ORDUNA ATTACKED:
BARELY ESCAPES
LUSITANIA'S FATE
(Continued from First, 1'ago.)
i utes-after we had left her behind I
I looked through iny glasses and enw
' a white streak comlnc; towards us
j through the water. I wasn't sure at
j first It was a streak such as the wake
'of a torpedo or tlie periscope of a sub
' marine, but the question was soon
; set tled.
!toH!'KI>0 CIU IINS t'l*
WlllTK WAKI3 OK FOAM j
\ ' "it was a torpedo. We could see it]
I cominK towards us at high speed, j
.When it appeared to be half :i mile or:
, so off the Orduna seemed to jump
I ahead, und a second nfterwn.rds to!
! swerve to one side. It looked then asj
if the torpedo would strike us aft.;
Rut it didn't. It passed not more thanj
ten yards behind the rudder, churn - j
I inn up a white wake of foam as it j
passed by."
j The passengers turned their classes
I then upon the sailing: ship and tried
! to make out her name. Mr. Graham
j said he thought it was Norninnie, or
something similar.
; Maritime records here contain no
I Nornianie in the list of sailing vessels. ?
j A near approach to this name, how-'
I ever, is that of the American bark
\ Normandy. Normandy reached Liver
pool July 13. three days after the
Orduna was attacked, at the end of
a voyage from Gulfport. Miss., and on
her arrival members of her crew said
the Normandy was stopped by a Ger
man submarine sixty tulles southwest
of Tuskas Hock, off the southeast coast
of Ireland, Friday night. July !>, and
was forced to act as a shield for the
submarine which hid herself from the
Russian steamer I,eo. The submarine
submerged, according to tlW Nor
mandy's crew and proceeded around
the Normandy's bows. Ten minutes
later the crew of the Normandy saw
the 1-eo blown up. The Normandy, her
crew said, was forced to act as a
shield for the submarine on threat of
destruction.
This occurred, the Normandy's crew
said. on the night of July 9. Thej
Orduna was attacked on the morning
of July 9. and the scene of the attack
was about twenty miles distant from
the spot where the I-eo was sunk.
The captain of the Normandy,? how
ever, specifically denied the story told
bv the members of the crew. The 1
bark was stopped by the submarine, he '
said, but was allowed to proceed with
some of the T^eo's crew.

Resuming his narrative of the at- j
tack. Baron Rosenkrant?. said:
"A short time after the torpedo had j
clipped past the Orduna's stern?it
may have been fifteen minutes, it may
have been half an hour?a submarine :
came into sight. We were not special- I
ly surprised to see her, but what did
surprise us was her location. The tor- j
pedo had come at us from the port, i
and the submarine that now loomed up
was abaft our starboard quarter. This 5
may have been accounted for by the 1
fact that Captain Taylor had been
speeding the Orduna on a zigzag i
course. Possibly it was another sub
marine. I don't know. . I
"At any rate, she opened fire on us
. immediately. She seemed to have the :
I range, too. The first shell fell un- j
' comfortably close, and threw up a :
, fountain of water. Captain Taylor
| swerved again, and showed the sub- ;
marine only the liner's stern, making j
; as small a target as possible.
I "Before the first .-hot was tired, how- '
j ever, immediately after the torpedo ;
I missed us. the stewards ran to the ,
[staterooms and told th<- passengers to |
| get ready. Most of the passengers
were asleep. They dressed hurriedly, I
and when the first shot was lired were !
assembled on the upper deck, each pas- I
senger at his alotted place at the life- |
! boats. As a further precaution, each j
passenger put on a life belt.
| "The second shot passed over the ?
j heads of the passengers We could !
j hear th<* scream of the shell. Appar- !
' ently, the submarine was aiming at '
' the bridge and the wireless. We heard j
| the wireless crackle, and afterwards
| learned that the captain had sent out !
I a wireless call for help.
I "The third shot came within* a few,
! minutes?not more than five. It passed
very close over the deck. In fact, it
I seemed to graze one of the lifeboats '
! aft. In a few seconds the officers \
I shouted an order, not excitedly, but ;
I calmly, and as if the order was Just
j an every-day affair. Thera appeared i
j to be no excitement on the surface. |
I All aboard, passengers, crew and of- I
fleers, seemed outward ly calm.
ORDKIIS OMKVEn QI'K'KI.Y
I ANI) WITH O IT KXCITE.MRNT
" 'All passengers to the deck below,'
! was the order It was obeyed, quick
j ly and without excitement. Ah the
I passengers went down the steps, the
! lifeboats were lowered a few feet to
the level of the deck below. Tho pas
sengers assembled In, their places at
the lifeboats as before.
"1 went below with my wife, but
couldn't s.-e very well there, so came
back up on tho upper deck, and looked
through ,,?>? glasses at tho submarine.
I tried to Kot some clue as to her
Identity, hut could not.
"After the third shot, the real chase
began. Through my glasses I could
see the submarine coming fnst with a
bone in lie,- teeth?with the sprnv of
tho waves washing back over her bows
A fourth shot whistled over our heads!
"The Orduna was gaining. She ran
:i zigzag course, all tho time showing I
the .submarine only the stern, and out
maneuvering her pursuer. The dis- I
tance between us grew larger, the I
shots became fewer, and finally, nftet,,
about half nn hour, they censed alto- '
Bother, and the submarine disappeared
"Some little time after the subma
rine disappeared a small vessel, which
appeared to be very fast and was evi
dently a converted yacht, came close
by and steamed along with us for a
Ittle distance. I afterwards learned
that (Ins vessel was a warship, and I
was told on the way across that four
British warships had answered t ?
wireless s. o. ?. call of the Orduna and
had started towards lis. They were
turned back. I was told, when we were
out of danger.

