les of lifeboat inadequacy grow as
the Lusitania passengers are able
to take a cooler view Of the dis
aster. A number of the survivors
maintain that only five out of the
thirty-four life boats which were
swung out, were successfully
launched. Others assert that a
general order for lowering the
boats was not given until the sec
Ond torpedo struck home. Yet all
admit that as many passengers
as possible obtained seats in such
boats as were launched.
Flfty-twO persons were picked
up by one boat along and sixty
four were found packed in anoth-
er. The collapsible boats proved
efficient.
The American survivors have
taken no action and have made
no protest in any form beyond
supplying the American consul
with a few affidavits embodying
their experiences.
