A BRITISH girl of 13 was mowed down and killed by a drunk moped rider while on holiday in Greece.

As her family watched in horror Sigourney Sloan was hurled two metres and cracked her head on the pavement, fracturing her skull.

Moped rider Sevasti Katsouli, 20, sped into the night with three other riders leaving Sigourney dying on the road at Tigaki on the isle of Kos.

Her mum Susan, of Andover, Hants, told an inquest yesterday: "We were talking and laughing and didn't hear the bikes.

Mary Sloan, Titanic Survivor
People with the last name of Sloan are almost all Irish, although a few are Scots. This fact, which I have always known, was verified when somebody set up a Sloan Family e-mail group, and almost all of us turned out to be Irish.
My own ancestors came from Stewartstown, which is in Northern Ireland, near Belfast, where the Titanic was built.

A member of the Sloan family survived the Titanic. Little is known about her, except that her name was Mary Sloan and she was from Belfast. She worked as a stewardess on the ship. No one seems to know what ever happened to her.

I do know that she bears a remarkable resemblance to my own daughter, whose name also happens to be Mary Sloan.
