What do you think about Turnbull if you read this?

Personality
Turnbull takes his orders seriously, demanding that the Steerage passengers will stay below decks in the Third Class Dining Room. Turnbull is arrogant and doesn't afraid to express his feelings to the Steerage passengers and even his fellow stewards. He is standing above Steward Hart and the two other stewards on the stairs with crossed arms as to show them who is in charge. In next scene standing with fists on his hips.

He has no regard for lives of the passengers in the Steerage, getting into an arguments with Steward Hart, and when suggested to let at least the children up, he simply refuses, telling Hart, as if they would be followed by a pack of screaming mothers. He also shows no concern for his fellow stewards who are in struggle with the male passengers and when Hart decides to take women and children up to the lifeboats, he cuts off their path as soon as Hart is gone. He also arrogantly pushes Jim Malones back into the crowd when the latter 'orders' him to let his wife and children through, and when confronted about his attitude, he gets into Lubov's face and tells him to stand back.

Though he appear to be tough, he prefer to demand orders from a distance rather than aiding his crewmates in holding the irritated passengers. However he is also capable of fighting with just his hands, as shown when he bravely drags Mario Sandrini into the Steerage, so the two sailors can lock him with the other Italian crewmembers.

Turnbull is also racist towards the Italians. He assures Sixth Officer Moody that locking them below decks was best way, but when Moody orders him to let them out eventually, he doesn't take Moody's order seriously and even asks Paolo Sandrini (who search for them) if he is anxious to join them.
