Second Officer Lightoller stood over the bridge railing. He stared at the calm ocean. Fourth Officer Boxhall was studying some charts. " Have we had any reports of ice?".
" Two so far" replied the young officer. He put the charts down. " Including one about a French liner that sustained minor damage".
" Where was that?".
The young officer picked up a chart and glanced at it. " There is a large ice field at 46 degrees North to 41 degrees North". His voice hesitated. " And then 46 degrees West to 50 degrees West".
" Our ship will be passing right through that ice field".
" According to our present course". Boxhall stared at the older officer. " Yes we will be".
Just then, Captain Smith stepped onto the deck. " How is everything going?".
" Fine Captain". The older officer smiled. " The ocean tonight is a quiet one".
" Good". The Captain patted his hound's head. " Any new reports of ice?".
Boxhall grinned. " No Sir".
