the miracle on Titanic page 8 by ric gustafson
The gigantic ship churned up huge waves as it approached two small liners moored together.
One of the two named the ' New York' began to bobb up and down wildly. As the huge swell from the Titanic bucked her wildly, her ropes snapped.
Captain Smith noticed it. He yelled at Officer Boxhall. " Into reverse".
A nearby tug quickly threw a line across the small ship stopping it before it collided with the huge liner.
" Hard to port Mr Boxhall".
The two ships barely missed hitting each other.
Captain Smith put a hand on the young officer's shoulder. " That was very close Mr Boxhall".
The young officer swung the wheel back to starboard. " Aye Sir".
Captain Smith smiled. " All ahead slow Mr Boxhall".
The telegraph was cranked. " All ahead slow".
