and I think that by showing a calm exterior,	0:24:25	0:24:29
the officers helped to get at least those 700 people into the boats.	0:24:29	0:24:34
This is an account written by Charles Lightoller, the second officer.	0:24:34	0:24:37
"I may say I was practically the last man to speak to Dr Simpson.	0:24:37	0:24:41
"We merely exchange the words, 'Goodbye, old man.'	0:24:41	0:24:43

"and I'm not aware that he was seen by anyone after."	0:24:46	0:24:49

faced with this overwhelming situation	0:24:51	0:24:54
that Simpson found himself in that night.	0:24:54	0:24:56
