Violet could hear doors opening in the hallway. She could hear voices having questions. The time was 11:45 pm. 

" Ann, wake up".

She looked up from her blanket. " What happened?".

Violet shook her head. " I hope it's not another sea calamity".

" I'm sure it's nothing". She began to put on her apron, shoes and hat.

" Since we are up". Violet smiled. " We might as well do rounds".

Fifteen minutes later. they were helping Miss Walton with her life belt."

" Your life belt is on". Violet gave it a final tug. " Maybe you should go up to the Boat Deck?".

She gave them a scared stare. " What about Hercules?".

Violet looked at Ann. " We will go down to the kennel and get Hercules for you".

" Thank you". She presses coins into Violet's hands.

Violet and Ann began to look for Mrs Astor. They could not find her. Using calm unemotional voices, the two began to help other passengers with their life belts.
