Captain Toms was standing near a Wheel when the ship entered triangle and when Silent Mary starts sailling straith for the Monarch. Wade and Cole were standing near him on starboard side. Cole is seen attempting back away from the battle on port side.

Once the attack is over, we see Toms on same position. So yes, Cole left him. At first he plays as too loyal officer and then he back away to save himself.
