letter, written by Rose Amelie Icard, a survivor of the Titan ic disaster. Ms Icard, believed
< - v ; to have been the maid of first-''
. class passenger Martha Stone, tells of the horror and “sub—: lime heroism” witnessed o n T the ship before the stricken; vessel vanished towards the ocean floor. - Relating how she was “still
suffering from nightmares 43 years on”, Ms Icard tells of howshewasalmosttrappedin the bowels of the vessel as she
. tried to retrieve Mrs Stone’s jewellery from her cabin;- .. She recounts how she chose the wrong stairwell and had to return to the deck, or
. shewouldmostcertainlyhave perished.. ■ -
■ ■ . “When I got back to the
■ deck, the scene that greeted me included women, still in evening gowns, some just out
of bed, barely clothed and di shevelled and scrambling for
the boats. Near me were two handsome elderly people, Mr
and Mrs Straus, proprietors of the great store Macy’s of New York.
“She refused to go into the
boat after having helped in her maid. She put her arms around the neck of her hus-
. band, telling him: ‘We have been married
50.years, we
.< have never left each other, I want to die with you’.”
