FIRST TRANSATLANTIC
VICTIM.

The Cunard Liner Lusitania
was torpedoed and sunk off the
coast-ef ireland, ten miles south
Of Kinsale.
The vessel carried 1888 pas
sengers, Of which 1873 were
American citizens.
Officials of the Cunard Line
IN London announced that the
ship had been torpedoed without
any warning.
Reports indicate that the Lusi-
tania sank fifteen minutes after
being struck.
1t was the Lusitania, whose
flying of the American flag last
February on her way from
Queenstown to Liverpool, in or
der to protect her against Ger
man submarines, that caused
considerable astonishment on
both sides of the ocean.
Washington is expected to
make strong representations to
Germany as q result of the tor
pedoing of the Lusitania with
out warning.
The Lusitania's cargo was
valued at about s750,000 and con-
tanned a large quantity of war
supplies. Her manifest included
100000 pounds Of brass and cop
per wire, $4,000 worth Of mill
tary goods and SAL cases of
ammunition valued at s200,024,
all of which was contraband of
war. The ship itself, Cunard
officials said, was covered by
s5,000,000 war risk insurance.

that the express steamer would be

HEROISM DISPLAYED.
WHEN SHIP WENT DOWN.

TRANSFORMATIONS Of the most re-
markable escapes from the Lusitania
was that Of R. ]. Timmis of Gaines
vile, Texas, who was returning to
England for his yearly visit, accom-
panied by his friend, R. T. Noodles,
also of Gainesville. Both men gave
their life belts to steerage women Just
as the Lusitania sank Timmis, who
is strong swimmer, remained in the
water, clinging to various objects, for
nearly three hours. Then he was
taken into boat, which he still had
the strength to assist in rowing.
The boat began picking up all those
showing signs of life, and the first per-
son rescued was the halfconscious
steerage woman to whom Timmis had
given his life belt. Noodle sank when
the ship went under and, although a
good swimmer, was not seen again
Noodle was ready to jump when Tim
mis-. who previously had given his belt
to a woman, said: There Is a steer
age woman with a months old baby"
Noodle promptly stripped of his life
belt, but 1t seems both he and the
woman persisted.
Thomas Slidell, of New York, who
was interviewed in London yesterday,
said he saw Alfred G. Vanderbilt on
the deck Of the Lusitania as the ves-
sci was going down.
Mr. Vanderbilt, who could not swim,
was equipped with life belt, Mr.
