Lusitania Halts As War Game Fires Near New York
The Cunard liner Lusitania paused its sea run to Europe as two fort batteries at Fort Wadsworth and Fort Hamilton fired during a war game. Shells crossed in the Narrows while Captain Watt steered the ship past a vortex of incoming fire. After a twenty minute pause the Lusitania resumed course though officers said the vessel was never in danger. A suicide note found on deck belonged to a teen, but detectives later traced no jump from the ship. Charles M. Daniels, the swimmer, prepared to leave for London to compete in Olympic events aboard the Lusitania.
