the miracle on Titanic page 2 by ric gustafson.
" Good morning Mr Boxhall".
The fourth officer, standing on the railing to the bridge, turned and saw the smiling face of Captain E J Smith.
" A grand morning it is" the young officer replied as he glanced at the brass buttons lining the front of his blue uniform. The Captain had his Afghan hound by his side.
" Have you been working on our course?".
" Aye Sir". They walked into the bridge and stopped at a huge map. " I have us more on a southerly route to avoid ice fields".
" That's fine for right now" Captain Smith replied as he scratched his grey beard. " We'll have to see what Mr Ismay says". As the young officer walked away, Captain Smith noticed a young man enter the wireless operator room. He knocked on the door.
It opened to reveal a young man standing next to something he had never seen before.
" Come in Captain, I'm Jack Phillips" he said as he shook the Captain's hand. " Mr Bride and myself will be in charge of the Marconi wireless".
" Mr Phillips, what is the range of this wonderful new apparatus?".
" Four hundred miles by day Captain".
" Good".
