Her passport had been made out for Paris, where she was going to join the staff of a hospital. She had offered her services voluntarily, and after some correspondence they had been accepted. Having seen her name in the list of the saved from the Lusitania , the staff of the hospital were naturally very surprised at her not arriving to take up her billet, and at not hearing from her in any way.
