Marina was torpedoed without warn
irg; that the first torpedo struck on
the starbosrd side, and the second hit
the vessel twelve minutes later and was
followed by a boiler explosion, the
steamer sinking six minutes afterward.
No Americans were killed by the boiler
explosion. Those who lost their lives
were drowned as the lifeboats were
launched.
One lifeboat was in the water seven
teen hours. second twenty-one hours
and a third thirty-one hours. In this
time the danger increased, as the sea
became rougher. The submarine did
not shell the Marina.
Offered No Assistance
A submarine which emerged after
the second torpedo was fired was seen
plainly by Americans on the Marina,
but did not communicate with the
steamship or offer assistance to the
small boats, which we're in deadly peril
from the rough sea.

Rowanmore Shelled After
Stopping, Sailors Swear

London, Nov. 1.-The British steamer
Rowanmore, from Baltimore for Liver
pool, sunk last week by a submarine,
attempted to escape from the attacking
undessea boat, but the latter continued
10 she'll the ship after she stopped, &C
cording TO afidavits from members of
the crew procured by the American
Consul at Liverpool. The principal de-
tails of the sinking extracted from a
number Of the affidavits are as follows:
On October 26, at 8:45 a. m, the
steamer was 100 miles from Fastnet
when shells began TO burst about her.
A moment later the lookout saw the
submarines helm put hard aport, bring
ing the attacking craft directly astern.
Early in the chase two shells struck
the bridge.
The pursuit continued until $3.50
o'clock, five or six shells IN the mean
time striking the steamer. The cap
tain OF the Rowanmore stopped his en-
gines and hosted signals that he in
tended to abandon the ship, but the
submarine continued TO she'll her as the
boats were being lowered, fand when
thew were in the water the occupants
were drenched by spray from falling
shells.
The submarine then headed for the
lifeboats, while one of its officers
shouted, "Get out of our way or we'll
run YOU down." but swerved when near
the boats, passed them and then turned
back, the commander calling out:
81 am sorry for you, but you are very
foolish. You will probably all drown"
The captain Of the Rowanmore was
ordered on board the submarine, but
declined 70 obey. although the command
was thrice given, until a revolver was
pointed at his head. After the captain
had been taken on board the submarine
fred a TORPEDO at the Rowanmore,
which sank. The submarine then sub
merged, and was not seen again. About
three hours later the crew was picked
up.
Two white Americans were on board.
They we're George Murphy, of 74O JET
ferson Avenue, Brooklyn. and Albert
Sessler. of AZ Sharon Street. Boston.
The affidavits of Murphy and Sessier
agree in stating that they saw no
shells fred at the lifeboats after they
were clear Of the ship.

endesvor to dispute this stand again
is conveyed in Overseas News Agency
reports that British armed liners have
shelled a U-boat seeking to search
them.
Formerly Did Admiralty Work
Some significance is attached to the
following news dispatch from London:
1T is regarded here As quite prob
able that the American State Depart
ment will make still further inquiries
with the object Of definitely determn-
ing the status of the Marina. While 1t
is said that she was under private char
ter when she was torpedoed, it appears
that the vessel NAV have engaged IN
Admiralty work not long before"
This was generally construed as re-
fecting some indications Of doubt in
London over whether the ship was en-
titled TO the immunities of a peaceful
merchantmen.
The United States government, how
ever. never has altered its policy of re-
garding merchant ships temporarily in
Admiralty service as merchant ships
still unless they have been actually
taken over by belligerent navy and
manned with a naval crew.

Preston. one of the crew. while ! was
getting into the boat Of Mr.. Smith (the
only surviving officer. The second eX-
plosion came after we were clear OF the

vessel a tremendous list. The second

Immediately.
Il saw three of the crew running up
the stern as the vessel gave its last
tumble. Captain Browne was the
coolest man on board. During the
launching of the boats he saw that
every man visible was in the boats, then
Jumped for q boat himself, but missed
il in the rough sea and was drowned
before our eyes"
Questioned further in regard TO the
presence of two submarines, Preston
said: There were two plainly visible
from the bridge. The first one attacked
us on the starboard while the other lay
off some distance to port, doing obser-
walton duty"
"The ship was struck squarely in the
bunkers," said Robert Hay, a member
of the engine room staff. THE bunk
ers fell in and the engines were dis
mantled. Two men were killed in the
stokehole and several others were
scalded.
Three boats got away; fourth was
smashed. Orders were given to see
particularly that all Americans among
passengers or crew were saved. The
wireless station tried TO summon and,
but his gear was dismantled by the first
torpedo"
Mate Crushed to Death
F. F. Smith, the only one Of the
Marinas officers now alive, said: "The
explosion of the first torpedo threw me
from a settee. / rushed up TO where
the boats already were being launched
We got twenty-siX men into my boat;
there were seven in the second boat.
"When we pulled away | saw Second
Mate Robertson crushed to death be-
tween his boat and the listing ship.
We saw several bodies in the water.
After leaving the ship we had ter
rible experience.
THE sea was rough and the weather
extremely bitter. Every man, although
wellnigh perishing with cold, shock anG
exhaustion, took turns at the oars until
$3.50 o'clock the next morning, when
we were picked up"

The first man or nation to skate is
lost in the mists of antiquity. The
Eskimos of the farthest north were
found to be in possession of runners
carved from whalebone when they
were first discovered. Skating is men
toned by a Danish historian about
1874, and Fitzstephen, in his History
of London" says that in the twelfth
century young men fastened the leg
bones of animals under their feet by
means of thongs, in order to slide
along the ice. A pair of these bone
skates is now in the British museum
Londoners got the idea from Holland,
probably via Lincolnshire, where
skates have been used on the frozen
fens from the very earliest times.
