British Inquiry Testimony of Samuel Rule 9618. We may take it from you that the crew of No. 15 consisted of seven men? - All in the boat together? 9619. Yes? - There were more than that. 9620. How many seamen were in the boat? - One. 9621. (The Commissioner.) What do you mean by a seaman? Do you mean an A.B.? - I could not swear whether he was an A.B. 9622. (Mr. Scanlan - To the Witness.) When you say there was a seaman in the boat with you, do you mean one of the A.B.�s? - He was a deckhand. 9623. He would be either an A.B or an ordinary seaman? - Yes. The 'deckhand' that Rule mentions is not named, but by the process of elimination, appears to have been Lookout Alfred Evans. According to Evans� family, he stated he was in the �last boat lowered�. No. 15 wasn�t the last boat lowered, but was the last of the aft starboard boats, and did have an unidentified seaman in it, fitting Evans� details. We are not convinced this sailor in #15 is Evans, but he is the most likely candidate. |
