Mrs. Frances Perryer

Mrs. Frances Perryer, Chief Stewardess of the s.s. “Gothic,” was born at South End, Essex. Before joining the White Star line, with which she has been for twelve years, Mrs. Perryer held the position of chief stewardess for four years under the National Company, and for six years under the Donald Currie Company. In 1884 she was appointed to the s.s. “Doric,” and after serving for nine years she was transferred to the floating palace in which she now sails. As a nurse, Mrs. Perryer has had a very good record, her services being invaluable to Captain Lowden, of the “Doric,” and Captain Kidley, of the “Gothic,” during severe illnesses. Mrs. Perryer is highly respected as a chief stewardess, and has been the recipient of numerous testimonials from ladies who have been entrusted to her care.
