsale, the
Orduna escaped the Lusitania's fate by
half second of time or 10 feet Of
space, the German torpedo churning
the water that distance behind the
liners rudder. Then the Orduna sped
away. She was followed by the sub
marine, which rose to the surface,
manned gun on her deck and shelled
the fleeing steamer.
The attack was at 10 minutes to 6
o'clock in the morning, when all but
few of her passengers lay sleeping in
their berths. Aroused by stewards,
the passengers dressed hurriedly and
went to the upper deck. where they
put on life belts and took their places
at the lifeboats. They heard the
oSACc Va tiiS cuCklb nllu bdW tuc OCcdH
spit up columns of water where the
shells struck.
When the. fire grew hot, they were
ordered, for their own protection, to
the next deck below.
For half an hour the Orduna showed
her heels to the assailant. Through
marine glasses the passengers watched
the dark splotch on the waters surface
astern. They saw the low-lying Ger
man warship coming on with bone in
her teeth, but the Orduna's flight was
faster than the pursuit and after seven
shots had been fired without effect, the
submarine gave up the chase.
A wireless call for help was sent out
by the Orduna when the torpedo was
seen. She was then 81 miles south of
Queenstown. The reply, Captain Tay-
lor says in his official report, was that
help would be given within an hour.
It was four hours before the first Brit
ish vessel, an armored yacht, the
Jeanette, appeared.
Protest will be made to the Ameri-
can government by at least one citizen
Of the United States and possibly
others who were aboard

SUBMARINE FORCES AMERICAN SHIP
TO ACT AS SCREEN FROM VICTIM

Liverpool--How an American shiI
is alleged TO have been used as shield
by German submarine for the sink.
ing Of another vessel is the story re-
lated by members of the crew Of the
American bark Normandy, which has
arrived here from Gulfport, Miss.
The story Is that the Normandy was
stopped by German submarine go
miles southwest Of Tuskar Rock, Oft
the southeast coast Of Ireland, Friday
night. The captain was called aboard
the submarine. where his papers were
examined and found to show that the
ship was chartered by an American
firm January s.
The captain Of the bark, II was as
serted, was allowed to return to the
Normandy, but under the threat that
his ship would be destroyed unless he
stood by and obeyed orders. These
orders, II was said, were that he was
to act as shield for the submarine,
which lay at the side of the bark hid
ing itself from an approaching vessel.
This vessel proved to be the Russian
steamer Leo. Presently the submarine
submerged and proceeded around the
bow Of the Normandy, 80 the story
went, and 10 minutes later the crew Of
the Normandy saw the Leo blown up.
Twenty-Five persons were on board,
OF whom II were drowned, including
three stewardesses.
Thse saved included three Americans
Walter Emery, of North Carolina;
Harry Clark, of Sierra, and Harry
Of Camden, N. j.
All these three men, when inter.
viewed, corroborated the foregoing
story. They declared that no oppor-
tunity was given those on board the
Leo for saving life.
The Leo was bound from Philadel-
phia to Manchester with a general car.
