When the Tuscanin was struck:
by the German torpedo, the Ameri-,
can soldiers went calmly to their
posts. As they lined up on one'
side. of the deck, with the crew, all
Britishers, on the other, the na-
ima allies were slung. The lack of
nic facilitated the work of the
destroyers, who braved
'danger by coming up to the side
of the sinking liner and the taking
off the soldiers. The Tuscania re-
trained afloat two hours. due pro-
bably to the.action of the second
engineer, who stopped the engines
