The fate of Captain Smith was given by one of the rescued firemen of the Titanic; one Henry Senior. He testified that he had been clinging to a piece of the wreckage for about a half hour before swimming over to 8 or 9 other survivors who had just established control over an overturned life boat. Upon joining them he looked up and saw the Titanic rearing before her final plunge. At that moment he saw Capt. Smith jump into the sea from the promenade deck with a young child clutched in his arms. It only took a few strokes to receive him at the boat when a dozen hands reached for the child and then dragged the Captain in. He had on a Life preserver and a buoy. He took off the life preserver and threw the buoy into the ocean, slipped back into the sea and said: "I will follow the ship...."
