LutZow fell short, but a torpedo
boat close by disappeared, leaving
only a few odd pieces of wood and a
smashed lifeboat drifting around. 1t
is now 1880, and the hostile circle
grows ever smaller The Lutzow
deep in the water; both are badly
mauled. The fore part of the Lutzow
was in flames. Shells burst against
the ships side in rapid succession.
A terrible sight is presented on board
the LutZow, and it needs iron nerves
to look upon the cooley. Hundreds
have lost their lives, while many
have lain for hours in torture, and
the fight is not yet over. The bow
is now crushed in and is entirely
submerged. The four crews are al
ready sticking half out of the water,
so that the LutZow can only make
8 to 10 knots an hour, as against the
normal 80.
Decides to Transfer.
THE admiral decides to transfer
to the Moltke. He gives orders to
turn and get away from the scene
of the fight but the Lutzow has not
gone a mile before she receives a
broadside of 3S-centimeter shells.
The entire ship was filled with the
poisonous fumes of the shells, and
anyone who failed to aff1x his gas
mask was doomed to be suffocat-
ed.
1T was three quarters of an hour
before the lighting installation was
restored. Then fog the first time
could the extent of the damage
wrought by the salvo be seen. One
of the shells had landed in the sick
bay. Here there were three doctors
and fifteen attendants besides 100 to
$50 wounded. OF all these only four
remained alive. These four We're
hurled into the next compartment by
the air pressure; there they lay
unconscious. ....
"The Lutzow was now a complete
wreck. Corpses drifted past. From
the bows up to the first 30-centi-
meter gun-turret the ship lay sub
merged. The other gun-turrets were
completely disabled, with the guns
sticking out in all directions. On
deck lay the bodies of the sailors in
their torn uniforms, in the midst Of
the empty shell cases. From the
masts fluttereM torn flags, twisted
signal lines and pieces of wire Of
the wireless installation. 49, Had not
the lookout man and the three off,
GERS on the commanders bridge
given signs of life, the Lutzow would
have truly resembled a ship of the
dead. Below, on the battery deck
and in the coal bunkers, there still
lay innumerable wounded.
when the roll was called it ap-
peared that there were 1908 SUI
vivors of the Lutzow; 59T men had
persisted in the hattle."

First Description of Great
NdUdl Battle of Jutldnd From
German Sailors Point of VieU
(Rx Associated Press.l

The Hague, Netherlands, July 80.
Scenes on board the German flag
ship Lutzow during the Jutland
naval battle when some of the new
est and largest of the German battle
cruisers were battered or sunk by
Admiral Beatty's British squadron
in June, 1915, are wildly described
by P. Krug, one OF the Lutzow's
survivors in a pamphlet which has
just been published here. 1t is be-
lieVed to be the first detailed story
Of that great battle from the point
of view of the German sailor, to
reach the public eye. IL.
Torpedoed by a British warship
early in the engagement the Lutzow,
which was the flagship of Admiral
Hyper, was hammered numerically
by the big guns of the British YES
sells, and soon became a complete
wreck, a ship of the dead, as Krug
desribes her.
According to his story twenty
seven German sailors were trapped
in the Diesel dynamo room before
the battle had been long in progress
Lutzow, disabled hulk was
abandoned and sent to the bottom
by a torpedo from a German destroy
er. Two of these imprisoned men
had been driven insane and were
kept tied by their shipmates.
After describing the first part Of
the battle and telling how the ar
rival of British battleships turned
the tables on the Germans, Krug
writes:
The First Direct Hit.
"Suddenly the entire ship Is
roughly shaken. The colossus heaves
far over, and everything that is not
fixed is upset. The first direct hit!
The torpedo pierces the fore part of
the ship. Its effects are terrible.
Iron, wood, metal, parts of bodies,
smashed ships implements are all
intermixed, and the electric light, by
chance spared, continues to shine
upon this sight.
Two decks lower. in the Diesel
dynamo room, there is still life. That
compartment has not been hit, and
q men in the prime of life have
been spared, but the chamber is shut
off from all others, for the water is
rushing into all sections. They are
doomed to death. Several 3S-centi-
meter shells squarely hit their mark,
working terrible havoc. The first
hit the wireless department. OF the
twelve living men who a moment ago
were seated before the apparatus,
there is nothing more to be seem
Nothing is left but smoking heap
of ruins. The second shot again
pierced the fore part of the ship. The
entire fore part of the vessel, as far
as the Diesel motor room was past
saving.
