Message: [QUOTE="Bob Godfrey, post: 80790, member: 136612"] Hardly a rumour. QM Rowe, who was in charge of the boat, testified at the American inquiry: When daylight broke, we found four men, Chinamen, I think they were, or Filipinos. [I]When day broke, you found four Chinamen or Filipinos under the seats?[/I] Not under the seats then, sir. They came up between the seats. And at the British Inquiry: [I]And the rest of the people were what?[/I] What I thought were women and children. [I]Did they prove to be women and children?[/I] No, not at daybreak. [I]Why? Tell me about that?[/I] I found four Chinamen aboard. [I]Where were they?[/I] I could not see at the time. [I]They were in the boat somewhere?[/I] They were in there at daybreak. [I]How they got in you do not know, I suppose?[/I] No. [/QUOTE]
