By
this
time
the
women
and
children
had
all
been
mustered
on
the
second
or
A
deck
;
the
men
were
supposed
to
remain
up
on
the
boat
deck
while
the
boats
were
being
lowered
to
the
level
of
the
women
,
where
sections
of
the
rail
had
been
cleared
away
for
them
to
embark
more
easily
;
but
this
rule
,
like
all
the
other
rules
,
was
not
rigidly
observed
.
The
crew
was
not
trained
enough
to
discipline
and
coerce
the
passengers
.
How
could
they
be
?
They
were
trained
to
serve
them
,
to
be
obsequious
and
obliging
;
it
would
have
been
too
much
to
expect
that
they
should
suddenly
take
command
and
order
them
about
.
There
were
many
minor
adventures
and
even
accidents
.
One
woman
had
both
her
legs
broken
in
getting
into
the
boat
.
The
mere
business
of
being
lowered
in
a
boat
through
seventy
feet
of
darkness
was
in
itself
productive
of
more
than
one
exciting
incident
.
The
falls
of
the
first
boat
jammed
when
she
was
four
feet
from
the
water
,
and
she
had
to
be
dropped
into
it
with
a
splash
.
And
there
was
one
very
curious
incident
which
happened
to
the
boat
in
which
Mr.
Beezley
,
the
English
schoolmaster
already
referred
to
,
had
been
allotted
a
place
as
a
helper
.
"
As
the
boat
began
to
descend
,
"
he
said
,
"
two
ladies
were
pushed
hurriedly
through
the
crowd
on
B
deck
,
and
a
baby
ten
months
old
was
passed
down
after
them
.
Then
down
we
went
,
the
crew
shouting
out
directions
to
those
lowering
us
.
'
Level
,
'
'
Aft
,
'
'
Stern
,
'
'
Both
together
!
'
until
we
were
some
ten
feet
from
the
water
.
Here
occurred
the
only
anxious
moment
we
had
during
the
whole
of
our
experience
from
the
time
of
our
leaving
the
deck
to
our
reaching
the
Carpathia
.
"
Immediately
below
our
boat
was
the
exhaust
of
the
condensers
,
and
a
huge
stream
of
water
was
pouring
all
the
time
from
the
ship
's
side
just
above
the
water-line
.
It
was
plain
that
we
ought
to
be
smart
away
from
it
if
we
were
to
escape
swamping
when
we
touched
the
water
.
We
had
no
officers
on
board
,
and
no
petty
officer
or
member
of
the
crew
to
take
charge
,
so
one
of
the
stokers
shouted
,
'S
ome
one
find
the
pin
which
releases
the
boat
from
the
ropes
and
pull
it
up
!
'
No
one
knew
where
it
was
.
We
felt
as
well
as
we
could
on
the
floor
,
and
along
the
sides
,
but
found
nothing
.
It
was
difficult
to
move
among
so
many
people
.
We
had
sixty
or
seventy
on
board
.
Down
we
went
,
and
presently
we
floated
with
our
ropes
still
holding
us
,
and
the
stream
of
water
from
the
exhaust
washing
us
away
from
the
side
of
the
vessel
,
while
the
swell
of
the
sea
urged
us
back
against
the
side
again
.
"
The
result
of
all
these
forces
was
that
we
were
carried
parallel
to
the
ship
's
side
,
and
directly
under
boat
N
,
which
had
filled
rapidly
with
men
,
and
was
coming
down
on
us
in
a
way
that
threatened
to
submerge
our
boat
.
"'
Stop
lowering
14
,
'
our
crew
shouted
,
and
the
crew
of
N
,
now
only
20
feet
above
,
cried
out
the
same
.
The
distance
to
the
top
,
however
,
was
some
70
feet
,
and
the
creaking
of
the
pulleys
must
have
deadened
all
sound
to
those
above
,
for
down
she
came
,
15
feet
,
10
feet
,
5
feet
,
and
a
stoker
and
I
reached
up
and
touched
the
bottom
of
the
swinging
boat
above
our
heads
.
The
next
drop
would
have
brought
her
on
our
heads
.
Just
before
she
dropped
another
stoker
sprang
to
the
ropes
with
his
knife
open
in
his
hand
.
'
One
,
'
I
heard
him
say
,
and
then
'
Two
,
'
as
the
knife
cut
through
the
pulley
rope
.
"'
The
next
moment
the
exhaust
stream
carried
us
clear
,
while
boat
N
dropped
into
the
water
,
taking
the
space
we
had
occupied
a
moment
before
.
Our
gunwales
were
almost
touching
.
We
drifted
away
easily
,
and
when
our
oars
were
got
out
,
we
headed
directly
away
from
the
ship
.
