He
slept
some
time
,
and
when
he
woke
he
heard
Phillips
still
at
work
.
He
could
read
the
rhythmic
buzzing
sounds
as
easily
as
you
or
I
can
read
print
.
He
could
hear
that
Phillips
was
talking
to
Cape
Race
,
sending
dull
uninteresting
traffic
matter
;
and
he
was
about
to
sink
off
to
sleep
again
when
he
remembered
how
tired
Phillips
must
be
,
and
decided
that
he
would
get
up
and
relieve
him
for
a
spell
.
He
never
felt
the
shock
,
or
saw
anything
,
or
had
any
other
notification
of
anything
unusual
except
no
doubt
the
ringing
of
the
telegraph
bells
and
cessation
of
the
beat
of
the
engines
.
It
was
a
few
minutes
afterwards
that
,
as
we
have
seen
,
the
Captain
put
his
head
in
at
the
door
and
told
them
to
get
ready
to
send
a
call
,
returning
ten
minutes
later
to
tell
them
to
send
it
.
The
two
operators
were
rather
amused
than
otherwise
at
having
to
send
out
the
S.O.S.
;
it
was
a
pleasant
change
from
relaying
traffic
matter
.
"
We
said
lots
of
funny
things
to
each
other
in
the
next
few
minutes
,
"
said
Bride
.
Phillips
went
stolidly
on
,
firmly
hammering
out
his
"
S.O.S.
,
S.O.S.
,
"
sometimes
varying
it
with
"
C.Q.D.
"
for
the
benefit
of
such
operators
as
might
not
be
on
the
alert
for
the
new
call
.
For
several
minutes
there
was
no
reply
;
then
the
whining
voice
at
Phillips
'
ear
began
to
answer
.
Some
one
had
heard
.
They
had
picked
up
the
steamer
Frankfurt
,
and
they
gave
her
the
position
and
told
her
that
the
Titanic
had
struck
an
iceberg
and
needed
assistance
.
There
was
another
pause
and
,
in
their
minds
'
eye
,
the
wireless
men
could
see
the
Frankfurt
's
operator
miles
and
miles
away
across
the
dark
night
going
along
from
his
cabin
and
rousing
the
Frankfurt
's
Captain
and
giving
his
message
and
coming
back
to
the
instrument
,
when
again
the
whining
voice
began
asking
for
more
news
.
They
were
learning
facts
up
here
in
the
Marconi
room
.
They
knew
that
the
Titanic
was
taking
in
water
,
and
they
knew
that
she
was
sinking
by
the
head
;
and
what
they
knew
they
flashed
out
into
the
night
for
the
benefit
of
all
who
had
ears
to
hear
.
They
knew
that
there
were
many
ships
in
their
vicinity
;
but
they
knew
also
that
hardly
any
of
them
carried
more
than
one
operator
,
and
that
even
Marconi
operators
earning
L4
a
month
must
go
to
bed
and
sleep
sometimes
,
and
that
it
was
a
mere
chance
if
their
call
was
heard
.
But
presently
the
Cunard
liner
Carpathia
answered
and
told
them
her
position
,
from
which
it
appeared
that
she
was
about
seventy
miles
away
.
The
Carpathia
,
which
was
heading
towards
the
Mediterranean
,
told
them
she
had
altered
her
course
and
was
heading
full
steam
to
their
assistance
.
The
Carpathia
's
voice
was
much
fainter
than
the
Frankfurt
's
,
from
which
Phillips
assumed
that
the
Frankfurt
was
the
nearer
ship
;
but
there
was
a
certain
lack
of
promptitude
on
board
the
Frankfurt
which
made
Phillips
impatient
.
While
he
was
still
sending
out
the
call
for
help
,
after
the
Frankfurt
had
answered
it
,
she
interrupted
him
again
,
asking
what
was
the
matter
.
They
told
Captain
Smith
,
who
said
,
"
That
fellow
is
a
fool
,
"
an
opinion
which
Phillips
and
Bride
not
only
shared
,
but
which
they
even
found
time
to
communicate
to
the
operator
on
the
Frankfurt
.
