ICUNARD LINER LUSITANIA
TORPEDOED OFF IRELAND
[Continued from First I'auc.]
Britain and her allies; that the zone of war includes the waters ad
jacent to the British Isles; that in accordance with notice given by
the German government vessels flying the flag of Great Britain are
liable to destruction in those waters and that travelers sailing in
the war zone on ships of Great Britain or her allies do so at their
own risk. 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:

Submarines May Have
Been Waiting For Ship
The presence of German submarines
off the southern coast of Ireland and '
along: the line of travel the Lusitania I
would follow in going to Liverpool,! |
was made known in a dispatch from j i
Glasgow last night which recited that 11
the British steamer Cherbury had I
been torpedoed in the Atlantic ocean,
off the Irish coast. This was on April
27. Two other vessels were sent to the
bottom more recently, the Centurion
and the Candidate. Just where these
ships were attacked has not been made
known but their destinations lead to
the belief that one or more German
submarines have been operating in the
lines of trans-Atlantic travel. It may
be thai they were waiting for the Lusi- j
tania, and in the meanwhile attacked;
such other vessels as came within'
| their range. |
