fire port boiler. Water overlooked
plates Of the stoke hole. Monday
morning about 10 o'clock with the
ship listing badly to starboard, l
was ordered to go to the starboard
alley to bail water. All firemen and
sailors were ordered to do so. 1t
was quite impossible to bail any
water however.
After coming back on deck chief
officer ordered all firemen below,
Ga keen steam and pump the bilees
and radio. l worked on the port
boiler which was a difficult job. The
angle at which tho ship lay was so
sharp that we had to chain each
other to the holes SO that we could
get coal to put into the fire. l was
working with Ollivere. I passed him
coal, then had to hold him along
With the chain so that he could pitch
it into the fire.
Ordered Below.
We all stayed down there until
about II o'clock Monday morning,
then, seeing conditions were so bad,
we determined to leave. After GO
ing on deck we were called to throw
away cargo for about a half hour,
and then we were ordered back to
the stoke hole. After going back
down to the stoke hole it was quite
impossible to work. All the boys
left.
When came up from out of the
stoke hole, it was about II o'clock.
Going forward, looking for a life
belt. After getting it, Ollivere ask
ed me if was going to leave this
way, if was not going to put on
my clothes, because the boys on
deck were expecting a ship at any
moment.
Get Belowr'
After getting life belt the chief
mate said: "All the firemen must
go back down, and see what you
can do down there" The boys know
ing that the conditions were bad
down below, they were stiff about
going down below. The engineer
came down to "mule" the boys,
treat them roughly.)
After getting as far as the after
companion, the third engineer, see
ing the whole gang going that way,
he asked us where we were going
and we told him that we were or
dered back in the stoke hole, and he
told us it was no use going down
because we could not do anything.
Then we had to turn back after he
said so and the boys started to look
for the boats.
All this time sailors were work
ing pretty hard trying to get port
side boats over. Owing to the list
that the ship had, it was quite diff
ficult. At 1890 boats got down as
far as two feet below the promen-
ade deck. All this time I had not
eaten anything since Saturday 5 p.
m. l then went and stood by my
boat, No. q. Ishad to wait until the
women and children were in first.
After that the eighth engineer and l
went in, awaiting orders.
