MISSIONARY
% Titanic Death Roll Turns
Up Alive

Washington. Penn, August 8--Miss
Maude Powell, nourned as lost in
the sinking of the Titanic, and for
whom funeral services were held in
a church near here weeks ago, ar.
rived in Washington today, and was
amazed to learn that she was suppos.
ed to have drowned when the mighty
vessel went down of the Newfound.
land banks. Miss Powell, who is q
missionary Of the Presbyterian
church in China, had intended sail.
ing on the Titanic, but at the last
minute took passage on the German
Lloyd Line, tsrrying in London to see
the sights Of that great city.
Miss Powell made her return by
way Of Great Britain, while her
friends here thought she would sail
on the Titanic on It's maiden voyage.
Her friends end relatives here heard
nothing further, and when the Titanic
went down and no trace Of her could
be secured among the survivors It
was taken for granted that she had
drowned and her funeral services
were held.
Miss Powell after deciding that
she would come by another line wrote
friends here, but the letters never
arrived. Miss Powell credits her es.
cape from the Titanic disaster to her
childhood interest in Westminster
Abbey. All her life she says she had
been anxious to see that historic pile,
and when she did reach London she
could not tear herself away. 1t was
her desire to spend more time in the
Abbey that led her to change her sail.
