Then Senator Smith asked the circumstances under which he left the boat. “The boat was being filled,” began Mr. Ismay. “The officers called out to know if there were any more women to go. There were none. No passengers were on the deck. So as the boat was being lowered I got into it.” “The ship was sinking?” asked Senator Smith. “The boat was sinking,” almost whispered Mr. Ismay. “Was there any attempt to lower the boats of the Carpathia to take on passengers after you went aboard her?” asked Senator Smith. “There were no passengers there to take on,” said Mr. Ismay. He said he saw no liferafts in the sea. “How many lifeboats were there on the Titanic?” “Twenty altogether, I think,” said Mr. Ismay, “sixteen collapsible and four wooden boats.” Whether the boats were taken on board the Carpathia or not he did not know. “It has been suggested,” Senator Smith continued, “that two of the lifeboats sank as soon as lowered. Do you know anything about that?” “I do not. I never heard of it, and I think all the lifeboats were accounted for.” NO INDICATIONS OF TITANIC’S BREAKING. “When you last saw her were there indications that the Titanic had broken in two?” “No, there was no such indication.” “How long after you left her was it that you looked back for the last time?” “It may have been ten minutes or a half hour. I am not sure. Impossible for me to tell.” “Was there confusion apparent on the Titanic when you looked back?” “I didn’t see any. All I saw was the green light the last time I looked.” “After you left Captain Smith on the bridge did you see him again?” “I did not.” “Did you have any message from him?” “None.” “How many wireless operators were there on the Titanic?” “I presume there were two. One is always on watch.” “Did they survive?” “I have been told one did, but I do not know whether it is true or not.” Mr. Ismay was asked what he had on when he got into the lifeboat. “A pair of slippers, a pair of pajamas, a suit of clothes and an overcoat.” Captain Rostrom, of the Carpathia, followed Mr. Ismay. He told Mr. Smith that he had been captain of the Carpathia since last January, but that he had been a seaman twenty-seven years. The captain told in detail of the arrangements made to prepare the lifeboats and the ship for the receipt of the survivors. Arriving at the zone of the accident, Captain Rostrom testified, he saw an iceberg straight ahead of him and, stopping at 4 A. M., ten minutes later he picked up the first lifeboat. The officer sang out he had only one seaman on board and was having difficulty in manning his boat. ICEBERGS ON EVERY SIDE. “By the time I got the boat aboard day was breaking,” said the captain. “In a radius of four miles I saw all the other lifeboats. On all sides of us were icebergs; some twenty, some were 150 to 200 feet high, and numerous small icebergs or ‘growlers.’ Wreckage was strewn about us. At 8.30 all the Titanic’s survivors were aboard.”
