Norfolk, Va – April 24 – Mrs. Leah Aks and her infant, survivors from the Titanic disaster, has [sic] arrived here, but the woman was too ill to talk and had to go to bed. Mrs. Aks came to America to join her husband, S. Aks, a tailor, who had never before seen their child.
It was the Aks infant that was recovered by the mother on the Carpathia after she had given it up as lost. The infant having been taken by a frantic man fell into the lap of a woman survivor in a lifeboat as it was tossed over the side of the Titanic. The mother, who fainted, was placed in another lifeboat.
