that he expected any trouble. He
had in fact lowered the speed of
his ship from 81 to 18 knots in

the ship shivered. There was the

Capt Schwieger's aim had sent
the torpedo into the Starboard
side right behind the bridge. The
first explosion was followed a few
seconds later by a second detona-
ton. The whole vessel trembled
in a violet paroxysm.

Two minutes later, from the

To American protests the Ger

made the ship fair target for
enemy weapons.
Reason, however. no longer pre-

rections to lower away.
But in an incredible short time
the list had become so heavy that
it was impossible to get the boats
down over the port side Of the
available boats only two ever
reached the water; one was badly
damaged on the way down and

NO hint Of the tragedy
that was about to
shake the world was visible
on the calm waters off the
coast of Ireland, as the
LuSitania steamed along
steadily, early in the after
noon of May 7, 1915.
But full 20 years later, the
fateful events of that afternoon
would still excite mankind, and
the ewes of the world would be
fixed upon a salvage ship diving
10 pry loose their tragic mystery.
The story Of this salvage ship,
the Orphir. will be told exclusive
" in The indianapolis Times.
They were events that would
shake a world already tottering
on the brink of the abyss. and
that were to become one Of the
most fantastic of all the dramas
of men. war and the sea.
On that warm spring afternoon,
however. the 1857 passengers
aboard the giant liner had just
finished a comfortable lunch and
we're strollng Care-free on the
decks. enjoying the sunshine and
the gentle ocean breeze.
The crossing from New York
had been a pleasant one, and the
travellers gazed almost regret
fully at the shores of the Old
Head Of Kinsale, clearly visible
some eight miles away. In less
than a days run they would be at
Liverpool and the voyage would
be over.
THE ship was in the war zone
I of submarine-infested waters,
but little anxiety was felt aboard.
Notice that passengers on Eng
lish ships Travelled at their own
risk, posted in New York by the
German government before sail
ing. had not been taken seriously.
Even Capt. William J. Turner.
In command of the ship, paid
little heed to the wireless warn
ings received that very morning
from the British Admiralty at
Queenstown. Until that time no
passenger liners had been at
tae.., and even if German u
boats lurked in the Irish Channel,
it was not believed that ship like
the LuSitania would be sunk un-
les the safety of those aboard
was first insured.
Ten or Is miles away, Capt.
SChwieger. in command of the
German U-20. suddenly made out
the masts and four tunnels of "a
large passenger liner Just ap-
nearing over the western horizon
ahead Of the submarine. Sch
wieger and his crew were return
ing to their home base after sew
eral days Of operations in Irish
waters. The U-2O already had
sent several small enemy ships to
the bottom as part of its regular
war routine. but the meeting with
this passenger vessel was a chance
encounter.
E1ated. Capt. Schwieger studies
the huge liner. In few minutes
II was obvious TO him that the boat
must soon turn directly toward
him in order to avoid land. An
unexpected piece Of luck. Capt.
Schvieger put his submarine on
northerly course to intercept, and
from that moment the single.
secret eve of the periScope never
left its quarry.
A T about o'clock the Lusi-
"a tania'S passengers were be-
ginning TO come up on deck after
their lunch. The sea was clear.
There were no convoy ships and
no patrol to issue warnings of
danger. and all looked serene and
peaceful.
Capt. Turner had put a double
lookout on watch as a precaution-
ary measure. but apart from that
