White, Mr Alfred Thomas	4	4	3.39

Alfred White gave the following account in The New York Call on April 20, 1912:
    “I went down into the light engine room where my station was, at 12:40.  We even made coffee, showing that there wasn’t much thought of danger.  An hour later I was still working around the light engines.  I heard the chief engineer tell one of his subordinates that No. 6 bulkhead had given way.  At that time things began to look bad for the Titanic was far down by the bow.  I was told to go up and see how things were going, and made my way up the through the dummy funnel to the bridge deck.
      By that time all the boats had left the ship, and yet every one (sic) in the engine room was at his post.  I was near the captain and heard him say ‘Well boys, I guess its every man for himself now.’
      I slipped down some loose boat falls and dropped into the water.  There was a boat not far away which later picked me up.  There were five firemen in her as crew, 40 women and 16 children.  There was no officer.  During the six hours we were afloat we were near what we boys later called the millionaires’ boat.  That life boat had only 16 passengers in her…
      …Near the boat in which I was...were two collapsible boats which had failed to work and were not better than rafts.  They had thirty-two men clinging to them who were later picked up by the lifeboats.”

White’s account sounds very similar to those of Greasers Thomas Ranger and Frederick Scott, both of whom dropped down falls and made it into boat #4, which was still alongside the ship.  In fact, White’s description of the occupants of the boat he was pulled into is a close match for #4, which after pulling eight individuals from the water and transferring in occupants from other lifeboats in Lowe’s flotilla, reached Carpathia with around 60 aboard.

Furthermore, White’s description of being near a collapsible boat and 32 being rescued is consistent with a rescue in #4, which was one of two lifeboats which took survivors off of Collapsible B during the night.  Boat #4 was not near #1, which was dubbed “the millionaires’ boat” by some individuals.  However, it is possible that White saw boat #2, which had just 17 aboard (close to his estimate of 16), and mistook it for #1, which had just 12 aboard.

White gave another account in the Daily Mail on April 20, 1912.  He said that he arrived on deck from the engine room around 1:40 a.m.  He saw a boat leaving and slid down the falls to her.

When all is said and done, we concluded that the most likely possibility was that White was saved in boat #4.
