Two original Marconigrams sent by two survivors of the Titanic, while aboard the Carpathia. Both are in pencil on Marconi International Marine Communication Company telegram paper, 8.75 x 5.75, both are dated April 17, 1912, and affixed to opposite sides of a 13.5 x 8.25 album page, with British Enquiry evidence numbers 16 and 17 written at the top of the pages. First one, sent to Saks in New York reads, “Leila safe and well cared for. Edgar missing.” Leila was the daughter of Andrew Saks of Saks 5 Avenue fame. She had cut short her European vacation to return for the funeral of her father who had died suddenly. Her husband Edgar died in the sinking. Second one reads, “All safe on Carpathia bound for New York.” The second one was most likely sent by 1st class passenger Margaret Hays who survived with her dog and human traveling companions. In very good condition, with light overall toning and age wear, some minor scattered soiling and creasing. Both Marconigrams are documented in the book Titanic: Signals of Disaster. Book notes number 16 was received to MEA by H. C. at 7:17am. Number 17 was sent to MEA by H. C. At 7:20am. A stark reminder of the vital communication between the Carpathia and land, sending both good news and bad.
