Capt. Turner, commander of thc Lusitania so far has refused to make any formal statement. He remarked with quiet irony on landing: "Well It is the fortune of war." He secluded himself in apartments over the town bank last night, but was able to be about in uniform to day. The Lusitania was steaming along about 10 miles off Old Head Kinsalc on the last leg of her voyage tc LIverpool when about 2 o'clock in the afternoon a submarine suddenly appeared and so far as all reports go fired two torpedoes without warning at the steamer. One struck her near the bow and the other in the enginc rooni. The powerful agents of destrttior tore through the vessel's side, caus ing terrifle explosions. Almost ii mediately great volutmes of watei poured through the openings and thc Iusitania listed. Boats which were already swung out on the davits were droppe,(d over board and were speedily filled witi passengers who had been appalled by the despeite attack. A wireless call for help was sent out, and itn nediately rescue boats of all kindb were senti both fro:n the neigh borinu poinits along the (oaiit aId Queens town.
