You were a 12 year-old Lebanese kid who spoke no English. Your mom and other family members had immigrated to Jacksonville (Bortles!) and now it was time for you, your father, and your 14 year-old sister to join them.
Unfortunately, dad get pink eye or something and wasn't allowed to board the ship, so he sent you and your sister on alone. Two children lost alone in the crowd, not speaking English, you went topside and were eventually gathered up by some adults and herded onto Collapsible Lifeboat C twenty minutes before the ship went down. This lifeboat was the one where there was a concerted last-ditch effort to round up women and children.
Apparently you did not enjoy this adventure and could not talk about it afterwards.
