the miracle on Titanic page 32 by ric gustafson


A wire came in while Bride and Phillips were working on personal messages. Bride wrote it down. " From the Baltic, Greek steamer Athinal reports passing icebergs and lots of field ice latitude 41'51' North longitude 49'52' West".
Bride handed the message to Phillips. " You better give this to Captain Smith".
He walked up and handed it to Captain Smith. " Sir, here is another ice warning from the Baltic".
" Thank you Phillips". He put the wire into a shirt pocket. " That will be all". He walked back to the wire room. Bride was writing down another warning. " What did you get now?".
" An ice warning from the German liner Amerika". He frowned as he handed him the warning. " They have passed by two large icebergs 41'51 North longitude 50'8' West". He gave the senior wireless operator a perplexed stare. " Should we give this one to the Captain?".
" No". Phillips glanced at the warning. " I'm already in enough trouble".
