Lowe, the Ti tanic's fifth officer. Lowe dramati cally recited to the committee how lie, not knowing lie was talking to the company's head, told Ismay to "let lo hell out of here, so I can work," while Lowe and other sail ors wore trying to lower the first lifeboat on the starboard side. Lowe declared Ismay was not try ing to get into the boat, but was very much excited and interferred with the proper lowering of the boat., "This man," (Ismay) said Lowe, , "was greatly excited. He was hollering 'lower away, lower away, lower away' and 1 swore at him to order him back.' Lowe said Ismay went back and made no reply. Lowe testified he never would have known the man was Ismay if he (Lowe) had not met a steward aboard the Carpathla who told him What he had done and asked him why he "swore at Ismay."
