Marion Weekly Star, April 27, 1912:
  "Then someone grabbed me and threw me into the boat I was terribly excited and didn't notice how many boats were left, but as we were being lowered I saw other boats pulling off under us and heard shouts from other boats that seemed a long ways out.
    As we came to the water I heard something whirl over us and strike the water. It was a man. The boat was crowded, there being thirty-five in it and we couldn't turn around to go back. Some were standing up, and as we pushed off the boat listed and took water. It was frightfully cold and all the women in our boat were scantily clothed. Nearly all were women and there were only three sailors.
    Some of the women tried to help the sailors row, but we didn t make much headway... Water kept coming into it until there were several inches on the bottom... A woman fainted and a man began to laugh and sob toward morning. They talked of throwing him out...."

Mrs. Davison is describing leaving in one of the last boats, at which there were men and women shouting and struggling to get in. Frank Dymond, in his Daily Mirror account of boat 15, said "We had a lot of trouble keeping men out of the boat ... Three men fell into the sea, and one foreigner I had to hit as he jumped, and he too fell." Mrs Davison said: "As we came to the water I heard something whirl over us and strike the water. It was a man."

She also stated that water kept coming into the boat and there were several inches in the bottom. Dymond stated that boat 15 took in water when it splashed into the sea and kept on taking water because "she was leaking on one side just above the water level, where she had bumped on the ship's gunwale".

Mrs. Davison said that, rather unusually, the men rowed all night. Dymond said that in boat 15 his crew of mostly thinly-clad firemen "only rowed to keep warm".

And Mrs. Davison mentioned "a man began to laugh and sob toward morning. They talked of throwing him out".   Dymond recalled "There was one 'dago' in the boat who kept crying out "We are lost! We shall all be drowned!" And if I could have reached him I would have brained him with the tiller for he was scaring the women. The rest of the men were quiet."
