Wasn't the Second Officer Mr. Lightroller?

See my post above, where I said: ‘One regarded theory, based upon testimony, is that after David Blair (the ship's original second officer) left the ship, he neglected to inform anyone as to what he had done with the binoculars. It has been theorised that Blair left them locked in his cabin (which became Lightoller's). Lookout George Symons asked Lightoller about them, but Lightoller had a quick look in one of the officers' cabins (possibly Murdoch's) and could not find them -- apparently not looking in his own. Chief Officer Wilde confirmed to Symons that there were no binoculars for the lookouts. As I've said, there's more information in the enquiry transcripts and report, but we do know that the remaining officers appeared to be unaware of the location of any binoculars.’
