" Ten degrees port Mr Hichens". The Quartermaster held tightly onto the wheel. " Steady as she goes".
First Officer Murdoch stared at the Fourth Officer. " Mr Boxhall, do you have our binoculars?".
" No sir" was the reply. " I gave them to Fleet who is up there".
" Do we have another pair?".
"No, I believe it is the only pair we have on board".
Anger came over the First Officer's face. " You make sure he brings that pair back to the bridge when he is done".
" Aye sir".
Captain Smith entered the bridge. Behind him was Bruce Ismay. Ismay was the Director of the White Star Line.
Ismay picked up a chart and began to study it. " When do we arrive at Queensland Captain?".
Captain Smith stroked his grey beard. " We should arrive there by noon tomorrow".
Ismay frowned. " What is this course on this chart?".
" This is the course Mr Boxhall has laid out for us".
He gave the Fourth Officer a frustrated look. " Why?".
" It is a safer route". Boxhall's voice hesitated. " We can watch out better for ice".
" Nonsense" Ismay growled. " It will add a day and I will not allow it".
" Sir, what about the ice?".
" If you get any reports of ice". He walked toward the bridge railing. " You bring them directly to me".
