From the New York Times, Monday, 10 May 1915, page 6:

[At the Cunard offices] Michael Molloy of 4331 West Forty-seventh Street, whose sister, Miss Margaret Molloy of 4329 West Forty-seventh Street, was a passenger, was accompanied by his cousin, Miss Katherine Flanagan.  On April 25 he received a cablegram announcing the serious illness of his father and Miss Molloy insisted on going to Ireland by the quickest steamship. On the Monday after she left he received a cablegram stating that the father had died.
