British Inquiry Testimony of Edward Brown 10560. After you had been in the water for some time did you see a black object? - Yes, I saw a black object. 10566. Did that black object prove to be a collapsible boat? - Yes. 10567. I think it was half submerged, was it not? - Yes, submerged with the weight of men on it. 10568. How many people were there on it? - I should say there were 16 or 17 on it. 10569. You used the expression “with the weight of men on it.” Were they men or were they some women? - They were all men then, Sir. The women we had on it were picked up after I got aboard of it. 10570. Did you get on to that collapsible boat? - I did. 10571. Did you remain on it? - I remained on it. 10578. I believe next day, to go on a little further, you first of all were picked up by No. 14 boat? - Yes. 10579. And taken to the “Carpathia,” were you not? - Yes. All of the people on Collapsible A (the overturned collapsible) were taken onto lifeboat 14. |
