I was sitting on tho lounge In tho saloon reading' when suddenly I felt a shock that shook tho vessel from stem to stern. Tho companlonway up which I Immediately rushed was tilled with smoke. "All our passengers many of whom wero In their staterooms hurried to tho decks, donning lifebelts. Wo all knew that somo how' or other- tho ship had recched a tremendous blow. "Orders were given from tho bridge to abandon tho ship. Tho boat's crew rushed to their placs and wo got Into tho life boats. I becan lowering myself over tho sldo toward ono boat In which there were about fifty foreign members of tho crew. They were nerxous and panicky, being ln- cllned to fight for places. Half way down to the water from the da Its the boat tilted. It had been improperly swung away, prob ably owing to. tho panic among tho for eigners. "Wo were alt spilled into tho cold water.

When I cjmo up I was close to tho side of the Finland again I kept alloat by grabbing her plates occasionally, although tho hoay waes kept washing me away. I swam about for some time on the crest of theso nnd finally was about to reach a half-submerged boat In which there wero somo American soldiers and three of tho crew. "It was while wo wen- trylrg to launch tho first lifeboat from which we wcte spilled Into the sea, that 1 caught a n,,iontiirv ulliniise of the submarine which must base tired the torpedo It was about 200 yards distant from tho Finland. Her commander cv dtntly poked his periscope above the water to sco whether his shot had found Its mark.

"While I was clinging to this lifeboat we all noticed that the Finland icmalned on n UppI. lolllns with the waes. Wo out that a number of lifeboats returned, the survivors reboardlng. Wo Anally got back ourselves. "The torpedo strunck tho Finland's coal bunkers, barely missing tho engine room But It was the englno room's watertight compartments, hurriedly closed by the en gineer, that undoubtedly saved the ship "That engineer's presence of mind saved all of us.
