1) I don't know if there were lifeboats or not, but I believe there were. All the crew and passengers have departed, you'll notice, when our happy couple finally get on deck. My guess is that they took all the lifeboats, assuming that all survivors were present. Just a guess, but I'm sticking with it. Rescue ships are those available to answer distress calls. It may be there were no ships around in the hours from the damage to when our couple gets out onto the deck. It's a big ocean out there. My quandary is where the lifeboats are, if the crew and passengers were able to cast off in them. You'd think they'd be around the ship, where all the rescue ships would be heading. I'll say it's just a script device to have our heroes left alone on board.
2) This is a bad movie, in my very humble opinion. The editing was bad, and the sound editing was horrible. When the commander and Emily are in the car, some of their scenes are shot in the back seat, but some are clearly in a studio set with a black background. It was very amateurish. Much of the editing was amateurish. It's interesting to see the master Hitchcock learning his craft, but overall this is a bad movie.

Movie girl: I really liked the film and thought they were rescued by the people in the Chinese junk. There was the sound of a newborn crying, etc. amid the rescue. But one wonders about fellow passengers.
Also, it was good, but clearance is difficult in the end. She had not cheated, only at heart. But he had, with the woman who pretended to have a title. "Princess".
AT the end they got back together - he was back to his monotonous job and she to the sewing. Then we see that she is expecting. Both are joyful with the news.
