"I got to the starboard side of the poop;
found myself in the water. I do not believe
my head went under at all. I thought I saw some wreckage, swam towards it
and found collapsible
boat (B) with Lightoller and about twenty-five
men on it. There was no room for me.
I tried to get on, but was pushed off, but I
hung around. I got around to the opposite side
and cook Maynard, who recognized me,
helped me and held on to me."

Musicians
Employed by Messers C.W.
and F.N. Black of Liverpool
The Band was supplied by the " Black Talent Agency"
of Liverpool. They signed on the ship for one shilling
a month. The 8 musicians all boarded Titanic together with one ticket, and
boarded as second class passengers.
They worked under the Captain, but their wages came from Black Talent
Agency. After the ships sinking, nobody wanted to take the responsibility
for the lives of the Bandsmen. They weren't covered by anyones insurance
policy. The White Star Line said that the Band worked for the Black Talent
Agency and there for should be covered by them, and the Talent Agency
argued that the Band
was listed as passengers and therefore covered as such.
One family was even hounded by the Talent Agency for the dead band members
unpaid uniform bill which amounted to only $3.50 in American money.
It is said that they played until the end, some saying the last song they
played was "Nearer My God To Thee"
although there have been a few different recollections of this, with some
saying they stopped playing about 30 minutes before the ship sank, possibly
to retrieve lifebelts. But it is known that they did play up beat
tunes throughout the whole ordeal as to try to keep the passengers spirits
up in this time of tragedy.
All 8 men perished in the sinking.

Wallace Hartley
{BandMaster}
Wallace tried to skip the Titanic crossing he
had recently
become engaged, But he thought playing on the greatest ship of the time,
would give him good contacts for future work.
His courageous final performance immediately labeled him a hero.
The people of Colne erected a 10-foot bust in Hartley's honor,
and over 40,000 mourners attended his funeral
