| "While we were rowing away from the steamer, her lights still burning brightly, with the iceberg as a background, the scene was remarkable and fascinating. The steamer slowly sank, bow first. The water was covered with small boats and rafts. "The Titanic sank until the forward half was submerged and then there was a loud crash. The lights went out. Others who left the boat after we did, say she broke in two. "After the boat had sunk we began to search for food. There was nothing to eat in the lifeboats. We could not even find fresh water. Fortunately one of the gentlemen had some stimulants with him, which was given to the women." |
