From The Western Times, April 13, 1912:
    "I partly clothed myself and rushed on deck, and saw them lowering the boats.  A gentleman standing by kindly handed me into a lifeboat (No. 10 which contained women and children).  After it was launched, full of women and children, accompanied by one sailor, a foreigner jumped from the boat deck and landed in the boat just before it struck the water. ....  We rowed away from her with only two men."

A later account from the Hartford Courant, April 23, 1931:
    "There was little panic on my deck as I crawled into lifeboat number 13.  In the next boat the ship's officers were trying excitedly to raise or lower the boat, but it was jammed.  'Cut!' the captain belowed!  The ropes were severed simultaneously and the boat fell six floors to the water below, righted itself and rowed away.
    All this happened while we were hanging between heaven and earth, looking five decks up and six down, watching the people at the rails.  Then our boat was lowered.  When it reached the water, a Japanese passenger hurled himself six floors into the bottom of the boat.  Apparently unhurt he crawled under a seat.  They walked all over him, but he was afraid to come out - 'Women and children first' - you know.
    Five of our boats were lashed together but were cut loose before the liner sank."

She says she was in #13, however, she does not describe the lifeboat (#15) coming down on top of it. Yet she does mention "five of our boats were lashed together," which implies Lowe's flotilla, and her statement regarding a Japanese passenger hurling himself into the boat does seem to indicate #10.

However, in the Western Times account, she goes on to say that the boat rowed away with just two men, and implies through it that women rowed. This did happen in boat 10,  here were four crew, plus 'stowaways', just two crew and a foreigner in #12. But equally, she makes no mention of saving anyone from boat B, but nor of any transfers either.

Hence, most of our team voted for #10, but some of us couldn't discount that may be in error, and was in either #10 or #12.
