The Western Daily Mercury, April 29, 1912:
     "He himself got onto a small raft, but was afterwards taken into a boat. He was half dead with the cold.”

Western Times, April 30, 1912:
    "Fredk. Harris of Gosport said when the last boat had gone and it was realised that the vessel was going to sink, there was wild confusion, and deck chairs and anything that would float were seized by the men as they jumped overboard. He saw the captain jump into the water and swim to a child, which he placed on a raft."

Portsmouth Times, May 4, 1912 and the Gosport and County Journal, May 2, 1912: 
    "Harris, because of this knowledge of work in boats acquired as a Royal Marine, was one selected to take charge of lifeboat 14, the last but one boat to leave the port side of the vessel, and in which there were over sixty women and children.  Subsequently two Chinamen were found to have concealed themselves, and they were lucky due to have been thrown “into the ditch."  ....  After the Titanic disappeared they rowed about the spot, and saw many dead bodies, but succeeded in effecting some rescues.  They also assisted in the rescue of 35 men who clung to an upturned boat .... These 35 men had to be distributed among six other boats which were near by."

These accounts do not agree, and leave us with differing choices.  "The small raft" could indicate Collapsible A, whose people were recovered by #14.  Seeing Captain Smith jump into the water could also indicate A to #14. 

However, after examination of the lengthy Portsmouth account, we all came to the conclusion that Harris definitely left the ship in #14, and was not in Collapsible A.  The account jumps about, but he talks about his boat going back to search for survivors, which only #14 and #4 did. But only #14 picked up people from Collapsible B.  He seems be confusing the rescue of those on B with A, but his details of B are very good.  There is no evidence of 'two Chinamen' in his boat, could this be a confusion with Masabuni Hosono, a Japanese man, who was in #10, which did connect up with #14 shortly before #14 went back?  Or Dawud Vartanian, who may have transferred into #14 from A?

Crew testimonies agree that boat 14 left the ship with at least two firemen, who were obviously taken as oarsmen, one of those firemen could well have been Harris.

We all voted for 14 with varying levels of confidence, and that he did not transfer into or out of any other boat.
