 Queenstown, May 9.-(5:30 a. m.) A smear of flotsam on the face of a calm sea 23 miles from this port marks the grave of the Cunarder Lus'- fania. victim of German submarine
 One hundred and forty-nine of the 1900 persons who perished with the liner lie in improvised morgues in old buildings that line the Queenstown har- bor. They either were picked up dead or succumbed after landing.
 Tho s4s survivors or the d.sastarsilere are auartered in hotels, residences and hospitals. some too badly hurt to be moved Two groups left Saturday aft ernoon and evening clad in misfit cloth ing for Dublin by rail and thence by boat to Holy Head. The injuries of some are SO serious that additional deaths are expected and nearly all are too dazed to understand fully what has happened.
 The survivors do not agree as to, whether the submarine fired one or two torpedoes. A few say they saw the periscope and many attest to tracing the wake of the foam as projectiie raced toward the vessel.
 The only points in which all concur is that the torpedo struck the vessel vital blow amidships causing her to list almost immediately to the star board. In this careening fashion she plowed forward some distance, smash ing the left boats davits as she did so and making the launching of boats well nigh impossible until headway had been ceased. How far the Lusitania struggled forward after being struck and how long it was before she dis appeared beneath the waves are points on which few passengers agree, esti- mates of the time she remained ahoat ranging from to 20 minutes. The list to starboard so elevated life boats on the port side as to render them useless and 1t is said only two on that side were 1ux
