Her maid was killed In their cabin by a gunshot. "I was in the dining room of the first-class passengers," Dr. Orell is quoted as saying, "chatting with some of the voyagers, when we heard the report of-a cannon. There was great excitement on deck and men were running here and there. I asked the ship's doctor what-waa happening and . he. replied- that, he didn't know. Then I went on deck myself. MaU Killed In Cabin. "I saw through a slight fog a sub marine about a hundred yards distant. It was squlpped with two cannon, for ward and aft. which were being fired rapidly. I went down to my cabin to get my papers and there found my maid, who pleaded with me to save her. A cannon shot intempted our conversation. A shell entered the vessel through the porthole and killed my maid. I went up to the deck with a life belt. ,' "Boats were being lowered, all com pletely, filled. I sought to get Into one of them and was told there waa no more room. I went to another and received the aama response. I then crossed the deck and saw a launch afloat This contained the chief engineer. Carlo Lembertl; two doctors and other first class passengers, some of tha women and members of the craw. I asked Lmbertl to be -allowed to get In. " 'Come on.' he said, at the same time grasping the side of the steamer to pre vent the small boat from moving off.
