situation there, by what has happened

lives of so many may be left to take
care OF themselves. 1t is not so much
necessary to fight disease as to Guilt

sengers and 40 of the crew of the Fal-
aba were saved. Four Of the passeng-
ers and four of the crew are reported
killed and 81 passengers and 43 of the
crew are missing.
When the submarines appeared,
both steamers tried to escape by
crOwding on full steam, but the under
water boats overhauled them after
short chases and in each case the
Germans then allowed but few minu-
ties to get his passengers and crew
into the small boats.
The captain Of the Falaba, who was
lost, was given five minutes to get his
passengers and crew off but, accord
ing to the survivors, before this was
possible a torpedo hit the engine room,
causing a terrible explosion. Many
were killed and the steamer sank in
10 minutes.
\Trawlers rescued most Of those
who were saved; others got away in
the boats. Those still on the steamer
when the explosion occurred were
thrown into the sea and it took the
fishermen an hour or more to pick up
those in the water who managed to
keep af1oat.
The Aguila's captain was allowed
four minutes in which to leave his
ship. The submarine opened fire kill
ing a woman passenger, the chief
engineer and two of the crew. Even
after the crew had commenced to
lower the boats, according to the sur
vivors, the Germans kept up their fire
and some of the boats were riddled.
