In the boat with Mrs. Renouf were the Misses Lillian Bentham (of Jersey) and Miss Emily Rugg.
When the boat left the ship's side there were 30 on board, but later 30 men were taken from a raft, of whom one died later from exposure.
Another passenger who'd booked in the White Star line's office at Arcade, St. Peter Port, was Miss Bentham, an American lady of Guernsey parentage returning home from a holiday.
