Herts Advertiser & St. Albans Times,
Saturday 4th May 1912:
"Leading Fireman T, Threlfall, one of
the Titanic survivors, who was in boat No. 14, in
the course of a narrative told to a pressman on
landing at Plymouth, said: 'From the
wreckage we picked up four men. Then Mr. Lowe called
out, 'There's a boat sinking over there.' Although
we were then towing a collapsible boat with about
eighty people in her we reached the sinking boat
just as the water was up to her gunwale and took
twenty-six men and one woman, a Mrs. Abbott off her.
I held the woman in my arms till we reached the
Carpathia.' "
