Letter written by Miss Sloan on board the Lapland, April 27th 1912 (reprinted in On Board RMS Titanic page 395-397):
"I went on deck the second time, one of our little bell boys recognized me, and pointing to a crowded boat said, “Miss Sloan, that’s your boat No. [illegible].” I said child how do you know, I will wait for another, so it pushed off without me. I was still standing when I saw Captain Smith getting excited, passengers would not have noticed, I did. I knew then we were soon going, the distress rockets were then going every minute, so I thought if anyone asked me again to go I should do so, there was then a big crush from behind me. At last they realized their danger, so I was pushed into the boat. I believe it was one of the last ones to leave. We had scarcely got clear when she began sinking rapidly.
    We were in the boats all night. I took a turn to row. The women said I encouraged them, I was pleased. We picked up 30 men. Standing on an upturned boat, among them was one of our officers, Mr Lightoller, we then took charge until the Carpathia picked us up, about seven in the morning. i only hope I shall never have a like experience again. Mr. Lightoller paid me the compliment of saying I was a sailor. We are arriving about midnight on Sunday night. I don't know what the White Star people are going to do with us, I shall wait and see. I have lost everything."

Daily Mirror, April 30, 1912:
    "Miss Sloan, I heard from someone else, was nearly left behind because she stayed on deck trying to persuade a lady passenger to go instead of herself."

The group were in total agreement that Stewardess Sloan was in lifeboat 12 when men were recovered from the sea, among them Officer Lightoller. These men had taken refuge on Collapsible B, and in the morning they were rescued by lifeboats 4 and 12.  The issue was what boat did she leave Titanic in.

Seaman Lucas told the British Inquiry that he transferred his passengers to boat 12 from Collapsible D.

Discussion looked at the possibility that passengers were transferred between other boats in the flotilla of 10, 12, 14, 4 and D during the night, and that perhaps people had been transferred from boat 4.

Six of the group voted for Miss Sloan leaving the Titanic in collapsible D, and for being transferred to lifeboat 12. Two in the group voted that Miss Sloan was placed in lifeboat 4, and then transferred to boat 12. There was a range of confidence expressed in these decisions.
