Closeup of civilians sitting on the floor of a another boat amidst pieces of luggage and other items. Sailors with them hold onto cargo to steady themselves as the boat rocks about. Civilians are assisted by sailors as they come aboard the Navy ship, from the smaller boats. They are greeted by Ship's officers. Some women board, followed by a man who hands a little girl to a sailor who brings her on deck, where she joins another little girl, similarly dressed in the company of an older woman. Glimpse of civilians on deck, including some gathered around the chlldren. A well-dressed, distinguished looking older man converses with a woman. Those on board watch for others who may be boarding.

Closeup of an officer and as many as 10 sailors assisting the old woman. As they raise her to bring her on board, it is seen that she is in a chair (possibly a wheel chair).
