Mr. Finlay: Have you ever, on any occasion, attempted to interfere with the navigation of the vessel on any of these occasions?
Mr. Finlay: When you left the deck just before getting into the collapsible boat, did you hear the officer calling out for more women?
Mr. Ismay: I do not think I did; but I heard them calling for women very often.
Mr. Edwards: When the last boat left the Titanic you must have known that a number of passengers and crew were still on board?
Mr. Ismay: I did.
Mr. Edwards: And yet you did not see any on the deck?
Mr. Ismay: No, I did not see any, and I could only assume that the other passengers had gone to the other end of the ship.
From an address (Br. Inq.) by Mr. A. Clement Edwards, M. P., Counsel for Dock Workers’ Union:
What was Mr. Ismay’s duty?
