Re: Gunshots


I'm going to guess this rather than look it up.
I think he fired five shots in total. Two in the air while on deck to warn people away from the lifeboat (not sure which) and three that he aimed alongside the ship as the lifeboat he manned was being lowered, again to warn people away for safety reasons.

Re: Gunshots

Yup three shots while lowering boat 14. I can't find about for sure the two in the air before hand, but he testified about the three.

I believe you are right Wills...think it was Murdoch who fired a couple of shots in the air.
