was no panic among the crew, but that they went about the work of getting passengers into the boats ill a prompt and efficient manner.
 "As we neared the coast of lre- land" MT. Cowper said Eve all jo1n- ed in the look out. A possible attack by a submarine was the whole topic of conversation. 1 was standing with friend at the rail about 2 o'clock when suddenly caught glimpse of the coming tower of submarine about 1000 yards distant. I immedi- ately called my friends attention to it. Immediately we both saw the track of torpedo, followed almost instantly by an explosion. Portions of splintered hull were sent flying.
 "Then another torpedo struck The ship began to list.
 "The crew at once proceeded to get the passengers into the boats in an orderly, prompt and efficient manner Miss Helen Smith appealed to me to save her. l placed her in boat and saw her rcwed away. I got into one of the last boats to leave.
 Some of the boats could not be launched as the vessel was sinking. There was large number oi women and children in the seco,id cabin. Forty of the children were less than a year old
 The heavy loss of life anong the first cabin passengers is believed to have been due to the ca,riness and tself- possession they displayed in face of danger. Most of them were at luncheon when the steamer rec eived her death blow, and declined to join the rush for the boats and life belts They believed the Cunarder would re. main afloat until assistance could arrive.
 considerable portion of those at QueenstcNn are members of the crew including Captain Turner, with the first an dsecond officers. A thei other officers are believed to have, perished
 Life Boats Capsize.
 Apparently every precaution had been taken against surprise attack by submarine. Lookouts wei on the alert constantly, as the giant steamship speeded toward the Irishl coast. Difficulty was eXperlen nced Ill launching the boats because of the heavy list of the Lusitania almost immediately after she was torpedoed. Several of the craft evidently cap- sized as they were launched, or soon afterwards.
 Many of the passengers owe their rescue to life belts which kept them afloat until they were picked up by boats. Among this number was Lady rMackworth, daughter of David A. Shomas, the Walch "coal king and Julien de ,Ayala, Cuban consul gen. eral at Liverpool
 One woman 70 years old was taken from the water, after having been kept afloat for some time by her life belt.
 Julien De Ayala, Cuban consul gen. eral at Liverpool, although one of his legs was badly injured, swam 1bout for a long time, and came ashore wearing only Iris underclotbtng., He climbed into three different boats, but apparently the. first two

London, May S.-lnvestigation has failed to reveal that the Lusitania was given warning of proposed at tack by the submarine which appears to have been lurking off the Irish coast, bent on destroying the largest and fastest ship in transatlantic traffic.
 The lookouts sighted the periscope of submarine 1000 yards away and the next instant they saw the trail left by torpedo as it flashed on it's course.
 Then came a terrific crash as the missile pierced the liners side, fol- lowed almost immediately by an ex- plcsion which littere dthe decks with gwreckage. The course of the liner Four torpedoes, apparently, were fired, but only two of them found their mark.
 The loss of life caused by the tor pedoes themselves and the explosions they caused must have been terribly heavy. The tragic freight of bodies taken to Queenstown bears evidence of the havoc wrought. Many of those taken ashore were seriously injured and more than a score died after they were remved to Cork and Queenstowns hospitals. A long line of stretcher bearers marched from the piers as tugs and trawlers arrived. The people of the Irish city opened their homes to those who had been saved.
 Probably no event of the war has caused such intense excitement in London as the sinking of the Lousi- tania.

"Not any," said Dunn.
"Then go ahead, Tinta, if you want to-
Ask the gentleman for some cherries, and
then beat it right back here. You gotta
learn sometime not to have nothin' what
ever to do with strange men,"
THIS rather illogical permission being
granted, the little girl sidled across to
the vicinity of Prester Jim, who nodded
cordially, but went on picking cherries
out of the air, first with one hand and
then with the other. He did not offer to
share with Tinta, who was somewhat
piqued; but presently he observed a
curious something about one of her curls,
and when she had come step nearer he
took cherry out of the end of it. This
one obviously belonged to Tinta, and she
was permitted to eat it.
Lust happened to notice it, explained
the stranger. He had a funny, weak
voice; but his half shut eyes twinkled.

she could almost look down her back
She felt side-curl carefully.
"Do you think there are any more?"
she inquired gravely.
Prester Jim raised two curls in his
hand. One was empty, but the other
had two cherries in it, His interest was
palpably awakened. He made SYSTEM

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-10-24

THE first time Tinta saw Prester
Jim, he was picking cherries out
of the balmy April air in Bryant
l. Park, and eating them with i'm
mense relish. There could be no doubt
that they were real cherries, for when he
had eaten them he spat out the stones on
the cement walk. The cherries seemed
to be suspended invisbly in space until
he stretched forth two bony fingers and
touched them into luscious being.
Tinta presently touched the arm of her
companion.
Henrietta, Tinta's guardian, loud
spoken but good-humored girl of twenty,
was much more interested, just now, in
her companion-a very casual young man
in the notwithstanding business, by
name Slicker Dunn--than she was in
Tinta. Nevertheless she presently found
a moment in which to heed the child's
request.
"What is it, kid?" inquired Henrietta.
"Would you just look at that mani"
observed Tinta with restraint.
"What MANI
"The little white-haired one-over
there"
Henrietta and her admirer turned their
eyes upon Prester jim, who at this mo-
ment reached straight above his head and
pulled down cluster of three cherries
Mr. Dunn laughed. "Some cherry
picker, kid, amt he? If you go over and
ask him, I'll bet he'll give you some"
Henrietta was a chambermaid in the
Forty-sixth Street clearinghouse where
resided Tinta and her Aunt Kate; and
there were two reasons why she liked to
have the child with her when she was
lucky enough to have an afternoon out.
In the first place, she liked to oblige Miss
Northumberland Hates stage name; and
secondly, she greatly enjoyed batting MIR.
