USED AMERICAN FLAG.
NEW YORK, FEB. 1o.-When the
cunard liner orduna reached Quaran-
tine today. inbound from Liverpool,
her passengers declared that she had
flown the American flag for nearly "a
hours on January 81, while passing
through the Irish sea. The stars and
stripes, It was stated, was hoisted by
Captain Tayior's orders, an hour after
the liner started out Of the Mersey,
and were kept flying until Monday
morning.
The change In flags, the passengers
on the liner said, was made immedi-
ately following the receipt Of wire
less order from shore. Whether the
order came from the officials of the
line or from the admiralty, the passen-
gers could not say.
Il was on January 81, the day that
the orduna sailed, that the big Ger
man submarine U-21 tcrpedoed and
sank three steamers off Fleetwood.
north Of Liverpool. The first Of the
vessels, the Ben Cuacnen. was sent
TO the bottom Just about the time the
Oduna turned her nose out Of the
I Mercy into the. irish sea. At that
time the orduna was flying her mail
pennant and the union Jack. A wireless
message was received and hurried to
the captain. Shortly afterward the
British flag was hauled down and the
American flag hoisted in Its stead. It
remained there until the liner was off
Queenstown when the British flag
was again substituted and was kept
flying until after the pilot was dropped
Then the American flag was again
substituted and kept flying until the
liner Was we'll off the irish coast.
Several passengers declared mem.
bers Of the crew had told them the
captain had been warned by the ad.
miralty that there were a number Of
German submarines off the coast CT
ireland and that he was to take all
precautions to protect his ship and
his mails.
Captain Thomas NJ. Taylor, master
Of the Orduna, said that as he was a
British officer in the British navy, he
could not discuss anything that had
transpired on board his ship.
