Answer to Question No. 19. I was not conscious of any
warning signal. If there was any warning signal, I did
not hear it. By my watch, which I compared with
Carlo Lamberti, the chief machinist, the ship was torpedoed
about 1.30 p. m. or thereabouts.
Answer to Question No. 20. She did not.
Answer to Question No. 21. The submarine remained
in the neighborhood of the lifeboats ten or fifteen minutes
after the Ancona had gone down, but made no effort to
save anyone and passed into the horizon without rendering
assistance to the lifeboats.
Answer to Question No. 22. I think there was no
deliberate effort or intent to sink the lifeboats.

flag.

vessel was fired on while passengers were being taken
off.
Answer to Question No. 26. The firing continued
approximately for about twenty minutes; then at rarer
intervals. No time was given, as far as I know, for
disembarkation.
Answer to Question No. 27. I saw one boat lowered
after the torpedoing of the Ancona.
Answer to Question No. 28. There were none.
Answer to Question No. 29. At no time after I saw or
heard the first knowledge or rumor of something wrong
on the Ancona did I see an officer or hear a command
given that would help passengers to disembark or take
life belts. After this Dr. Giordini and Dr. Carbone,
who were in the dining room with me at the time and to
whom I appealed in Italian to ask what was wrong,
responded "Qui lo sai" and left the dining room.
