the miracle on Titanic page 27

the miracle on Titanic page 27 by ric gustafson


Twenty four year old Jack Phillips was sending out a three dollar four hundred mile message. Just then, his partner twenty two year old Harold Bride walked in. The Marconi equipment they were using was the best wireless communication in the world. Phillips, who had a pug nose and twinkling eyes, glanced at a stack of incoming messages.
Phillips held up one of the messages. " Bride, what is this one?".
Bride, who had hollow cheeks and large eyes glanced at the message. " It's a message from the Caronia". He frowned. " Bergs, growlers and field ice  has been reported at 42 degrees North  and 49 to 51 degrees West".
" How come you haven't taken this message to the bridge?".
Bride raised his arms in frustration. " I guess I've been bogged down with personal messages".
" I'll take it to the bridge". He put the message into a shirt pocket. " You keep working on those personal messages".
" Ok".
Phillips walked out of the wireless room. He then headed toward the dining room.
