Meanwhile, between 11 A. M. and noon, the fog disappeared, the weather became clear, and the speed was increased to 18 knots. The course of the vessel was S. 87 E. Mag. At 11:25 A. M. Captain Turner received the following message: "Submarines active in southern part of Irish Channel, last heard of twenty miles south of Coningbeg. Light vessel make certain '_Lusitania_' gets this." [Sidenote: Submarines reported by wireless.] At 12:40 P. M. the following additional wireless message from the Admiralty was received: "Submarines five miles south of Cape Clear, proceeding west when sighted at 10 A. M." After picking up Brow Head and at about 12:40 P. M., the course was altered in shore by about 30 degrees, to about N. 63 or 67 E. Mag., Captain Turner did not recall which. Land was sighted which the Captain thought was Galley Head, but he was not sure, and therefore held in shore. This last course was continued for an hour at a speed of 18 knots until 1:40 P. M., when the Old Head of Kinsale was sighted and the course was then changed back to the original course of S. 87 E. Mag. [Sidenote: The _Lusitania_ torpedoed.] At 1:50 P. M. the Captain started to take a four-point bearing on the Old Head of Kinsale, and while thus engaged and at about 2:30 P. M., as heretofore stated, the ship was torpedoed on the starboard side. Whether one, two, or three torpedoes were fired at the vessel cannot be determined with certainty. Two of the ship's crew were confident that a third torpedo was fired and missed the ship. While not doubting the good faith of these witnesses, the evidence is not sufficiently satisfactory to be convincing. [Sidenote: Conflicting testimony.] [Sidenote: Probably two torpedoes.] [Sidenote: No explosives on board.]
