"We had left the saloon and retired in our stateroom, but none of us were asleep, when we were thrown to the floor of the state room. Tutting on the few clothes we could find, we made our way on deck. The steamer was slowly sinking. "The lifeboats were lowered. My wife and two women entered one of the first boats. Twelve including myself, were standing near. As there were no other women passengers waiting to get into the boats at that time, we were asked to accompany the women. W hile we got into the boats for safety's sake, all of us thought we would be able to re turn to the Titanic. The sea was calm. We were rowed by four menvbers of the crew about 300 yards -from the steamer. "The steamer's lights were still burning brightly, and the picture. J with the iceberg a a background, was most beautiful. The steam er slcy.vly sank, the bow sinking fifsf.'The wafer was covered, with small boats and rafts. Theiead of the boat sank first. Then there was a loud crash. The lights went out. Other people who left the boat later, say that she broke in two. No Food or Lights on Boat "After the boat had sunk, we began to search for food or other provisions. There was nothing edible on the lifeboats. We could not even find fresh water. For tunately one man had some stim ulants with him, which were giv en to the women. After drifting around for what seemed weeks, the Carpathia was sighted corn ing toward us. We had matches or lanterns, and were not put aboard the rescuing ship un til daylight. "As soon as all the passengers had been taken aboard we were told we were going to New York. At 9 o'clock on Monday morning I sent a wireless to my brother-in-law. (The wireless message sent by Mr, Frolicher-Stehli was receiv ed thirty minutes before the Car pathia docked.) "The order tnantained on the Titanic was what 1 would ' call remarkable": There was very lit tle pushing and it was in most cases the women Vho caused the, commotion by insisting that their husbands accompany them in the lifeboats. The men were very or derly. It was not until we had left the ship that many of the women showed fright. From thereon the air was filled with cries and the shrieking of wom en."
