Praise Captains Conduct.
Among the Americans who signed a.
letter praising the conduct of Capt.
Taylor were Mr.. and Mrs. Laurence

Mr.. and Mrs. r. H. Manley of Nelson.
B. c., and Mrs. F. NJ. Morse of Winni-
peg also signed the letter, as well as
Baron Rosenkrantz and his wife. The
British subjects. residents of Great
Britain, who signed the communica-
ton were eleven in number.
Accounts of the passengers were
identical as to the attack, with the ex-
ception of the fact that few of them
saw the beginning when the torpedo
was launched. OF the firing all gave
the same version.
Newest of Cunard Liners.
The Orduna is the newest of the
Cunard transatlantic fleet. She was
built at Belfast and made her maiden
voyage to this port last October. When
designed she was intended for the
southern trade as a tourist ship; but
the outbreak of the war. which saw
her nearly completed, necessitated
change in plans and she was placed
in the transatlantic service, taking the
place of some of the largest Cunard
liners withdrawn from the service.
once before the Orduna feared de-
struction from a submarine. On this
occasion, although she was not at
tackled, she flew the American flag
while passing through the Irish sea,

the German decree declaring war
zone around the British isles became
effective.

German Submarine Torpedo
Missed Cunard Liner by
Ten Feet Only.
ATTACKED NEAR SCENE
OF LUSITANIA DISASTER
Official Report by Capt. Taylor Says
Not a Moments Warning
Was Given.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Cunard
liner Orduna which narrowly escaped
being torpedoed by German sub
marine on her outward voyage from
Liverpool to New York with 227 pas
sengers, including twenty-five Ameri-
cans aboard, was attacked, it was
learned late today. twenty miles from
the graveyard of the Lusitania off Old
Head of Kinsale.
The Orduna escaped the Lusitania's
fate by one-half a second of time or
ten feet of space, the German torpedo
churning the water that distance be-
hind the liners rudder. Then the
Orduna sped away. She was followed
by the submarine, which rose to the
surface. manned gun on her deck
and shelled the fleeing steamer.
Passengers in Their Bertns.
The attack was timed at ten minutes
to s o'clock in the morning when all
but few of her passengers lay sleep
in. in their berths. Aroused by stew
ards. the passengers dressed hurriedly
ana went 10 tne upper ueths' "hSiC
they put on life belts and took their
places at the lifeboats. They heard
the scream of the shells and saw the
ocean 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.
Too Fast for Submarine.
For half an hour the Orduna showed
her heels to the assailant Through
marine glasses the passengers watch
ed the dark splotch on the waters
surface astern. They saw the low
lying German warship coming on with
a bone in her teeth. but the Orduna's
flight was faster than the pursuit and
after seven shots had been fired, with
out 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 thirty-seven miles
south of Queenstown. The reply, Capt.
Taylor says in his official report, was
that help would be given within an
hour 1t was four hours before the
first British vessel. a small 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 was aboard William c.
Thompson of Chicago. counsel to the
federal industrial relations commits
sion, who went abroad in his official
capacity last March and was returning
to complete his mission by making
report, is the passenger who said to-
day that he would make vigorous pro-
test to the American government.

Captains Official Report.

Capt. TaylOr's official report of the
attack, issued late today by the
Cunard line. reads as follows:
AT 80 am, a. =. time, July 0. a
lookout man On the afterbridge rang
the telegraph. at the same time point
ing his hand downward and out on
the port beam. The third officer was
Immediately sent aft to inquire what
was seen. He returned quickly and
reported both men had seen torpedo
pass across the stern from port to
starboard within ten feet clear of the
rudder.
In the meantime both the chief Of
fcer and myself distinctly saw the
trail of the torpedo extending from
the stern to about 2UD yards out on
the port beam. About eight minutes
afterward the chief officer and I saw
the submarine come to the surface
about two points on the starboard
quarter. a distance of about three
quarters of mile. with five or six
men on her deck getting a gun ready
Il Immediately ordered all possible
speed, altered the course and brought
her right astern when they began
Smelling US. The first shot struck the
water abreast of the forecastle on the
starboard side about thirty feet off
The second dropped just under the
bridge; the third abreast of No ) hatch
quite close alongside: the fourth under
the stern, sending up volume of
water forty feet high: the fifth sixth
and last shells all fell short The Ar
ing then ceased and the submarine was
soon left far astern.

said. II consider l am in duty bound

government to go abroad, i feel that

Il felt that / had a right to return
home on the Orduna, although she flies
the British flag, because she is pas
senger ship The fact that she had no
munitions of war aboard fortified this
opinion. The Orduna, an unarmed pas
senger ship, carrying no munitions, was
deliberately attacked without warning,
pursued and subjected to shell fire. 1t

Suspicious of American Ship

Whether the submarine hid behind
an American ship-the bark Normandy
from Gulfport, Miss.-was point upon
which passengers held varying opin-
ions. A small sailing ship with two
American flags painted on her side
was sighted ahead shortly before the
attack. Capt. Taylor, suspicious of the
craft. changed his course. Soon there
after the torpedo was sighted
There was no certainty as to the
identity of this ship that displayed
two painted American flags, but one
OF the passengers thought that he
made out her name to be "Normanie"
through his glasses. There is no such
vessel listed. The American bark Nor
mandy was known to be in the vi
cinity at the time. When she reached
Liverpool, July l., some of her crew
said that submarine had used her
as a shield from which to maneuver
against and torpedo the Russian
steamer Leo-a story that the Nor
mandys captain denied.
The Leo was torpedoed twenty miles.
approximately, from the place where
the Orduna was attacked The Nor
mandys crew said the submarine had
held them up on the evening of July
:: The Orduna was attacked the same
day, but in the morning.
