BRITISH STEAMER TOTPEDOED
Many Of Grow and Passengers We're
LOst-Fircd on In Irish Sea.


Dublin, Oct. 11.-A passenger
OH board the mail steamer Leinster
saw the fatal torpedo approaching
the ship. He informed the captain,
but the torpedo was so near that
escape was impossible. The projec-
tile struck the side Of the boat be-
tween the forecastle and the COM
partment set aside for postal clerks.
The weather was fine. but the sea
was rough, following recent storm.
According to figures reported here
there were on board 6S7 passengers
and a crew Of about 20.
After the Leinster had been struck
by the first torpedo, and in her dis
abled condition, she was easy prey,
and the submarine fired second
torpedo. This missile struck the
vessel amidship, entered the engine
room and caused an explosion OF the
ships boilers.
There was some confusion as the
passengers tried to enter the boats,
and many persons were thrown into
the sea. AS soon as information
regarding the Leinster's plight was
received in kmgstown, tugs and de-
stroyers to the number Of fifteen
hastened to the place. Survivors
say that the submarine fired the two
torpedoes without warning from a
range Of about $50 yards. Details of
the lost and saved have not been OBJ
tanned. Capt. Birch, the Leinster's
commander, was among those lost.
1t is known that the two steward
esses were drowned. Fourth Engi-
neer Jones said that if the second
torpedo had not struck the Leinster,
all on board, except those who had
been killed directly by the first tor
pedo would have been saved, as
there was plenty of time to launch
the boats.
The explosion of the second tor
pedo, he said however, blew the ship
up like matchwood. Jones saved
himself by jumping. He was in the
water an hour and was clnging to
raft when rescued by a destroyer.
The rescue ships picked up scores of
persons from the water, where they
were clinging to upturned boats and
RATS and broken timbers. The sur
vivors were brought to Kingstown.
All were in a desperate state as re-
suit of their hours of exposure in the
rough sea.
A number of dead bodies were also
landed.
A memebr Of the crew said that
the explosion Of the second torpedo
blew the tunnels to pieces. Some
Of the wreckage fell on the deck,
| killing several persons.
A majority of the passengers who
were on the forward deck we're
thrown into the sea, according to
the same witness, who added that
some of the boats we're smashed in
being launched, and that others cap
sized.
Francis Osborne, Judge OF the high
court Of the Sudan, who was one OF
the passengers, said he saw the first
torpedo approaching. When it struck
the ship the vessel began to settle
He went over to the side and slid
down a rope, as others had done, and
entered boat. While the life boat
was tossing close to the ship the sec
ond torpedo was fired. The Lem
ster was the fifth channel boat sunk
by submarines.
