"Aft, the frightened immigrants mill and jostle and rush for a boat. An officer’s fist flies out; three shots are fired in the air, and the panic is quelled . . . ."

"Mrs. Straus puts her foot on the gunwale of a lifeboat; then she draws back and goes to her husband: 'We have been together many years; where you go, I will go.'"
