Atlantic City Daily Press, April 19th 1912:
    “The boat I was in got away on the port side of the Titanic, between her and the iceberg. The berg was about [illegible two-digit number] feet high, or perhaps more. It overtopped the ship’s decks. There was not any mark on the ice where the ship struck, so far as could be seen.
    On the port side of the ship I saw no signs of damage to the hull. Her bow was unharmed. It was not crumpled in at all, and all along the port side I could not see that there were any indications of broken plates or holes in her hull. Certainly no one could see then that the Titanic was going to sink.
    I was in one of the lifeboats and not in one of the collapsible canvas boats which were launched. There were some rafts launched, too. There were thirty- six in our boat, and we were pretty heavily loaded. After an hour we got up with another one of the lifeboats and took three out of our boat and put them into the other, which only had twenty-eight in it. Most of those in our boat were women. The sea was smooth and remained so until we were picked up by the Carpathia, when it got a bit choppy."

Obviously he had confused port and starboard, as we know the iceberg was on the starboard side.

We know that #5 transferred several people into #7.  Thirty six people is close to our own estimate in that lifeboat.
