Of Miss Bentham it is related that she was sleeping soundly when the stewards came for her. She arose, dressed herself warmly and was handed into a boat. This was very crowded; so much so that one sailor had to sit with his feet dangling in the icy-cold water. As time went on, the sufferings of the man from cold became apparent. Miss Bentham arose from her place and had the man turned round while she took his place with her feet in the water.
