BASED ON MISAPPREHENSION.
It is not to be expected that the
investigation of the circumstances of
the loss of the Lusitania which has
been ordered by the British Board of
Trade will reveal any negligence on
the part of the ship’s officers or lack
of discipline among the crew. Indeed,
discipline seems to have been main
tained until the vessel sank. The
statements of a few passengers of
their experience in the brief period
of intense excitement after the sec
ond torpedo struck the hull have no
great weight as testimony. For in
stance, it has been charged that the
crew were ordered not to lower the
boats, but Captain Turner has ex
plained that, although the engines
were disabled by the first torpedo,!
the Lusitania was still moving rapid- ]
ly, and it is obviously impossible to ]
lower boats from a moving ship. Af
ter the vessel had listed, one side of
it was far out of the water, so that
boats on that side could not be used,
while too little time remained before
the culmination of the disaster for
lowering all on the other side. There
seems to be ample testimony now that
Captain Turner made no mistakes.
He followed the course specified by
the British Admiralty, from whom
he received two messages while near
ing the Irish coast, to which he re
plied. The ship was proceeding at
the speed usually maintained in those
waters.
Criticism of the British Admiralty
for not providing an armored convoy
is seen now to have been founded
on misapprehension. In the House
of Commons the First Lord of the
Admiralty said that ‘he resources of
the British navy did not enable the
Admiralty “*o provide destroyer es
corts for mail and passenger ships.1’
The fact has been overlooked, also,
that in war the status of a convoyed
merchant vessel is precisely that of
a warship, and that to provide a con
voy of destroyers would be to invite
submarine attack. The war vessels
have been guarding the transport of
troops to various foreign ports. Al
though a large part of the navy is
still in home waters, where it may be
busily employed before long, many
British warships are in the Darda
nelles or off the coast of Africa, while
we all know that some are watching
our coasts for German vessels detain
ed here that might otherwise try to
escape. The defense of the Admiral
ty, therefore, is sufficient, in spite
of the widespread belief here, while
the Lusitania was making her last
voyage, that, she would be convoyed
into port.
When there is time to discuss de
tails of a. calamity, which has given
rise to problems of graver import than
the management of ships at sea, the
question of lifeboats for ocean liners,
so hotly discussed after the loss of
the Titanic, will be brought up again
with new facts for argument. It will
be found, probably, that the compar
atively few boats out of the Lusitan
ia’s ample supply which could be
launched were not as useful as they
were expected to be and that the work
of lowering them was too difficult to
be quickly accomplished. The few
light collapsible boats, on the other
hand, were very serviceable.—Ex.
