Bride took off his headphones and rested his eyes for a moment. Just then, another warning came in. He looked at it. It read ' From Mesaba to Titanic heavy pack ice heavy ice bergs and field ice latitude 42' North to 41' 25' North, longitude 49' West to 50' 30' West'.
Frustrated, he ripped off the warning and put it on top of the other incoming messages.
David and his mother were walking along the Boat Deck. They noticed how quiet it was. The water was calm.
David's mother noticed that it had become much colder out than earlier.
" I'm proud of you David". She kissed his cheek.
" Why is that?".
She began to shiver. " For giving your life to Jesus".
He smiled. " It seems as if my life has totally changed since this morning".
" That's the Holy Spirit working in your heart". The cold air was really starting to bother her. " David, I'm getting really cold out here".
" I am too". He put his arm around his mother. They walked back toward the first class lounge.

Jack Phillips was sending out more personal messages. Just then, his headphones crackled. " Now what". It was a warning from the Californian ' We are stopped and surrounded by ice'.
Angrily, he wired back. ' Shut up, you are jamming my signal'. He wired back again. ' I'm busy right now'.
He got no response back.
