The Titanic
"A man seized me by the arm then another threw both his arms about my waist and dragged me away by main strength. “I heard my husband say ‘Go Lotty for God’s sake be brave and go! I’ll get a seat in another boat.’ “The men who held me rushed me across the deck and hurled me bodily into the lifeboat. I landed on one shoulder and bruised it badly. Other women were crowding behind me but I stumbled to my feet and saw over their head my husband’s back as he walked steadily down the deck and disappeared among the men. His face was turned, but I know that he went unafraid to his death” (Hopkinson 2012).
