In part: “We…were awakened by a steward and told to put on our life jackets and go up on deck. I remember being afraid that I would have to jump in the water. We were put into number 11 lifeboat and I remember seeing the lights going out and hearing the bursting of the boilers and the screams of the drowning. At dawn we were rescued by the Carpathia.” Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, slightly trimmed vertical edge, and some scattered light toning, otherwise fine condition. Vivid memories from a life-altering event. RR Auction COA.
