Rheims, Mr George Alexander Lucien	Collapsible A	14	5.00

George Rheims consistently stated that he was saved in Collapsible A.  He described his ordeal in detail in a letter to his wife, written on April 19, 1912:
“I swam alone in the night, when at a distance I noticed a raft, half sunk and filled with men. It took me I suppose 15 minutes to reach it. At first they refused to let me come aboard, but I was able to persuade them after all. I stood up on the raft. We were about 20 men and women, with icy water up to our thighs. We had to balance ourselves to avoid capsizing. I stayed six hours in my underwear, shaking with cold. Twice I thought of throwing myself into the ocean and each time the thought of you held me back. I regained courage and resumed - I don’t know how - my efforts to stay on the raft. What a horrible night! We had to push back about 10 poor people who wanted to climb aboard. We were filled to the limit. During the night eight people died from cold or desperation. I am sparing you the details for they are too frightful. I had the pleasure to be able to save a poor man, father of nine children, who asked me to give him a picture of myself with a dedication fit for the King of England. At 8:00 in the morning a lifeboat from the Titanic came to pick us up and took us aboard the Carpathia. I had some trouble walking, my feet being frostbitten.”

Rheims gave a deposition in the Limitation of Liability Hearings, on November 14, 1913:
Q. What happened to you, Mr. Rheims, after you jumped?
- I swam out to go away from the "Titanic" to avoid the suction, but there was no suction; I did not notice any; and while I was swimming I looked over my shoulder and saw the "Titanic" go down.
Q. Describe how she looked when she was going down?
- She went down straight; I saw the screws out of the water in the air; she went down perfectly straight; put her nose in the water; then when she disappeared I turned and tried to come back, where I thought she had gone down, in order to get hold of a piece of wreckage, and I saw some people who seemed to be standing in the water, when I got on this Engelhardt A, which was sunken in the water, and remained there all night and was picked up in the morning by one of the lifeboats from the "Titanic".
Q. What time did they take the people off this boat into the other life boat?
- Must have been 6 or 6:30 in the morning.
Q. Day break then?
- Yes.
Q. Light?
- Yes.
Q. How many people were taken off this collapsible boat?
- 13 or 14. The boat was sinking when picked up.
Q. How deep were you standing in the water on her?
- When we were picked up the water was up to my hips.
Q. How many other people were taken off?
- 13 or 14.
Q. And can you state anything as to whether any died on the raft?
- There were three bodies left on the raft and probably two or three more died during the night.

In his deposition, Rheims also described how he had frostbitten feet and got gangrene in one of his toes, was hospitalized for two weeks in New York and had to walk on crutches.  His injuries prevented him from returning to work for several weeks, once he returned to Paris.  Rheims detailed the medical expenses he incurred, in his deposition.

Rheims story is corroborated by fellow First Class passenger Peter Daly, who stated the following in the New York Times on April 22, 1912:
    "I don't know whether it was a minute or a half hour that I was drifting about in the icy water, when suddenly I bumped into a lifeboat and called for the men in it to give me a hand. I was pulled in by R.N. Williams and George Rheims.”

Due to having a letter written by Rheims, the evidence from the Limitation of Liability Hearings and corroboration from Peter Daly, we concluded with certainty that he was rescued in Collapsible A, and subsequently transferred aboard boat #14 during the night.
