To all those who lead monotonous lives in the hope they may experience at second-hand the delights and dangers of adventure. —Told by the bestselling book writer of all time
It was 2 p.m. on the afternoon of May 7, 1915. The Lusitania had been struck by two torpedoes in succession and was sinking rapidly, while life-saving boats were being launched with all possible speed. The women and children were being lined up awaiting their turn. Some still clung desperately to husbands and fathers; others clutched their children closely to their breasts. One girl stood alone, slightly apart from the rest. She was quite young, not more than eighteen. She did not seem afraid.
The Lusitania settled with a more decided list to starboard. In answer to a quick command, the girl went forward to take her place on an escaping rescue boat.
