[3] There is mention of Evelyn in a letter by Mary Sloan to her sister on 27 April 1912, stating that they both were taken to Dr. Simpson's room for a little whiskey and water during the disaster.
From 8 May 1907 to 5 June 1907, Evelyn went on sick leave with full pay for about a month due to contracting gangrene of the finger whilst on duty.
[2] Following the Titanic tragedy she married Dr William Abel James, who had also worked for White Star Line.
He studied as a medical student whilst living in two rooms at 22 Glenroy Street, Roath, Glamorgan, Wales, according to the 1901 census.
On her return to Australia she was heralded as a heroine, calling first at the Semaphore, South Australia anchorage on 2 November 1912, on board the White Star liner the Irishman, on which her husband also served as ship's doctor, and so was subsequently bound to continue on to its final destination of Sydney, arriving 14 November, before disembarking on the 15th following a day's quarantine.
