Following the impact and listing of the stricken vessel those who chanced to be on deck either jumped or were thrown into the sea, with life-buoys. The life-buoys thrown from the Arc- turus, one account states, "proved excellent life-savers, the buoys being fitted with small carbide lamps, and the light which these I gave helped in saving people.'
One of the saved, Miss Tipping, having been pitched into the sea, goods which will be subject swam around and found an empty rent after April 13. boat, climbed into it, but it sank under her.
