the miracle on Titanic page 28 by ric gustafson
Second Officer Lightoller entered the bridge. The time was 5:50 pm. He yawned. He knew his watch was going to last until 10:00. Lightoller was a career seaman. He had been with the White Star Line for twelve years. Sixth Officer Moody was also on the bridge.
" Mr Moody". Lightoller glanced at a chart. " Do you know when we will reach 42' North to 49' to 51' degrees West".
The young officer, who was in his mid twenties, picked up a chart. " I believe around 11:00 Sir".
Just then, Wire Operator Harold Bride ran in. " Sir, a wire from the Californian".
Lightoller looked at the wire. " They are reporting three large bergs ahead of us".
Lightoller handed the wire to Officer Moody. " Mr Moody, will you please take this wire to Captain Smith". He stared at the young wire operator. " Mr Bride, if you receive any more ice warnings". He frowned. " Please give them to me immediately".
" Aye Sir".
