Fortunately, Abelseth’s determination and calm thinking paid off as he soon found his way into a lifeboat: “A while later these girls were standing there, and one of the officers came and hollered for all of the ladies to come up on the boat deck. The gate was opened and these two girls went up. We stayed a little while longer, and then they said, ‘Everybody.’ I do not know who that was, but I think it was some of the officers that said it. I could not say that, but it was somebody that said ‘everybody.’ We went up. We went over to the port side of the ship, and there were just one or two boats on the port side that were lost. Anyway, there was one. We were standing there looking at them lowering this boat. We could see them, some of the crew helping take the ladies in their arms and throwing them into the lifeboats. We saw them lower this boat, and there were no more boats on the port side.”
