the miracle on Titanic page 33 by ric gustafson
It was two in the afternoon on April 14. Charlene and David were walking on the Boat Deck. Charlene buttoned her coat. " It sure feels really cold out here".
David buttoned his own coat. " We are in icy waters".
Just then, Bruce Ismay walked by. " Good afternoon you two". He tipped his bowler hat. " We seem to be making good time".
Charlene frowned. " It's getting colder out here".
" That's true". He buttoned his own coat. " Captain Smith has already given me some ice warnings".
At 5:50 pm, Second Officer Lightoller stepped onto the bridge. He knew his watch was going to last until 10:00 pm. He was a career seaman and had been with the White Star Line for twelve years. He and Officer Moody were going to be on the bridge this evening.
At 7:20 pm, Harold Bride received an important wire. He walked up and handed it to Office Lightoller.
" Sir, the Californian reports three large bergs at latitude 42' 3' North and longitude 49' 9' West".
He handed Officer Moody the wire. " Please take this to Captain Smith".
" Mr Bride, if you receive any more ice warnings". He smiled at the young wireless operator. " Please give them to me immediately".
" Aye Sir".
