There was no doubt in anybody's mind as to what had happened. The ship began to sink at once and was beneath the waves seven minutes after striking the mine. "The officers nad crew exhibited the V- -v . greatest coolness under the circum stances. We were able to launch only one of the lifeboats when the ship gave a sudden lurcn and went down. 1 he captain and officers who were at the moment preparing to launch the other boats were compelled to jump into the water to try and save themselves by swimming to the single boat already launched. . Several of them were car ried down with the ship. I was swimmine for 20 minutes before I was picked up. The last 1 saw ot the captain he was giving orders, for launching a second boat I 'took command in the solitary life boat and we Ricked up all the sur vivors and then cruised about for a long time. When satisfied that there was no more to be saved we hoisted an improvished sail. We had gone 24 miles when we wer picked up by the trawler. ,J .
