PREVENTED FROM
AIDING LUSITANIA
Three Ships Were Attacked by Sub
marines Or Given Warning Not
to Render Assistance.

BOSTON,, May 1S.-According to Capt
w. f. Wood of the Ley1and line steamer
Etonian, which arrived from Liverpool
today, was prevented from going to the
rescue of passengers of the Lusitania by a
warning that attacks might be made upon
her When the Captain was 40 miles
from Kinsale he received wireless call
from the Lusitania for immediate assist
ance and the call was also picked up by
the steamers City of Exeter and Nara
gansett The Narragansett, Capt Wood
said, was made a target for submarine at
tack, a torpedo missing her by few feet
and the commander then warned Capt
Wood not to attempt to aid the Lusi-
tania.
| Capt Wood added: II was about AZ
miles distant from the position the Lusi-
tania operator gave me. The Narragan-
sett was closer AT ) p. m. l observed the
| City of Exeter cross our bows, and she
signaled Have You heard anything of the
Disaster" At that very moment | saw
the periscope of the submarine between
the Eutonian and City of Exeter. She i'm.
mediately Owed as soon as she saw us
coming to her. | saw the splash in the
water caused by her submerging. / sig
nailed the engine roomfor every available
inch of speed and there was a prompt re
spouse. Then we saw the submarine
come up astern of her | now ordered full
speed ahead We left the submarine slow
lly. Our speed was perhaps two miles al
hour better than the submarine could do
No sooner had we lost sight of the sub
marine astern than / saw another on oul
starboard side. | starboarded hard away
swinging as we did About eight minute,
later it submerged / continued at tor
e.. e.,
submarines. 1t was the ships speed tina
saved her, that's all. The Narragansett
when she heard the $. o. s. call, went Il
the Lusitania's aid. A submarine dis
charged a torpedo toward her escaped he
by about eight feet. The Narraganset
! then warned US not to go to the rescue o
the Lusitania and l got the wireless Will

can see three ships would have gone t
the assistance of the Lusitania if they ha
not been attacked by submarines

catch in the second. Fitch as catcher
met with a painful accident in the

him at the plate he was struck violens

shoulder. A pretty bit of sprintine
was seen in the eighth when H. Sparks
was pursued from close to home plate
by the catcher, holding the ball, tt

easily, running and stealing bases be
