Fifty eight miles away, Harold Cottam, who was the only wireless operator on the liner Carpathia, was ready to turn off his set for the night. He had been trying to talk to the Titanic for a while. He decided to give them one more chance. All of a sudden, a crackle came on his headphones. He quickly wrote down the message. He quickly tapped back. ' Are you sure'. Then he tapped back again. ' Do you require assistance?'.
An answer was tapped back. ' Yes, come quickly'.
Cottam knew that their liner had basically stopped because of all the ice. He took off his headphones and quickly ran to tell his Captain the news.
Just then, an officer banged on David's door.
He opened it. " Yes".
" Please put your lifebelt on and follow me".
He closed the door and walked up to the Boat Deck. Officers were starting to take the tarps off the lifeboats. He noticed Mr Boxhall shooting a distress rocket into the cold night sky.
He ran back downstairs. He knocked on his mother's door.
She opened it with a hesitant look. " David, what is going on?".
" Mother, you need to put on your lifebelt and follow me".
" David, I'm not properly dressed".
He noticed that the hallway was getting more noisy and more chaotic. " Mother, we need to go now".
She put on a fur and her lifebelt. She followed her son.
David banged on Charlene's door. Her brother opened it.
" What's going on David?".
" You and your sister need to follow us up to the Boat Deck".
