The Western Times, June 5, 1912:
  "I was assisting the party in charge by Murdock, one of the officers,  .... Well, I had been assisting and, as there was room,  I was asked to jump into the boat, which contained between fifty and sixty, the majority of whom were women and children.  I took a hand in the rowing, it was quite nice to get some kind of work, as it was so bitterly cold."

From The New York Times, April 21st 1912"
"Hastening up to the boat deck I helped collect the women and children, and assisted them into the lifeboats. All the men were very calm, but some of the women, refusing to be separated from their husbands and sons, had literally to be thrown into the boats. The first boat, as I remember it, had scarcely any passengers in it. I think there were only eight there. I am not sure, but I think I was in the last boat, and there were about fifty-five others with me, of whom all but about eight were women. There were three members of the crew. I don't know the name of the man in command of our boat, but I know he was the Quartermaster in command on the second saloon deck. I have a strong impression that our boat was No. 9. There was a sail in it, but this was not used.
    We rowed about 400 yards from the ship before we saw her settling slowly by the head. Then there was an explosion. The lights went out and the ship seemed to break, her nose plunging down and her stern bucking almost straight up. I put my hands over my ears to shut out the wailing as the lights went out, and those on board began to realize that something dreadful was going to happen. The screams grew fainter and fainter very soon, however. Later in the morning, when we were aboard the Carpathia, saw many of the bodies floating by.
    Our boat remained apart from the rest. We had an electric torch in our boat. Most of the others were in darkness. We could see one batch of five boats tied together, and passengers transferred to these from the boat commanded by Fifth Officer Lowe. Later we saw one of the boats, a collapsible, sinking, just as Lowe returned to rescue the passengers in his boat with others he had picked up at the scene of the wreck."

Although Whilems thought he was in #9, the number of people in #11 aligns more closely with #11 than #9.  Quartermaster Wynn was in #9, and AB/Quartermaster Humphries was in #11. Most of us were convinced of #9, but two of the team thought #11 a possibility too.
