So completely had the passengers and crew feared the coming of the torpedo that there was almost no confusion. From his post Floyd looked down at the black, hissing waters. The ship was listing to starboard, which was the other side from Floyd, and his lifeboat hung down, not over the water, but over the slanting side of the ship. The passengers were loaded into the boat, and the crew started to lower it, but it stopped with a jerk in mid-air, stern down and bow up at an angle of fortyfive degrees. Someone hacked desperately with a hatchet at the lines; the ship dropped, and brought up with a jerk that almost threw some of the people overboard. Then, at last, the boat was lowered with an even keel to the crest of a rising wave. The ropes were cut, and the lifeboat pulled away from the sinking Laconia, which was slowly turning over. For a few minutes it was nightmare bedlam in the frail little craft, as the crew pulled on the oars frantically in their eagerness to put a safe distance between themselves and the ship. They were afraid it would blow up, or if it did not blow up, that the suction of its sinking would sink them, too. But it did not blow up, and it took a long time to sink. The party in the lifeboat heard a dull thud as the German submarine sent another torpedo after the first. Then it tilted at the stern; its nose rose up against the gray of the sky; it sank silently out of sight. ALL night long the lifeboat drifted. ** From across the darkness came the ■sounds from other lifeboats, lost in the immensity of the ocean. Now and then they sent up flares, hoping to attract the attention of a passing liner, and at last, toward dawn, they did see a glow of light coming from below the horizon. Slowly it grew brighter; the red and green riding lights of a ship appeared. It was H. M. S. Laburnum, an English ship. Dawn was melting the darkness when she finished picking up the survivors of the Laconia. But there were thirteen passengers and members of the crew of the Laconia which the Laburnum did not pick up. They had perished, lost at sea. The Laburnum steamed into Queenstown harbor, and a few minutes later Floyd Gibbons sat at a typewriter, composing a four thousand word story for his newspaper, the Chicago Tribune. He still believes it was the greatest piece of reporting he ever did, fresh as he was from the horror of that night in an open boat, with the stories of the other survivors still ringing in his ears. It was probably also the most important piece of reporting he ever did, for the sinking of the Laconia was the first of a series of "overt acts" on the part of Germany which brought America into the war, and — whether for good or ill — Floyd's account of it helped to inflame America's anger against Germany. The Word War has been described many times. I don't want to describe it again. The important thing is to tell you what it meant to Floyd Gibbons.
