During the morning of the sinking, he had drank a bottle of whiskey, and helped load the port side lifeboats. Joughin had at about 2:00am, jumped off the stern of the Titanic, narrowly missing the port wing propeller and stayed alive in the freezing water for 2 hours because of the whiskey he had drunk. Joughin survived the sinking.

Mr Joughin of gave this statement at the British enquiry:

"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 recognised me, helped me and held on to me."
