"Major Arthur Godfrey Peuchen, starting to undress for the night.."(19)

So when it hit the iceberg he was in the middle of getting undressed probably to go to bed. He was probably caught off guard by it  and kinda scared but he was like practically naked so he couldn't go out and check.

"... thought it was like a heavy wave striking the ship."(19)

So when it happened he thought it was just a big wave hitting the boat.It also makes senses because he was in the one of the suites near the middle so he probably didn't hear it that well.

After Peuchen returned safely he was interviewed by different media in New York. He mostly criticized the managers and crew members saying things like , “They seemed short of sailors around the lifeboats,” and also, “I imagine this crew is what we call in yachting terms as scratch crew, brought from different vessels. They might be the best but they were not accustomed to working together.” But he also received a lot of negative criticism saying he was selfish and did whatever he could to get a boat.The later he retired from the army at the begging of WW1.(Encyclopedia Titanica)

He died in 1929 and was buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto.
