The advertisement was signed "Imperial German Embassy." This warning apparently did not cause many cancellations for the ship sailed with a very full passenger list. Just before the steam er's departure a number of passengers received telegrams at the pier, signed by names unknown to them and presumed to be fictitious, advising them not to sail as the liner was to be torpedoed by sum marines. Alfred G. \ anderbilt was one of the passengers who received such a message. He destroyed it without comment. Charles P. Sumner, general agent of the Cunard line was at the pier and in a statement made then said that the voyage of the Lusitania would not be attended by any risk whatever as the liner had a speed of twenty-five and a half knots and was provided with unusual water-tight bulkheads. In commenting on the report of the torpedoing of the Lusitania to-day marine men pointed out that in their opinion the Lusitania could not be sunk by a single torpedo. 1 he Lusitania was delayed for more than two and a half hours in sailing for Liverpool last Saturday on account of having to take over the lt>3 passengers from the Anchor Liner Cameronia, which was chartered at the last minute by the British Admiralty. (_ harles 1 . Bowring, head of the firm of Bowring Brothers, and president of the St. George's Society, was one of the passengers who sailed on the Lusitania. He commented on the advertisement appear ing in the German papers characterizing it as a silly performance and below the dignity of a diplomatic representative of any foreign government. Alexander Campbell, general manager for John Dewar & Sons, London, who also sailed, referred to the advertisement as "tommy rot." Other passengers on the Lusitania included Elbert Hubbard, publisher of the Philistine; D. A. Thomas, the wealthy Welsh coal operator and his daughter. Lady Mack worth, the English suffra gette. All these persons took occasion to say that they saw nothing to worry at in the advertisement. New York, May 7.—lf the reports are true that tile Lu.siUinia was tor pedoed at 2 o'clock (his morning and that she did not go down until half past two this afternoon, she was afloat for more than 12 hours a period of time which undoubtedly gave opportunity for efforts at the removal or passengers. It Is not known just how far from shore the Lusitnnla was when she was struck. A dispatch from London set forth that assistance was sent to her The cablegram was preceded by the following messages: '•Liverpool, May 7.—Land's end wireless reports distress calls made by Lusitania as follows: "•Come at once. Big list. Position ten miles west liinsale.'" A third cable despatch read as follows: ••Queenstown, May 7.—A1l available craft ir harbor dispatched to as- U. S.

This was on April 27. Two other vessels were sent to the bottom more recently, the Centurion and the Candidate.
