The second wireless operator on the Titanic being taken down the gang plank when the rescue ship Carpathia docked Thursday night. At the time Titanic struck Cottam {sic} was off duty and asleep in his berth, and was compelled to take charge of a lifeboat before he was fully clothed; even his shoes were missing. When they were taken aboard the rescue ship it was found that Cottam {sic} could not move, as his feet had been frozen. Cottam {sic} has to be carried from the Carpathia when she docked at her pier in the North River, New York
