"Women in my boat were not permitted to row, although some of them wanted to do so that they could keep warm. It was about 3 degrees above zero and very chilly." "If the Impart h«d been bow on," . continued Plttman, "the Titanic would be afloat now. If two or three steamers had col lided with her, she would not have sunk. It would have re quired about six steamer to sink Jier by collision." The officer stated that he left J. Bruce Ismay on the Titanic and did not Bee htm again until they were both on the Carpathla. Might Have Saved More. "I know that my boat might have held more," glad Pittman, "and I told my men to try to pick up passengers from among those who were struggling in the waters. Many of my passengers begged me not to do this, fear ing that the lHtat would capsize. I turned the boat around to go in the direction of criea which I heard. When I saw that the pas sengers thought the swlmmem would swamp up, I did not go back to the spot where the Ti tanic sank. We took in our oars and drifted for an hour. Oradu ully the cries grew fewer and finally ceased." When the members of the com mittee insisted on pressing him for details ag to his efforts to rescue the swimmers from the waters, Pittmans voice choked and he replied with feeling: "I had rather y«>n had left that oat. That was all the effort I made to rescue people from the water.' "We sighted the Carpathia at 3:30, when she seemed about 5 miles away," continued Pittman. "This was at daybreak, and all cries and stopped long before." The officer stated that he saw no bodies floating in the water. At 1:30 o'clock he said he saw a white light on the borlzon tout was unable to tell whether it was from a lifeboat or a steamer.
