Eva and her mother were rescued the following morning by the rescue ship RMS "Carpathia". Soon after arriving in New York City on 18 April, Eva and her mother returned to the UK. Her mother later remarried. Eva was plagued with nightmares and upon the death of her mother in 1928, when Hart was 23. She confronted her fears head-on by booking a ticket on a passenger ship heading to Singapore and locking herself in her cabin for four straight days, until the stewardess made her get on the deck and the nightmares went away.
