said Captain Turner in conclusion.
When the German submarine attack

was keeling over on her side and set
tling in the water with tumult reigning
on her decks. there was one man on
the ship who stuck grimly at his task,
swayed neither by panic nor fear. He
was David Mccormick, wireless oper-
ator, who sent out the distress calls
which gave the first notice to the out
side world of the greatest sea disaster
which has occurred since the outbreak
of war.

QUEENSTOWN, May 1o.-More
than five hundred passengers and sail
ors on the Lusitania are believed to
have been killed or injured so badly
they were rendered helpless by the
explosion which followed the impact
Of the second torpedo fired by the Ger
man submarine against the liner.
Captain w. T. Turner Of the Lusita-
MIA was in conference for hours with
representatives of the Cunard line.
When asked by press representatives
if the explosion which resulted from
the second torpedo had been caused
by the blowing up of ammunition stor-
ed in the liners hull, Captain Turner
said:
'No If ammunition had exploded
that probably would have torn the ship
apart and the loss of life would have
been much heavier than it was"
Boilers Blow Up.
The statement of Captain Turner
gave further basis to the belief that
the liners boilers blew up.
The master of the lost Cunader de-
clared that. from the bridge he saw
the torpedo striking toward the Lusl-
tania and tried to change the ship S
course to avoid the missile, but was
unable to do so in time. The only
thing left for him to do was to rush
the liner ashore and beach her, and
she was headed for the Irish coast
when she foundered,
Captain Turner declared that the

The liner st. Paul, Wnlcn pdSseu lhe
scene OF the disaster yesterday. re-
ported by wireless that she had sight
ed many corpses about twenty miles
west OF kinsdale. 1t is believed that
the st. Paul did not pick up any OF the
bodies. leaving them to the rescue
fleet that was cruising in the vicinity.
Survivors, both Americans and Brit
ish, who have arrived in London, Sc
verely criticised the manner in which
the Lusitania was handled, both by
the admiralty and officials of the Gun
ard line.
List Of Complaints.
These complaints summed up brief
ly follow:
l. That the Lusitania instead OF
being kept at top speed as she near
ed the Irish coast, slowed down, thus
making her easy prey for the German
submarines lying in wait for her.
2. That no convoy was placed over
the Lusitania by the admiralty, de
spite the known presence of German
submarines in Irish waters and the
threats that had been made to destroy
the liner.
8. That officers OF the Lusitanis
failed to drill the passengers in the
system to be followed in the case o.
disaster and that officers on the shiI
hid the seriousness of the ships dam
age from passengers up to the las
minute, assuring them there was M
danger.
Points in Inquiry.
A report of the admiralty in an
swering the first accusation declared
that the Lusitania's captain, w. T
Turner, was justified in reducing hi:
speed while travelling through the
steamer line south of Ireland because
Of the presence of mines.
The chief lines of inquiry to be pur
sued in the government investigation
are these:
l. Did Captain Turner exercise thu
proper safeguards for his ship, know
Ing the presence of German subma
rines?
.. What amount of responsibilit,
rests upon the admiralty for not fur
nishing a convoy of warships for thu
liner?
