Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 128, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 May 1913 — Unnamed Heroine. [ARTICLE]

Unnamed Heroine.

The anniversary Is responsible for the publication of many reminiscences concerning the sinking of the Titanic. What the survivors and the chroniclers most like to dwell upon Is the heroism displayed by passengers and crew aboard the vanished liner. There are tales of Major Butt, the Strausses, First Officer Murdock and many others, who showed fine metal in the hour of disaster. But there goes quite unmentioned, as she went almost unmentioned a year ago, the little English woman who said to the officer who would have thrust her into a lifeboat: “Oh, no, sir, I’m only a stewardess.” ■ \
