Jack Phillips took the wire out of his pocket and knew he was in big trouble. He walked onto the bridge and handed it to Captain Smith. " Captain, I have an ice warning for you".
He opened the wire and read it. " It is a warning from the Caronia that's dated two days ago". He frowned and stared at the scared wireless operator. " Any more ice warnings need to be given to me at once, understood".
" Aye Sir" Phillips replied with a relieved look as he walked away. He walked back to the cramped wire room where Bride was busy tapping out personal messages. " What are you doing?".
" Look at this whole stack of messages I have to send out" he said with a sigh as he held up a huge stack. " The machine had broken down until 5 this morning and I have all these messages to catch up on".
" If you get any ice warnings" Phillips said as he sat down in an empty chair. " Captain Smith wants to see them right away".
" Ok" Bride replied with a sigh as he went back to tapping out passenger messages.
