submarine and the captain (probably the man picked up) was ordered on board. In case he should be made prisoner and kept on board, he gave the second officer who remained in the boat. the course to steer. He was then taken to the coming tower of the submarine where two officers awaited him.
 Knew it was Hospital Ship
 The commander asked him sharply What ship is that?"
 "'It is the hospital ship Llandovery Castle answered the captain.
 Yes.'-the commander did not at tempt to appear surprised-'but you are carrying eight American flight of- ficers
 We are not replied the captain. We have seven Canadian medical of ficers on board. The ship was charter ed by the Canadian government to carry sick and wounded Canadians from England to Canada
 "The submarine commander reiter- ated: You have been carrying Ameri- can flight officers
 "1 have been running to Canada for six months with wounded. I give you my word of honor that we have carried none except patients, medical staff, crew and sisters
 Brutal U-boat Captain "The commander then demanded if there were any Canadian medical of ficers in the boat and he was told there was one. He ordered him to come aboard.
 Where are our other boats?' asked the captain. The submarine com mander did not answer. He was watching the Canadian medical officer being roughly hauled on board and ! thrust along the deck. This was done so violently and with such plain in ] tention to injure the Canadian, Major T. Lyon of the Canadian army medi- cal corps, that he actually had a small bone in his foot broken by the hand 1 ling he received.
 | There was another German officer in the coming tower, the second in command, who had not yet spoken. In reply to the captains question, he mo- toned over his shoulder with his field l glasses northward.
 Survivors But Few
 "The following survivors from the ] captains boat are the only ones ac- counted for up to the present. Eleven of them were picked up from the wa ter: R. A. Sylvester, captain; L. Chap man, second officer; D. c. Barton fourth officer: H. NJ. Evans, purser; Lamp Trimmer Davies; Painter Scott; o. s. Hunt, able bodied Seaman Mur- phy, Schroeder Goodrich, Ward, Fred gian; Fireman P. McVey; Fireman Mounsey; Trimmer Heather; Deck Steward Savage: Assistant Steward Abrahams; Ward attendant of the Canadian army medical corps. The boat also contained the following; Major T. Lyon. Sergeant Knight ana Orderlies Taylor. Hickman, Pilot ant Cooper.
 Major T. Lyon was interrogated after protesting as a medical officer and ordered back into the boat. Tht captainsalso was allowed to go. Th' boat was cast off. and pulled away from the submarine.
 Tries to Sink Boat
 "The submarine began to circl, around the wreckage at full speed Several times it shaved the boat mar owly, once swirling past within two feet of it. Once it stopped and agaiI took the second and forth officer! aboard and questioned them.
 By this time the submarine com mander invented a new excuse. H. stated that there was a big explosion aft as the vessel sank, and that there fore, she must have been carrying am intuition. The second officer explained patiently that this was the explosion o the boiler and the falling of the fun nel. They were allowed to return {, the boat, which then made sail ant proceeded.
 Shells Other Boats
 Again for a while. the submarin circled and threatened her by swoop ing close to her; then moved off ant i seemed to come to a stop. From thi position, says the captains officia , statement, she opened fire at an un seen target. firing about 12 shells.
 Tt is perhaps too early yet to gues what the unseen target may have been Possibly the other boats when they ar picked up can furnish evidence ol this point.
 The captains boat had been towe, for some distance while alongside tn ) submarine. Nothing was to be seel of the others. Since no wireless Wa sent out there was no hope of assist ance arriving from the north. The cap tain. therefore decided 10 make fo } the Irish coast to send help. After sailing and pulling for abou 70 miles they were picked up by tn ? destroyer Lysander. which immediate ly sent a wireless that search shoul ' be made for the other survivors, an carried the occupants of the captain , boat into Queenstown"
