1910 Passengers on Ship
When She Left New York

When the Lusitania sailed she had
aboard 1910 passengers Some nervous
ness had been caused because OF the
publication in the morning papers OF
Saturday of an advertisement warning
intending travellers that q state OF
war existed between Germany and
Great Britain and her allies: that the
some Of war includes the waters ad-
jaeent to the British Isles: that IN &C
cordance with notice given by the
German government vessels flying the
nag of Great Britain are liable to de-
.truction in those waters and that
travellers sailing in the war zone on
ships Of Great Britain or her allies do
SO at their own risk
This warning apparently did not
cause many cancellations. for the ship
sailed with a full passenger list. Just
before the steamers departure a num-
Der of the passengers received :ele-
grams at the pier, signed by names
unknown to them and presumed to
be fictitious, advising them not to sail
as the liner was to be torpedoed by
submarines. Alfred Gwynne Wander
bilt was one of the passengers who
received such a message. sFe de-
stroyed the message without comment.
Agent Reassured Travellers.
Charles ?. Sumner. general agent of
the Cunard line, was at the pier, and
in statement made then said that the
voyage of the Lusitania would not be
attended by any risk whatever, as the
liner had a speed of twenty-five and
a half knots and was provided with
unusually tight bulkheads.
In commenting on the report OF the
torpedoing of the Lusitania today
marine men pointed out that in their
opinion the Lusltania could not be
sunk by single torpedo.
The L-usitanta was delayed for more
man Two and a half hours In sailing
for Liverpool last Saturday on account
OF having TO take over the 1913 passen-
gers from the Anchor liner Cameronia.
which was chartered at the last min
ute by the British admiralty.
