Destination Seafood {listing to one side). So we got in the boat emd ziaturally we couldn't get away from the ship, you know. She was coming in on top of us. We were in under and she was coming in over on top of us. An awful feeling. So after a while then, one of the engineers was steuiding on the deck of her aind he was holding onto the rail. He was looking right down in the boat at us. All he had to do was just let the railing go and fall right in the boat.

(How many men in the lifeboat?) Forty-seven. The lifeboat was good for sixty-two, I think it is. It accommodates sixty-two. And there were forty-seven. We lost four men. We lost the captain, second engineer, third engineer, and the chief engineer. (What kept them from get? ting in the lifeboat?) Well, I think the second engineer • I think he was caught be? low.
