COAST Guard Says Vessel
Sank Within EIGHT Minutes

Cork, Ireland, May s, 6.O4 A. M
A coast guard who witnessed the sink
ing of the ship 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 bows in the air. He
said hardly ten minutes later she
keeled over on her side and sank.
A resident of Ardfeld estimates the
ship was Eve miles from shore when
he heard the crash of the torpedo when
it pierced her side. For moment she
seemed to move slowly straight ahead,
then turned suddenly and then stopped,
her bow sinking and the stern rising.
Then she keeled over and disappeared
from sight. Within few minutes ten
boats had reached the spot where she
went down.
The trawler Daniel O'Connel. while
fishing, came upon two of the Lusitan-
ia IS boats, containing 65 passengers,
mostly women and children, in a de-
plorable plight. The trawler took the
boats in tow and was proceeding with
them to Kinsale, when it was intercept
ed by government tugs, which took the
survivors to Queenstown.

Tending to show that the captain of

dent yesterday. While much of the
letter is of personal nature Mr.. Keane
made public the substance of that part
of the communication which is of spe-
cial public interest at this time.
According to Mr.. Keane the letter
states that on April 8, while the Lusi-
tania was sailing toward Liverpool,
and was off the coast of Ireland, the
captain ordered forty-eight life boats
to be placed in readiness. as if in fear
something might happen. The cap
tain, however, assumed an optimistic
attitude, telling the passengers that no
danger was anticipated
During the voyage three engines
were constantly in use but on April 8
the fourth was ordered in readiness,
and Immediately the fremen and engi-
neers steamed it up ready for instant
use. For two nights before landing all
lights on the outside of the vessel were
extinguished and the decks were in to-
tai darkness.
Miss keane further wrote that much
anxiety was shown among the passen-
gers and everybody was in state of
nervousness, although the captain in
sisted there was no danger
Miss keane sailed for Ireland on the

She was accompanied to New York by

sharp lookout for submarines was Aept
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, but that they went about the
work of getting passengers into the
boats in prompt and efficient man
ner.

Dublin, May 8, 6.24 A. M.-Many
of the Lusitania s survivors who landed
at Queenstown were only partly clad,
having east aside as much clothing as
possible when they donned life belts.
Most of the men, women and children

wore these belts. One woman more than

Awful Scenes in Queenstown
Queenstown has never witnessed
such scene before. The dead are be-

motor cars have been brought into serv-

Many of the survivors are still be-

and their accounts of the sinking of the
Lusitania are not entirely clear. It is
to be noted, however, that one and all
united in eulogizing the manner in
which the ships officers behaved
Grew Works With Heroism
Five minutes after the Lusitania was
hit with the second torpedo amidships
she had listed to such an extent that
the life boats on one side could not be
launched at all. The work of getting
as many people as possible, for the most
part women and children. into the. only
boats that could be got clear was at
once undertaken by the captain and
officers and men of the Lusitania and
performed efficiently and with heroism.
The scene as the big liner went
down is described by the survivors as
heartrending beyond words. Battling
for life, the passengers called to rela-
tives and friends or bade each other
goodbye.
Collect Bodies of Floating Dead
The small boats which had gotten
away from the side of the liner picked
up a good many survivors who, with
life belts or clinging to wreckage, were
floating on the surface of the water.
But soon the boats all were crowded.
These boats were in turn picked up by
rescuing steamers coming at full speed
from shore points, but in many cases
four and more hours elapsed before the
rescuers reached the scene.
In many cases the only work left for
the rescue workers to do was to collect
from the water the floating bodies of
the dead. Several passengers were ta-
ken aboard trawlers severely injured,
only to die before they could be trans
ferred ashore.

D. A. Thomas, the Cardiff, Wales, coal

statement counselling calmness and ad-

man Stone pointed out that qualifying
circumstances must be taken into con-
sideration because the Lusitania was a
belligerent vessel, but he considered
the attack ON the American steamer
Gulfight much more serious offense

40 .:esident, Secretary Bryan and
other members of the Cabinet were
visibly depressed. Persons who talked
with them found them sick at heart and
grieved at the horror of the catas-
trophe. Notwithstanding that warnings
had been given, it had been regarded
as inconceivable by high officials that
the threatened sinking of the vessel
woitd actually be carried into effect.
The fact that the Lusitania was a
British ship, flying the British flag and
even had contraband of war aboard,
did not remove from their minds the
ever recurrent thought that hostile
submarine deliberately destroyed the
ship with the knowledge that hundreds
of defenseless neutrals and women and
children were aboard.
An Unprecedented Attack
Everywhere that aspect overshad-
owed the legal phases of the case, for,
while there is said to be no precedent
in international law for the attack

might be made on the charge that guns

another passenger. He was accompan-
led by Justus Forman, playwright and
author. Charles Klein, one of the best
known American playwrights, also ac-
companied Mr.. Frohman.
Herbert Stuart Stone, elder son of

survivors number only 65S, while there
were 2,1O0 souls aboard the great liner
when she was attacked. Of those who
were saved, 595 were landed at
Queenstown and IL at Kinsale, while
81 Others ale reported to be aboard
a steamer. All but one of the rescue
fleet of torpedo boats, tugs and trawlers
which went out from Queenstown have
reported. There is a slender hope that
fishing boats hay have rescued few
more.
In addition to the living brought
ashore, the bodies of 45 who died of
injuries or were drowned have been
landed at Queenstown. Five more are
at Kinsale and it has been reported
that an armed trawler. accompanied bv
two fishing boats, has picked UP 100
others.
Declined to Join Rush for Boats
The heavy loss of life among the
first cabin passengers is believed to
have been due to the calmness and self
possession they displayed in face of
danger. Most of them were at lunch
con when the steamer received her
death blow and declined to join the
rush for the boats and life belts. They
believed the CInarder would remain
afloat until assistance could arrive.

been taken against surprise attack
