RECALLSSTORY OF LUSITANIA'S FATE MAY 7,’15 Anniversary of Worst Sea Tragedy Is Celebrated in New York. Bv United rreta NEW YORK, May B.—The tenth anniversary of the sinking of the Lusitania by a German submarine was commemorated Friday at a meeting in Town Hall under the auspices of the Navy and Marine Memorial Association. A horde of events have thundered through the years since May 7, 1915. To the majority of persons the anniversary of the tragedy recalls a hazy remembrance of screaming headlines of partial, then completed lists of 785 men, women and children dead of the 1,257 passengers aboard. < The dull explosion, the confusion that followed, the struggling mass of humans deposited helDJess in the water, has become a part of the life of Charles W. Bowring, one of those who was saved from the disaster. Bitting in his shipping office overlooking the North River, through which the Lusitania sailed for the last time May 1, 1915, Bowring’s hands shoop as he re-read, the letter to hlg wife describing his rescue from the doomed vessel. Sitting at Lunch "We were sitting at lunch at 2:10 when a violent shock occurred. Every one jumped up and started for the deck. There was no pushing nor crowding. "The ship immediately began to list to the starboard. I picked up two life-belts on my way out. There was an enormous crowd on the deck, but there was no jostling. I gave the belts to some women. A boat full of passengers was being lowered. In the rush to get down the stern was lowered too quickly and she swung into the water with the bo-w still in the air, spilling women and children into the water. “I went below for more life preservers and found five. When I again reached the deck the water was already over the deck at the bow of the vessel. She was sinking rapidly. I was on the starboard side and there were but a couple of people there. I gave away two of the belts and strapped one around me and dove into the calm sea. Frohman Is Calm “The ship was sinking and I swam like mad to get clear of the funnels and davits w'hlch nearly carried me under.” Bowring then recounted the struggle 'to find wreckage sufficiently buoyant, of cruising about on a raft for hours, picking up survivors and caring for women and children suffering from the shock and exposure. It was fully four hours, he recalled, before relief came from Queenstown and nearly midnight before port was reached. As to the heroism displayed in the face of deatlf, Bowring told again of Alfred G. Vanderbilt, who gave his life preserver to a woman. Bowring saw him, shortly before the plunge, standing quietly in a passageway. He was drowned and his body never recovered. Charles Frohman, standing with a little group, was heard to say: “Why fear death. It is the most beautiful adventure that life gives." As the ship sank, eighteen minutes after the torpedo struck, there was no outcry, he said, but only “a long, lingering moan.” In his diary, discovered a few years later, Lieut. Capt. Schwieger, commander of the U-20, wrote: “It seems the vessel (the Lusiianial will be afloat only a short time. Submerge to twenty-four meters and go to sea. I could not ha re fired a second torpedo into this throng of humanity attempting to save themselves.”
