"GET BACK GET BACK THE LOT OF YOU!" Officer Lowe would fire his gun into the air three times to stop men from rushing his lifeboat while it was lowering. "It's beggining to fall apart..." John muttered. It is now around 1:47 AM and lifeboat 4 is about to be lowered away from the titanic. The starboard list had been fully eliminated, it was now even begining to list to the port side. Astor told Lightoller, "My wife is not in a stable state at the moment may I please acompany her in this boat?" "No sir. No men in these boats." "John," Madeline said. "Go find the dog. Please.." Astor would look at her and Lightoller and walk into the grandstaircase. "Arthur, Go check the other side. Tell us if there is any boats still there." Ben ordered (1:57 AM) Collapsible C is begining to be prepared to be launched by Wilde, Murdoch and Ismay. "ANY MORE WOMEN OR CHILDREN?" "There all aboard Mr. Murdoch!" Ismay exclaimed. "ANY ONE ELSE THEN!?" Arthur would rush onto the starboard boat deck to see collapsible C being loaded with men nearby. "Any room for me?" He'd pant. "Yes! Go!" Ismay helped him into the boat. "Prepare for lower!" Wilde exclaimed. "No one else?" Ismay would look at the boat, He'd step into the lifeboat. Muroch would look at Ismay and say nothing. "Lower away." Chief officer Wilde ordered. Ismay and Arthur would look at eachother, not saying a word. On the other side (2:01 AM) Collapsible D was being filled with women and children ONLY. "WILL THE MEAN PLEASE HOLD BACK! HOLD BACK I SAY!" Lightoller would fire two warning shots into the air. The boat would begin to lower when two men jumped from the submerging A deck promenade into the boat, Lightoller would be furious but decided to let them go. "Ben, you stay here. Me and and Henry will check if Arthur is still there." John said. "Right.." John and Henry would walk through the grandstaircase to find a massive group of men surounding the forward starboard boat deck. "There's no use!" Henry shouted "We have to go!" He'd run aft. John would shout "NOW LOOK! THE'RE SETTING UP A BOAT!" He'd run after him. "HOLD IT! HOLD IT!" A group of men would get collapsibe A off of the roof of the officers quarters "GET THESE DAVITS CRANKED IN! AND GET THE FALLS HOOKED UP!" Murdoch ordered.
