the miracle on Titanic page 40 by ric Gustafson
Charlene sat against a pole. A Countess handed her a bowl of soup. She glanced around at the hundreds of people milling around the deck.
" Are you looking for someone?". She smiled as she kept handing out the soup. " Maybe I know them?".
Charlene looked around . " I'm looking for a young man named David Sharpston".
" Sorry, don't know him" She sighed. " Not many men were on the lifeboats". She pointed. " Here you have mothers without babies, women without husbands and sisters without brothers".
" Do you see those two little French boys over there who are two and four?".
Charlene nodded.
The Countess sighed. " No parents in sight".
Charlene frowned. " I sure hope David is ok".
The Countess pointed again. " See that woman over there".
Charlene nodded again.
" She's a survivor named Margaret Brown". She smiled. " She's already raising money for survivors".
Charlene finished her soup. She stood up. " I'm going to keep looking for him".
" Good luck to you". The Countess walked away.
Charlene walked around the deck for hours looking for David.
Hours later, she sat down again next to a pole.
Tears flowed down her tired face.
