S. Davis
S. Davis was the second assistant engineer on the Valencia. Frank Connors, one of the survivors recalled Davis making a heroic attempt to swim a line to shore after John Segalos failed in his attempt. Connors recalled that Davis was in the water for half an hour and managed to get closer to the shore than Segalos did. The powerful undertow kept pulling him back from the shore and eventually he was pulled back on board. Davis was last seen clinging to the rigging of the Valencia just two hours before it finally collapsed into the sea. Davis and the remaining survivors numbering an estimated 60-75 did not survive.
