I was in charge of that boat. That was my own boat, there being two sailors with me. One was named McGough, and there was one by the name of Peters. That was my boat's crew. As soon as the crew is known they make out the list and put it up in the crew's quarters.
Every man has a lifeboat station.
They were told off in the different boats. We saw the ship go down by the head. I had a boat load, sir, and I asked the men if they thought it advisable to go back. They said there was no more room, sir, and the boat was overloaded. I thought would be dangerous.
