the miracle on Titanic page 22 by ric gustafson
Twenty four year old Jack Phillips was busy sending a three dollar four hundred mile message. Then, his partner Harold Bride walked in. Phillips was using a new wireless communication called the Marconi. Next to Phillips was a stack of incoming messages. Phillips picked up the message that was on top.
" Bride, what is this message?".
Bride glanced at the message. " Oh, it's from the Caronia".
Phillips looked at it again. " It looks important".
" It says bergs, growlers and field ice has been reported".
" Is the position on there?".
" Yes, 42 degrees North and 49 to 51 degrees West".
Phillips stared at his younger co worker. " Why haven't you taken this message to the bridge?".
" Just like you". He smiled. " Sending personal messages for our paying customers".
" I'll take it to the bridge". He opened the door to leave. " You keep working on those personal messages".
