Steamer Tuscania Torpedoed. Survivors Land in Ireland
The steamer Tuscania was torpedoed on Tuesday with six hundred survivors landing at Larne, Ireland and thirty at Islay. British authorities rush hospital aid and furnish clothing. US correspondent W P Sims says the ship may still be afloat while officials note low casualties due to a torpedo drill. The 20th Engineers, from the Pacific coast, were formed largely from logging and mill workers under Colonel William A Mitchell at Camp Lewis.
