651 crew members and 1885 passen-
gers.
In those days the world did not
know so much about the danger
from submarines. There had been
some sinkings, to be sure, but most
persons believed there at least
would be a warning before a large
passenger liner was torpedoed.
Suddenly, at 2 o'clock on the aft
ernoon of the 7th Of May, the look
out shouted:
Submarine on the starboard
bowl"

-U-Boot Sank Huge Liner in 20 Minutes

The shout came too late. There
was no time for the pilot to try to
zigzag out of the way of harm. A
torpedo came streaking through the
water and struck its mark.
Quickly the passengers and crew
fastened their life jackets and made
ready to step into lifeboats. but in
only 20 minutes the mighty vessel
sank. There had not been enough
time to launch all the boats. Eleven
hundred and ninety-eight men,
women and children died in the
tragedy.
Among the 708 who were saved
some had strange stories to tell,
Two women were struggling in the
water when a man with an oar came
near. He told each of them to take
hold OF one end Of his oar, then he
pushed the oar as he swan to a
canvas raft, where all three were
taken safely aboard.
