The transport started ;os-urn but was
caught broadside, not having time TO
turn into the clear.
The vessel was hi a little astern OF

Most of the. passengers aboard the
other vessel were not aware of what had
happened. They spent merry evening
IN customary entertainment
Another eyewitness stated the Tus-
cania sank within forty-eight minuoes
after she was struck. He said destroy
ers and others vessels surrounded her,
picking up survivors from the sea and
from life boats. 1t was Tuesday, he
said. He heard two explosions, the lat
ter apparently a bursting boiler.
He said he saw the Tuscania's lights
which had been darxened suddenly fash
ed on, that the ship sent up rockets and
that her lights then went out.
Survivors arriving at Scottish port
said trouble in lowering the boats caus-
ed many casualties
