Mr. NICHOLAS NAFTEL ALLES,
Saloon Class Passenger
[No Picture Provided]
Nicholas Naftel Alles, 50, was an auditor for the Hotel St. Regis
Company. Although he lived in New York and had American citizenship,
he had an estate in England. He was on the Lusitania to hurry
to the side of his dying mother. He paid $149.50 for his cabin B-31.
When the ship was torpedoed, Alles was standing by the verandah café.
He went down to his cabin to get a lifebelt. Then he went back
on top and climbed to the funnel deck. At the time he thought that
where he was was the safest spot on the Lusitania. He was washed
off when the ship sank. Alles swam to an upturned boat and was rescued
by the "Greek" Katrina, the British SS Westborough in disguise.
