"Mr. Philip S. Cohen of Charleston, S, C. who was lost, was the youngest brother of Mr. Isaac S. Cohen, of Columbia, who was fortunately preserved. Both brothers were on board the Wm. Gibbons when she was wrecked, and narrowly escaped with their lives. We understand that their friends at home were very urgent in their solicitations that they should not return in the Home. Alas! that their entreaties were of no avail." [per John D Roland, survivor]
