the man picked up) was ordered on board,
 '1ln case he should be made pris- oner and kept on board he gave the second officer, who remained in the boat, the course to steer. He was then taken into the coming tower, where two officers awaited him.
 "The commander asked him sharp ly: What ship is that?'
 'lt is the hospital ship Llandoyery Castle ansW cred the captain,
 Yes the commander did not ap- pear to be surprised--'but you arc carrying eight American flight off Cers
 We are not replied the captain. We have seven Canadian medical of ficers on board. The ship was char tered by the Canadian government to carry sick and wounded Canadians from England to Canada.
 ITO the submarine commander s charge that. You have been carrying American flight officers, the captain replied:
 "I have been running to Canada for six months with wounded ] give you my word of honor We have car ried none except patients, medical staff crew and sisters
 The commander then demanded f there were any Canadian medical off ceIs in the boat and was told there was one. He ordered him to come aboard.
 "'Where are Cur other boats?' asked the captain The submarine com mander did not answer. He was watching the Canadian medical ofil- cer 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 handling he received
 There was another German ofli- cer in the coming tower the second in command. In reply to the ques- ton of the captain. he motioned north ward over his shoulder with his field glasses
 Survivors from the captains boat are the only ones accounted for up to the present.
 Among those in the boat were Ma ior T. Lyon.
 Major Lyon was interrgoated after protesting as medical officer and ordered back into the boat. The cgp- tain also was allowed to go. The boat was cast off and pulled away from the submarine.
 The submarine began to circle around the Mreckage at full speed. Several times it shaved the boat mar rowly, once swirling past within two feet of it; once it stopped and again took the second and fourth officers aboard and questioned them.
 By this time the submarine com mander invented a new excuse. He said there was big explosion aft as the vessel sank and that she must have been carrying ammunition. The second officer explained this was the explosion of the boiler and the falling of the funnel. They were allowed to return to the boat, which then pro ceeded.
 Again for while the submarine circled and threatened her by swoop- ing clcse to her; then moved off and seemed to come to a stop. From this position, says the captains offiical statement. she opened fire at an un- seen target, firing about l2 shells.
 Tt is perhaps too early yet to guess what the unseen target may have been. Possibly the other boats when they are picked up can furnish cyi~ dence on this point
 "The captains boat had been lowed for some distance while alongside the submarine. Nothing was to be seen of the others Since no wireless was sent out there was no hope of assist ance arriving from the north. The captain. therefore, decided to make for the Irish coast to send help.
 After sailing and pulling for about 70 miles they were picked up by the destroyer Lysander, which immediate ly sent a wireless that search should be made for the other survivors. and carried the occupants of the captains boat into Queenstown"
