water. some encased in life belts and
others buoyed up with bits of debris.
Survivors told the O'Connell's seaman
that the liner sank so rapidly that
many persons must have gone down
with her.

the precaution to wear a life belt
When the liner plunged to the bot
tow, Lady Mackworth went down with
the ship, but when she rose to the
surface she was picked up by a life
boat.
1t is believed that more than one
German submarine was lying in wait
for the Lusitania. A submarine was
seen in Dunmanus Bay, at the eX-
treme southwestern corner of Ireland
on Friday morning and another off
Glandore Bay. Glandore Bay is about
thirty miles west of kinsale and Dun
manus Bay about 45 miles west of
the point where the Cunarder was de-
stroyed.
There was no Germans on board the
liner. but the following other nationali-
ties were represented on the first

PANIC BREAKS OUT
WHEN TORPEDO HITS

QUEENSTOWN. May. Sit was
about ten minutes after two ,and many
of the first cabin passengers of the
Lusitania were at lunch, when appar-
emily without warning there was jarr-
ing explosion that shook the Giantess
from stem to stern. Immediately there
was another shock of greater severity
than the first. The greyhound keeled
over so sharply that scores were
thrown from their feet.
There was a crash as though the
boilers had exploded and the interior
of the ship was filled with flying
wreckage that left death and wounds
in its wake.
Fire broke out. Smoke rolled up
ward. Before the first stages of the
inevitable panic had made itself felt
officers and seamen were running
through the ship reassuring the pass
engers that they need not be alarmed
and that care would be taken of them.
The work of launching the lifeboats
from the undamaged side of the ship
was commenced, while the liner con-
tinued to roll further and further un-
til she was almost on her beam ends.

London, May Sweeping men and
women besieged the office of the Gu
nard steamship line all night, and at
daybreak today the immense crowd
was augmented by the arrival of per-
sons from towns outside of London
two had loved ones aboard the sunken
liner.
On the face of repeated bulletins that
the liner had gone down with perhaps
more than 1900 of it's passengers and
crew, the crowd refused to credit the
report until near midnight when the
meagre stories of the survivors
brought into Queenstown reached here
and confirmed their worst fears
And then the crowd became wild in
it's grief and wild in it's anger toward
the German government because one
of it's submarines had bereft them of
wives, husbands, sweethearts, children
and parents.

REVISE DEATH
LIST OF SHIP

NEW YORK, May S,-Basing their
estimate on the Admiralty's estimate
that only 703 Of the Lusitania's pas
sengers and crew were saved, the
Cunard officials announced the death
list would total 1864 The revised list
they stated showed 1851 passengers
while the crew numbered S16, total
of 2,067. The local officials said the
announcement in London that the
Lusitania carried 2,16O persons was
an error due to the incorrect passen-
ger lists.
The statement of the local office eX-
plains the discrepancies between the
New York figures on the number lost
and those of London, the latter being
