inmates were drowned.
SEEKS EXCUSES
After the boats left the hospital
ship the submarine commander
called the British captain aboard
his craft and conVersed with him.
The Hun insisted the Llandovery
Castle had airplanes and aviators
aboard and though positively as
sured that such was not the case
and that there were only the
nurses, the medical staff and the
officers and crews he Indignantly
insisted that if it did not have
aviators it did carry explosives
and insisted the explosion aft
where the torpedo struck, was
proof of this.
He then ordered the captain
back into his boat and as it was
rowed away they saw the diver
