Maryam stared at the holy city of Yerushalaim. She was standing high on the Mount of Olives. She could see the ancient stone walls and the wide streets. She began to stare at the Temple Mount. The Temple was supported by massive retaining walls. The Temple was where God lived.

" This is dangerous Yeshu". Maryam stared at her son. " They are violent men".

" I must speak with Dysmas".

" I don't trust the Zealots Yeshu".

Yeshu sighed. " I agreed to meet them here at the ninth hour".

Then Yeshu heard a noise. He turned. Two men were now three paces behind Yeshu.

The first man was skinny and wore tattered dirty clothes.

" Dysmas, please sit down".

The other man also sat down. He had brown hair and a pockmarked face.

" Gestas, please sit".

The next day Tues April 16 1912, everybody in the world knew who J Bruce Ismay was. Some people called him a coward. Some people thought that he cared only for himself and not others. John Bull Weekly addressed Ismay directly for 3 months. Some people began saying that Ismay put profit before lies. People accused Ismay of not being a gentleman. Some people thought that Ismay only thought of his own survival and not others.

People in the US knew about Ismay even before the Titanic. People knew he inherited his position in the White Star Line. In Britain, Ismay was despised. In a country where hierarchy was based on birth, Ismay was no more than a businessman. 

Passengers on the Titanic knew their destination. Ismay did not. When the chance came for Ismay to save his own life, he took it.

J Bruce Ismay was sitting among Chinese, Lebanese and Swedish passengers. On Collapsible C, Ismay was the oldest at 49. He was 6-4 and had a waxed moustache. In the raft, he was wearing his pyjamas, a coat and slippers. In the raft, he spoke to no one. It only took 2 hours and forty minutes for the huge liner to sink.

When asked, Ismay stated that he was rowing and did not witness the huge liner sink. Others in the lifeboats witnessed the liner dip underwater with it's lights on. Others watched as the liner's stern rise up into the air. Then the huge liner took it's final plunge. Those in the lifeboats watched as the huge liner disappeared into the cold dark Atlantic. The moonless water was silent again. To the lifeboat passengers, the impression was of awe and sadness.

After the Titanic sank, it left a level sea. But on the surface were deck chairs, lifejackets and the bodies of already dead and dying passengers. 

Then the survivors on the liferafts began to hear the most horrible sounds they had ever heard. It was the wailing and the suffering of over a thousand souls. 

Even though over a thousand passengers were struggling in the freezing cold of the Atlantic, only one lifeboat went back to try and save somebody. This was Lifeboat 14.

School was tough for George Harrison at the Liverpool Institute. He hated school. He just wanted to learn the minimum required. He rebelled by wearing a yellow waist coat under his blazer. He wore a school cap on his Elvis haircut.

Paul McCartney was now in the upper School at the Institute. John was still at the Quarry Bank. Both John and Paul were tired of being told what to do. Both lads were having a growing obsession with Elvis and Rock and Roll. George, Paul and Richy went to see the film ' Rock Around The Clock'. Teddy Boys used the movie and Rock and Roll as the music of violence.

To counter Rock and Roll, people sought out skiffle. The music was homemade and it was acoustic. It was cleaner. Lyrics were not suggestive. For handmade instruments, all you needed was a guitar, a washboard and a makeshift standup bass. 

Recording Manager George Martin signed Tommy Hicks and his skiffle group to his Parlophone label. It was called the ' Super Rhythm Style' label.
