GERMAN SAILOR ONi
LUTZOW DESCRIBES!
JUTLAND BATTLEi
THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS, Aug.'
Ist. —Scenes on board the German flag-[
ship Lutzow during the Jutland naval
battle when some of the newest and
largest of the German battle cruisers
were battered or sunk by Admiral
Beatty’s British squadron in June, 1916, j
are vividly described by P. Krug, one
of the Lutzow’s survivors in a pamph
let which has just been published here.
I is believed to be the first detailed
[ scry of that, great battle from the point
of view of the German sailer to reach
the public eye.
i Torpedoed by a British warship early
' i. the engagement the Lutzow, which ,
was the flagship of Admiral Hipper,
was hammered unmercifully by the big j
guns of the British vessels, and soon
become a complete wreck, a ‘‘ship of
the dead,” as Krug describes her.
According to his story twenty-seven
German sailors were trapped in the
Diesel dynamo room before the battle
had been long in progress and remain-,
e l there when the Lutzow, a disabled
hulk was abandoned and sent to the j
bottom by a torpedo from a German [
destroyer. Two of these imprisoned
men had been driven insane and were
kept tied by their shipmates.
After describing the first part of the
battle and telling how the arrival of.
British battleships turned the tables
on the Germans, Krug writes:
‘‘Suddenly the entire ship is roughly,
shaken. The colossus heaves far over,'
and everything that is not fixed is up-j
set. The first direct hit. The torpedo 1
pierces the fore part of the ship. Its
effects are terrible. Iron wood, wood, ■
metal, parts of bodies, smashed ship’s
implements are all intermixed and
the electric light, by chance spared,
continues to shine upon this sight.
“Two decks lower, in the Diesel dy
* name room, there is still life. That
compartment has not been hit, and 27
men in the prime of life have been
spared, but the chamber is shut off
from all others, for the water is rush
ing into all sections. They are doom
ed to death. Several 38-centimeter
shells squarely hit their mark, work
ing terrible havoc. The first hit the
wireless department. Os the twelve
living men who a moment ago were
seated before the apparatus, there is
nothing more to be seen. Nothing is
left but a smoking heap of ruins. The
second shot again pierced the fore part
of the ship. The entire fore part of
the vessel, as far as the Diesel motor
room was past saving. Another
broadside meant for the Lutzow fell
short, but a torpedo-boat close by dis
appeared, leaving only a few odd
pieces of wood and a smashed lifeboat
drifting round. It is now half past
seven, and the hostile circle grows ev
er smaller. The Lutzow and the Sey
dlitz lie with their bows deep in the
water; both are badly mauled. The
sere part of the Lutzow was in flames.
Shells burst against the ship’s side in
rapid succession. A terrible sight is
presented on board the I.utlow, and it
needs iron nerves to look upon it coolly.
Hundreds have lost their lives, while
many have lain for hours in torture,
and the fight is not yet over. The bow
is now crushed in and is entirely sub
merged. The four screws are already
sticking half out of the water, so that
' the Lutzow can only make 8 to 10
knots an hour, as against the normal
I 32.”
| “The Admiral decides to transfer to
i the Moltke. He gives orders to turn
I and get away from the scene of the
I fiiht but the Lutzow has not gone a
j mile before she receives a broadsidee
i o” 38-centimeter shells. The entire
I ship was filled with the poisonous
[ fumes of the shells, and anyone who
' failed to affix his gas mask was doom
i ed to be suffocated.
i “It was three-quarters of an hour
I before the lighting installation was
restored. Then for the first could the
extent of the damage wrought by the
“ salvo be seen. One of the shells had
| landed in the sick bay. Here there
. were three doctors and fifteen atten
i dants besides 160 to 180 wounded. Os
i ail these only four remained alive.
I These four were hurled into the next
[ partment by the air pressure; there.
1 they lay unconscious.

» the lookout man and the three offi
cers on the commander’s bridge given
Isi ns of life, the Lutzow would have
? tiuly resembled a ship of the deed.
| Belew, on the battery deck and in the
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORD EIL
[cial bunkers* there still lay innum- ~
'erable wounded.
| “Night came on and hope was enter
tained of getting away without a fur
i ther encounter. But at 3 o’clock in
the night news of the approach of two
■ British cruisers and five destroyers
was received, and just at that critical
time the fore and middle bulkheads
'gave way.
“Orders were given to quickly carry
the wounded to the stern. Then the
order rings out: ‘All hands muster in
I division order abaft.’ A tumult arises
on the lower deck for everybody is
now bent on saving his life. It is im
i possible in that short space of time
to bring up all the wounded, for they
scattered everywhere. Eighteen
' men had the good fortune to be car
ried up, but all the rest who could not.
walk or crawl had to be left behind.
“The 27 men shut up in the Diesel
dynamo chamber had heard the order
through the speaking-tube, for many,
;mad with anguish, screamed through
the tube for help, and it was learned
that two of their number lay bound
because they had become insane. In
spired by their sense of duty, these
1 sealed-up men continued to carry on
' their work in order to provide the
ship with light.
“The torpedo-boats now quickly took
off the crew of the Lutzow, and those
left behind were doomed to death. It
was resolved that no piece of the ves
' sei should fall into the enemy’s hands.
An order was given and a torpedo cleft
'the waters. Just then seven men were
I seen to be running like madmen
■ ’round the rear-deck. Over-fatigued as
they were, they had apparently drop,
i ped off to sleep and only just awaken
-1 ed. As the torpedo exploded, the Lut
, zow's bow quickly dipped, and the
[ stern rose until she stood on end.
j Then she heeled over and sank form
, ing a great whirlpool that carried ev
erythin? within it into the depths.
i! “When the roll was called it appear
ed that there were 1,003 survivors of
J the Lutzow; 597 meh had perished in
i 1 the battle.”
