This steward first appeared handing lifebelts to steerage passengers, including Tommy Ryan. The Core Extra was standing there too. Nearby, Steward 3 was at a Bostwick gate, preventing steerage passengers from reaching the lifeboats. A random steerage steward was complaining about luggage blocking the gangway. Steward 2 yelled "Put that down!" but the gate was rammed open. He desperately tried to send the escaping passengers back only to be punched by Thomas.
