Mrs. Elizabeth Dowdell of 215 Park Avenue, Union Hill, who was rescued with her 7-year-old daughter Esther [sic], said: "I had been abroad and was returning to my home in Jersey. I was taken aboard the life boats with my little girl almost at the last moment. I was unable to save anything and would like to have my relatives notified."
[Note: The article mistakenly identifies Virginia Ehtel Emanuel as Dowdell's daughter.]
