Amongst the crew on the ill-fated “Titanic” was Miss M Sloan, a sister of Mr Thomas Sloan of West-street yard superintendent at Messrs Wethered’s brewery. Miss Sloan was chief stewardess on the great liner, having been transferred from the “Olympic” when the latter met with an accident. The news of the disaster caused grave anxiety to the relatives, and it was not until Friday that the welcome intelligence arrived that Miss Sloan was amongst the survivors, a cablegram being sent from New York to Mr Sloan by his sister.
