INSISTS HUSBAND ESCAPED DISASTER
New York Evening Journal
A pathetic case growing out of the Titanic disaster is that of Mrs. J. Bradley Cumings of No. 50 East Sixty-fourth Street, whose husband, formerly a broker at No. 36 Wall Street, perished with the ship.
Mrs. Cumings, confined in her bed since her arrival on the Carpathia, clings to-day to the hope that her husband still lives. Although suffering from the exposure and shock she persists in rising from her pillow to say:
My husband is alive; you will find him somewhere."
A relative of Mrs. Cumings told a reporter that Mrs. Cumings believes her husband was picked up by a schooner or a lifeboat, insisting that all the boats have not been accounted for. She has told her relatives that she saw a schooner in the vicinity of the wreck shortly after the Titanic went down.
