British Inquiry
Testimony of Alfred Shiers
    4645. Did it remain empty from the beginning to the end? - No, it came away after. He (an unknown officer, likely Murdoch) asked for any of the crew; he turned and asked me what I was. I said, "A fireman," and he said, "Get into the boat."
    4646. (Mr. Butler Aspinall.) Did you get into it? - I got into No. 5 boat.

    4653. Then you got into No. 5? Was No. 5 lowered? - Yes.

    4659. When the boat was lowered what became of the boat? Did it remain close alongside the ship or row off a bit? - We had orders to row off a bit from one of the officers on top.
    4660. And were the orders obeyed? - Yes.
