She had left her husband to visit relatives in New York. During the voyage she shared a cabin (F-33) with Mildred Brown, Amelia Lemore, and Elizabeth Nye. After the collision on the night of Sunday April 14th Mildred Brown was very reluctant to get up even when Swane and her room mates encouraged warned her of the danger.
