Steward 3 tries to get women trough a locked Bostwick gate, but men are not allowed to go. An extra opens the gate, but male passengers rush through as well. The seaman uses his axe to beat down escaping passengers and the gate is closed again. Nonetheless, one man still escaped steerage and boarded a lifeboat. This is when Steward 3 received a well-known quote from Tommy Ryan: "For God's sake man, there are women and children down here! Let us up so we can have a chance!" Tommy then descended the stairs and went to look for another way out.
