No, the guy near the cabin was running from the port side of the ship to the starboard side. The officer was close to the starboard rail when he yelled "Abandon ship" to the crew and it was easy for him to just jump overboard like Groves did. If you want to escape destruction there's no sense in running from the starboard stairs to the port side of the ship and then back to the starboard side. You'll just jump overboard as quick as you can.
