You were afraid of the effect of any person jumping in the boat through the air? - Certainly, I was.ġ5858. She was loaded already I suppose with about 64 people on her, and she would not stand any more.ġ5857. I chased one out and to avoid another occurrence of that sort I fired my revolver as I was going down each deck, because the boat would not stand a sudden jerk. How was that? - It was because while I was on the boat deck just as they had started to lower, two men jumped into my boat. Did you use a revolver at all? - I did.ġ5856. There is just another thing I want to ask you. Rowlatt, one of a group of lawyers representing the Board of Trade:ġ5855. The following questions were posed by Mr. Lowe also testified about the warning shots at the British Inquiry. While his testimony at the Senate Inquiry is a little confusing, it would appear that Lowe fired his seven-shot Browning automatic pistol three times, one at the level of the Boat Deck, and then one at each of the next two lower decks as Boat 14 was being lowered. Lowe fired the shots strictly as a warning and therefore aimed them horizontally along the side of the ship. Lowe's statement refers to a group of steerage passengers who tried to jump in Boat 14. That is why I yelled out to look out, and let go, bang, right along the ship's side. I saw a lot of Italians, Latin people, all along the ship's rails - understand, it was open - and they were all glaring, more or less like wild beasts, ready to spring. To his later regret, Lowe went on to state: What happened to the Titanic and why is it still famous?.How many passengers and crew were there on the Titanic?.
