On Board RMS Titanic page 327 reprints a letter from Ester Hart , originally published in the Ilford Graphic, May 10, 1912, which says:
    “Just then, a man who had previously tried to get in, succeeded in doing so, but was ordered out, and the officer fired his revolver into the air to let everyone see it was loaded, and shouted out, “Stand back! I say, stand back! The next man who puts his foot in this boat, I will shoot him down like a dog.” Ben, who had been doing what he could to help the women and children, said quietly, “I’m not going in, but for God’s sake look after my wife and child.” And little Eva called out to the officer with the revolver “Don’t shoot my daddy. You shan’t shoot my daddy...
    Our officer was busy shouting out till he was hoarse, “Let all the boats keep as near together as possible. That’s our only chance of being picked up. If we separate we are lost. Keep together.” An inky blackness now settled over us, and not a soul in our boat had a match; but the officer found in his pockets an electric torch, which he kept flashing, shouting out all the time, “Keep together,-it’s our only chance...
    It had got a little lighter now, and our officer had collected nearly all the boats together; and he called from one to the other, “How many in yours-how many in yours?” and then he discovered that there was room in those other boats to put the whole of our fifty-five in, so we were transferred to them, and the officer now collected a few seamen in his now empty boat and rowed away to see what he could find...
    It was no easy matter for me to get from one boat to the other. I am no light weight at the best of times: but now I was weak from want of sleep,-weak with the terror of the night, and laden with Ben’s heavy motor coat. Eva had been handed in, and I shall never forget my feelings when I saw her leave, and found myself unable to get a footing on the boat she was in. At last I managed it, how I could not tell. Eva was suffering from a violent attack of vomiting: for, when they had thrown her into the first boat from the Titanic she had hit her stomach on the edge of the boat. And there the poor little thing was, and I could not get near her to wipe her mouth. So there we sat the weary night through until at eight in the morning, the Carpathia came on the scene. I always thought that these ship boats had to be provisioned beforehand, in view of possible accidents, but there was no water, nor were there biscuits in the boat. An oversight I suppose: but one fraught with terrible consequences had not the Carpathia arrived in good time."

This suggests that Esther and Eva ended up in the same boat, but not together.

Eva Hart’s account in Commutator #64 (Vol 2 No 21) confirms they were in #14, describing the lifeboats being brought together by “the officer in charge of our lifeboat”. 

There is little doubt that Mrs. Hart is describing 5th Officer Lowe in #14. However, there does not appear to be any detail as to which boat they transferred to.

Mrs. Hart did not give many details after her transfer out of No. 14. She described several details about No. 14 but not about her "new" boat. Maybe there was nothing "special" in the boat into which she was "transferred". No. D was taken in tow by No. 14, she does not describe it or/and did not mention the officer "Lowe" again. Nos. 4 & 12 took up the people from B. No mention about it too. Which would leave No. 10 as one of the boats where nothing "special" happened.
