" Mr Murdoch, have you already closed the watertight doors?".
" Aye Sir".
" Mr Boxhall". He petted his hound's head. " I want you to go below and report to me as far as damage".
A short time later, he came back. " The Ortop deck is flooded forward of number 4 bulkhead". His voice hesitated. " Also the mail clerks are moving the mail to G Deck".
" Mr Boxhall, what is our position right now?".
" 41'46' North and 50'14' West".
Captain Smith walked down to the wireless room.
" Is something going on Captain?" asked Phillips.
" We have struck an iceberg". He handed him a piece of paper. " Send out a CQD with our position on it".
Thomas Andrews approached. " Captain, I have bad news".
" How bad is it Mr Andrews?".
" If water reaches E Deck, the watertight compartments will fill up just like ice cube trays".
" Mr Andrews, how much time do we have?".
" According to my calculations, one hour possibly two".