two torpedo-boat destroyers."

UV CAPTAIN TAYLOR
Captain Taylor, whose command of
the vessel under Hie won the admira
tion and praise Of the passengers, mnd?
tho following statement to Charles H.
Sumner, general agent of the Ounnrd
Line hero:
"At 6:60 A. M., July 9, the lookout
man on the after-bridge rang the tele
graph, at the samo time pointing his
hand downward and out on the port
beam. The third officer was immedi
ately sent aft to Inquire what was
seen. He returned quickly, and re'
ported both men had seen a torpedo
pass across the st?rn from port to
starboard, only ten feet clear of the
rudder.
"In the meantime, both the chief
offlcer and myself distinctly saw tho
trail of the torpedo, extending from
the stern to about 200 yards out on the
port beam.
"About eight minutes afterward tho
chief officer and I saw the submarine
come to the surface about two points
on the starboard quarter (distant three
fourths mile), with five or six men on
her deck getting her gun ready. I
Immediately ordered all possible steam,
altered the course and brought her
right astern when they began shellir.g
us.
"The first shot struck the water
abreast of the forecastle, on the star
board side, about thirty feet off. The
second dropped Just under the bridge;
the third abreast of No. 6 hatch, quite
close alongside: the fourth under the
stern, sending up a volume of water
forty feet high. The fifth and sixth
and last shells all fell short.
"The firing then ceased, and the sub
marine was soon left far astern.
"It was an ideal day for torpedo at
tack?light winds, slight ripple, clear
wenther. The periscope could only
have been a few inches above water,
for a very strict lookout was being
kept at the time by the chief and third
officers and myself and four lookout
men. However, we failed to see her
before she fired a torpedo.
"Not the least warning was given,
and most or nearly all the passengers
wer?> asleep at the time. It was al
most another case of brutnl murder."
ATTACK COMES AS LITTI,K
LiKSS THAN SHOCK
WASHINGTON. July 17.?News of the
nttack on tho Cunarder Orduna upsets
the theory of some o(IIcI:iIh hore that
Germany, while not yielding in tho
American diplomatic demands that un
armed rhlps be warned of attack in
accordarfico with international law, was
In practice observing that procedure.
On that theory much hope had been
built for the successful effect' of tho
diplomatic representations brought
about by tho Lusltanla disaster. In
support of their theory ofTlclals had
pointed out that the British ships
Armenian and Anglo-Callfornian, on
both of which American lives wore lor.t,
were warned. As both atteifipted to
escape?and one actually did?the
United States held It could give its
subjects In those eases no relief.
Tho view that Germany now was
conducting her submarine warfare In
accordance with the principles for
which the United States contends lias
been so confidently entertained in of
ficial quarters that tho attack on the
Orduna camo as little less than a shock.
Only yesterday Count liernstorff, the
tierman ambassador, expressed to Sec
retary Lansing his confidence that j
there would not be another disaster j
like the sinking of the Lusitania.

that they did their duly. Captain
Turner remained on the bridge till he
was swept Into the tsea. and Captain
Anderson was working on deck until
he went overboard and was drowned."
The court also praised Lesiio N.
Morton, acting as extra lookout when
the Lusitania was torpedoed.
"He was only eighteen years of age,
but he seems to have exhibited great
courage, self-possession and resource,"
said Lord Mersey. "He was the first
to observ the approach of the tor
pedoes, and before they had touched
the ship he had reported them to tho
bridge by telephone."

opinion, they did more harm than
good," Lord-Mersey said. "It Is. how
