Then I said to Steffanson, “Let us go down on to A Deck.” And we went down again, but there was nobody there. I looked on both sides of the deck and saw no people. It was absolutely deserted, and the electric lights along the ceiling of A Deck were beginning to turn red, just a glow, a red sort of glow. So I said to Steffanson, “This is getting to be rather a tight corner; let us go out through the door at the end.” And as we went out _the sea came in onto the deck at our feet_. Then we hopped up onto the gunwale, preparing to jump into the sea, because if we had waited a minute longer we should have been boxed in against the ceiling. And as we looked out we saw this collapsible boat, the last boat on the port side, being lowered right in front of our faces. Senator Smith: How far out? Mr. Woolner: It was about nine feet out. Senator Smith: Nine feet away from the side of A Deck? Mr. Woolner: Yes. Senator Smith: You saw a collapsible boat being lowered? Mr. Woolner: Being lowered; yes. Senator Smith: Was it filled with people? Mr. Woolner: It was full up to the bow, and I said to Steffanson, “There is nobody in the bows. Let us make a jump for it. You go first.” And he jumped out and tumbled in head over heels into the boat, and I jumped too and hit the gunwale with my chest, which had on the life-preserver, of course, and I sort of tumbled off the gunwale and caught the gunwale with my fingers and slipped off backwards. Senator Smith: Into the water? Mr. Woolner: As my legs dropped down I felt that they were in the sea. Senator Smith: You are quite sure you jumped nine feet to get that boat? Mr. Woolner: That is my estimate. By that time you see we were jumping slightly downward. Senator Smith: Did you jump out or down? Mr. Woolner: Both. Senator Smith: Both out and down? Mr. Woolner: Slightly down and out. Senator Smith: It could not have been very far down if the water was on A Deck; it must have been out. Mr. Woolner: Chiefly out; but it was sufficiently down for us to see just over the edge of the gunwale of the boat. Senator Smith: You pulled yourself up out of the water? Mr. Woolner: Yes; and then I hooked my right heel over the gunwale, and by this time Steffanson was standing up and he caught hold of me and lifted me in. One lady (Mrs. Harris) had a broken elbow bone. She was in a white woollen jacket. At dawn Officer Lowe transferred five or six from his boat No. 14 to ours, which brought us down very close to the water. At daylight we saw a great many icebergs of different colors, as the sun struck them. Some looked white, some looked blue, some looked mauve and others were dark gray. There was one double-toothed one that looked to be of good size; it must have been about one hundred feet high.
