Rothes, The Countess of (Lucy Martha Dyer-Edwardes) - was on her way to spend the summer with her husband in Pasedena. They had planned a trip through the States to the West, returning through Canada. The Earl had been in the US for some months and intended to take up residence fruit farming. She took turns steering and rowing her lifeboat as well as comforting wives who had lost their husbands. Her cousin, Miss Cherry also helped to row the boat. One of the early lifeboats lowered, they tried to row towards a ships light which several of the passengers testified later that they saw quite clearly. She said that Captain Smith was by her shoulder as she got into the lifeboat, and that he leant over to a young seaman, Tom Jones, and said, "Row straight for those ship's lights over there. Leave your passengers and return as soon as you can." This is thought to be a possible reason why the earlier boats away were not filled to capacity. (New York Herald, April 22 1912).
