Continued coaling and discharging cargo. The disembarkation of troops and cargo was completed in short order and the _Leviathan_ put to sea once more on the 12th of September. The bodies of thirty-six victims of the _Mt. Vernon_ were on board, each body being draped with the flag which they had heroically died for. These thirty-six victims were trapped in the fire-room of the _Mt. Vernon_ when the torpedo struck her and they had no chance to escape before the water filled the lower compartments. The loss of life would not have been so great had not the ship been torpedoed at a time when the fire-room watches were being relieved, for at such time there are almost double the number of men in the fire-rooms. Our voyage back was interrupted but once. The _Great Northern_ on our starboard, on the 13th of September, reported a periscope two miles astern of us and traveling to the southward. It disappeared almost as quickly as the periscope encountered on the eastern trip, and consequently no shots were fired at it. A vigilant watch maintained by the lookouts was without result, the submarine did not show itself again. On the 19th of September we were safe in New York Harbor and docked six minutes after the first line was ashore, a record achievement in the log of the capable and efficient docking superintendent, Capt. Walter J. Bernard. _Ninth Overseas Trip_ We left our pier at Hoboken, September 29th and our ninth voyage overseas was underway.
