Not illustrated. 1915 edition. Excerpt: ... THE LUSITANIA'S LAST VOYAGE PART I 6, New Oxford Street, London, W. C, DEGREES May 12, 1915 Oub voyage from New York had been uneventful and in fact it was quite a "Lauriat Crossing"; fine weather, smooth sea, and after the first few hours of Sunday (May 2) there had been no fog up to Friday morning (May 7), when it came in for a short time. The speed of the boat had not been what I had expected it would be, for after the first full run of 24 hours, in which we covered 501 miles, the run dropped each day to well below the 500 mark, and the last 24 hours up to Friday noon (May 7) we made only 462 miles.

It was the only pool I went into and I couldn't help it, for the number sold at 3.0.0 and at that price it looked like a "bargain."

I was keenly interested in all that was done aboard ship as we approached the Irish Coast, and in fact all through the voyage I kept my eyes unusually wide open. At night the shades in the saloon were closely drawn, and I noticed that my bedroom steward left a note for the night watchman stating just which ports were open when he...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
