- —< EXPLOITS IN LT7SITANIA AND SIAURETANIA. Commander D. Dow, who saved the Lusitania from capture by a German warship and the Qliauretania from being torpwloed, recently retired from the Cunard. service after -13 years in tho Mercantile Marino nnd tho Navy. Cqmniander Dow sailed from New Tork in charge of the Lusitania at midnight on August i, 1914, ami next day, by heading into a fog bank nnd changing 'course, eluded an enemy warship which tried to 'intercept him. While commanding the Slfturetanin. as a troopship in the SleSite.vranean in 11)15 ho saw tho walco of a torpedo and flung tho helni hard «' starton rd. The torpedo missed the ship by barely five feet. , In January, 1915. Commander Dow's action in hoisting the "Stars and Stripes" in tho Lusitania provoked much controversy. Ho hod been officially warned of the presence of submarines and 'instructed to hoist a neutral flag in the dan<rv zone. Nothing could have been more distasteful than the latter instruction, but he realised that hU feelings must be subordinated to (he safety of his passenger?, and having W:I prominent Americans on board, beside, valuable U.S. mail, lie hoisted their flag. Commander Dow was on sick leave when the loss of the Lusitania was announced.
