Mabel Rowland
Mrs. T. Martin appears on the Valencia’s passenger list. It was discovered in the days following the wreck that this was a fake name used by Mabel Rowland. Mabel Rowland, Roy Hazard, 21 and Lulu Rowland, 16 had run away together to keep Lulu Rowland from testifying in court against Roy Hazard's father. He was, "under indictment in Los Angeles on a statutory charge preferred by Lulu May Rowland, 16 years of age..." They were travelling from LA using fake names. The two girls went as “Misses T Martin and T Simpson.” They left Los Angeles together surreptitiously, young Hazard giving his name as “West” when taking passage on the Valencia at San Francisco, and the two girls as “Misses Martin and Simpson.”” Hazard left a letter with a friend with instructions to mail it when they sailed. The friend forgot until January 27th, several days after the Valencia wrecked. The parents only learned they were on the Valencia when the letter arrived. Mabel Rowland's body was never recovered, though several newspapers reports list her body found and identified by her father. This appears to be incorrect as Lulu Rowland and Roy Hazard's bodies were found and identified as reported by the majority of newspapers. Mabel Rowland's body was never found.
