Mr. C. H. Lightoller, the second officer
Southampton Times and Hampshire Express
Mr. C. H. Lightoller, the second officer on the ill-fated Titanic,
who is reported to be among the survivors, lived at Netley Abbey, and
on Wednesday one of our representatives called on his wife at their
residence at Hound to convey congratulations at Mr. Lightoller's
providential escape.
Mrs. Lightoller, who has two little boys, had just returned from
Southampton, where she had been visiting the wives of other officers
less fortunate than herself, and said how terribly anxious she had
been, but how thankful she felt now that she was assured of her
husband's safety.
Mr. Lightoller, who comes from Liverpool, has seen service with the
White Star line on the liners Teutonic and Oceanic, but recently has
been engaged on the Majestic. Mrs. Lightoller is a native of Australia,
and, with her husband, have been living at Netley since the Company
came to Southampton. Mrs. Lightoller said that she had endeavoured to
see the Mayor of Southampton, to ask what she might do to help in
collecting at Netley, as she thought she ought to do everything in her
power now she herself was relieved from anxiety. In conclusion, Mrs.
Lightoller said she had been besieged with telegrams of inquiry and
congratulations, and wished to thank those who had sent, for she could
not possibly reply to so many.
