Irish names are numerous in the

many OF the splendid young fellows
on board the Tuscania when she was
torpedoed How vivid must have
been their emotions when they neared
the green isle Of their ancestors!
How fondly they must have pledged
themselves to visit Ireland on return
ing from the war! And what must
have been the feeling of those who
after the blast suddenly found them
selves in the heaving waters, with
only few moments between time and
eternity! 1t is possible to imagine
that for some OF those unfort,mates
there was consolation in the thought
that their bodies would be not lost
