"I did not see what happened to the lifeboats."

"I did not look to see after leaving the Titanic whether she broke in two."

"I did not look to see if there was a panic."

"After I left the bridge I did not see the captain."

"I saw nothing of any explosion."

"I saw no struggle, no confusion."

"I did not recognize any passengers on the Titanic as she sank."

"I saw no women waiting when I entered the lifeboat."
