the miracle on Titanic page 29 by ric gustafson.
Sun April 14 1912 1:30 pm
Both Bride and Phillips were working hard on personal messages when a wire came in. Bride listened and wrote it down on a pad. " From the Baltic, Greek steamer Athinai reports passing icebergs and lots of field ice in latitude 41' 51' North, longitude 49' 52' West".
Bride tore off the message and handed it to Phillips. " You better go give it to Captain Smith".
He walked up and handed the wire to the Captain. " Sir, here is another ice warning from the Baltic that just came over the wire".
" Thank you Phillips" he replied as he put the warning into his shirt pocket. " That will be all".
He went back down to the wire room. He noticed Bride writing down another warning. " What did you get now?".
" An ice warning from the German liner Amerika that they have passed two large icebergs at latitude 41' 51' North, longitude 50' 8' West".
" Phillips, should we give this one to the captain?".
" No!" was his reply as he looked at the warning. " I'm already in enough trouble".
