LOWERING THE LIFEBOATS FROM A TORPEDOED ELLERMAN LINER. The City of Birmingham, after being torpedoed without warning in the Mediterranean. The boat sank in forty minutes. It was a grand but awful sight to see the bows in a perpendicular position take a terrific plunge and disappear. All the time one could see the periscope of the submarine “nosing” round at a terrific pace. As soon as the boat sank she made off.