"'
But
although
there
was
no
sense
of
danger
,
there
were
some
painful
partings
on
the
deck
where
the
women
were
embarked
;
for
you
must
think
of
this
scene
as
going
on
for
at
least
an
hour
amid
a
confusion
of
people
pressing
about
,
trying
to
find
their
friends
,
asking
for
information
,
listening
to
some
new
rumour
,
trying
to
decide
whether
they
should
or
should
not
go
in
the
boats
,
to
a
constant
accompaniment
of
shouted
orders
,
the
roar
of
escaping
steam
,
the
squeal
and
whine
of
the
ropes
and
pulleys
,
and
the
gay
music
of
the
band
,
which
Captain
Smith
had
ordered
to
play
during
the
embarkation
.
Every
now
and
then
a
woman
would
be
forced
away
from
her
husband
;
every
now
and
then
a
husband
,
having
got
into
a
boat
with
his
wife
,
would
be
made
to
get
out
of
it
again
.
If
it
was
hard
for
the
wives
to
go
,
it
was
harder
for
the
husbands
to
see
them
go
to
such
certain
discomfort
and
in
such
strange
company
.
Colonel
Astor
,
whose
young
wife
was
in
a
delicate
state
of
health
,
had
got
into
the
boat
with
her
to
look
after
her
;
and
no
wonder
.
But
he
was
ordered
out
again
and
came
at
once
,
no
doubt
feeling
bitterly
,
poor
soul
,
that
he
would
have
given
many
of
his
millions
to
be
able
to
go
honourably
with
her
But
he
stepped
back
without
a
word
of
remonstrance
and
gave
her
good-bye
with
a
cheery
message
,
promising
to
meet
her
in
New
York
.
And
if
that
happened
to
him
,
we
may
be
sure
it
was
happening
over
and
over
again
in
other
boats
.
There
were
women
who
flatly
refused
to
leave
their
husbands
and
chose
to
stay
with
them
and
risk
whatever
fate
might
be
in
store
for
them
,
although
at
that
time
most
of
the
people
did
not
really
believe
that
there
was
much
danger
.
Yet
here
and
there
there
were
incidents
both
touching
and
heroic
.
When
it
came
to
the
turn
of
Mrs.
Isidore
Straus
,
the
wife
of
a
Jewish
millionaire
,
she
took
her
seat
but
got
back
out
of
the
boat
when
she
found
her
husband
was
not
coming
.
They
were
both
old
people
,
and
on
two
separate
occasions
an
Englishman
who
knew
her
tried
to
persuade
her
to
get
into
a
boat
,
but
she
would
not
leave
her
husband
.
The
second
time
the
boat
was
not
full
and
he
went
to
Mr.
Straus
and
said
:
"
Do
go
with
your
wife
.
Nobody
can
object
to
an
old
gentleman
like
you
going
.
There
is
plenty
of
room
in
the
boat
.
"
The
old
gentleman
thanked
him
calmly
and
said
:
"
I
wo
n't
go
before
the
other
men
.
"
And
Mrs.
Straus
got
out
and
,
going
up
to
him
,
said
:
"
We
have
been
together
for
forty
years
and
we
will
not
separate
now
.
"
And
she
remained
by
his
side
until
that
happened
to
them
which
happened
to
the
rest
.
We
must
now
go
back
to
the
Marconi
room
on
the
upper
deck
where
,
ten
minutes
after
the
collision
,
Captain
Smith
had
left
the
operators
with
orders
to
send
out
a
call
for
assistance
.
From
this
Marconi
room
we
get
a
strange
but
vivid
aspect
of
the
situation
;
for
Bride
,
the
surviving
operator
,
who
afterwards
told
the
story
so
graphically
to
the
New
York
Times
,
practically
never
left
the
room
until
he
left
it
to
jump
into
the
sea
,
and
his
knowledge
of
what
was
going
on
was
the
vivid
,
partial
knowledge
of
a
man
who
was
closely
occupied
with
his
own
duties
and
only
knew
of
other
happenings
in
so
far
as
they
affected
his
own
doings
.
They
had
been
working
,
you
will
remember
,
almost
all
of
that
Sunday
at
locating
and
replacing
a
burnt-out
terminal
,
and
were
both
very
tired
.
Phillips
was
taking
the
night
shift
of
duty
,
but
he
told
Bride
to
go
to
bed
early
and
get
up
and
relieve
him
as
soon
as
he
had
had
a
little
sleep
,
as
Phillips
himself
was
quite
worn
out
with
his
day
's
work
.
Bride
went
to
sleep
in
the
cabin
which
opened
into
the
operating-room
.