By
this
time
the
Olympic
had
also
answered
her
twin
sister
's
cry
for
help
,
but
she
was
far
away
,
more
than
three
hundred
miles
;
and
although
she
too
turned
and
began
to
race
towards
the
spot
where
the
Titanic
was
lying
so
quietly
,
it
was
felt
that
the
honours
of
salving
her
passengers
would
go
to
the
Carpathia
.
The
foolish
Frankfurt
operator
still
occasionally
interrupted
with
a
question
,
and
he
was
finally
told
,
with
such
brusqueness
as
the
wireless
is
capable
of
,
to
keep
away
from
his
instrument
and
not
interfere
with
the
serious
conversations
of
the
Titanic
and
Carpathia
.
Then
Bride
took
Phillips
's
place
at
the
instrument
and
succeeded
in
getting
a
whisper
from
the
Baltic
,
and
gradually
,
over
hundreds
of
miles
of
ocean
,
the
invisible
ether
told
the
ships
that
their
giant
sister
was
in
distress
.
The
time
passed
quickly
with
these
urgent
conversations
on
which
so
much
might
depend
,
and
hour
by
hour
and
minute
by
minute
the
water
was
creeping
up
the
steep
sides
of
the
ship
.
Once
the
Captain
looked
in
and
told
them
that
the
engine-rooms
were
taking
in
water
and
that
the
dynamos
might
not
last
much
longer
.
That
information
was
also
sent
to
the
Carpathia
,
who
by
this
time
could
tell
them
that
she
had
turned
towards
them
with
every
furnace
going
at
full
blast
,
and
was
hurrying
forward
at
the
rate
of
eighteen
knots
instead
of
her
usual
fifteen
.
It
now
became
a
question
how
long
the
storage
plant
would
continue
to
supply
current
.
Phillips
went
out
on
deck
and
looked
round
.
"
The
water
was
pretty
close
up
to
the
boat
deck
.
There
was
a
great
scramble
aft
,
and
how
poor
Phillips
worked
through
it
I
do
n't
know
.
He
was
a
brave
man
.
I
learnt
to
love
him
that
night
,
and
I
suddenly
felt
for
him
a
great
reverence
,
to
see
him
standing
there
sticking
to
his
work
while
everybody
else
was
raging
about
.
While
I
live
I
shall
never
forget
the
work
Phillips
did
for
that
last
awful
fifteen
minutes
.
"
Bride
felt
that
it
was
time
to
look
about
and
see
if
there
was
no
chance
of
saving
himself
.
He
knew
that
by
this
time
all
the
boats
had
gone
.
He
could
see
,
by
looking
over
the
side
,
that
the
water
was
far
nearer
than
it
had
yet
been
,
and
that
the
fo
'
c
's
'
le
decks
,
which
of
course
were
much
lower
than
the
superstructure
on
which
the
Marconi
cabin
was
situated
,
were
already
awash
.
He
remembered
that
there
was
a
lifebelt
for
every
member
of
the
crew
and
that
his
own
was
under
his
bunk
;
and
he
went
and
put
it
on
.
And
then
,
thinking
how
cold
the
water
would
be
,
he
went
back
and
put
his
boots
on
,
and
an
extra
coat
.
Phillips
was
still
standing
at
the
key
,
talking
to
the
Olympic
now
and
telling
her
the
tragic
and
shameful
news
that
her
twin
sister
,
the
unsinkable
,
was
sinking
by
the
head
and
was
pretty
near
her
end
.
While
Phillips
was
sending
this
message
Bride
strapped
a
lifebelt
about
him
and
put
on
his
overcoat
.
Then
,
at
Phillips
's
suggestion
,
Bride
went
out
to
see
if
there
was
anything
left
in
the
shape
of
a
boat
by
which
they
could
get
away
.
He
saw
some
men
struggling
helplessly
with
a
collapsible
boat
which
they
were
trying
to
lower
down
on
to
the
deck
.
Bride
gave
them
a
hand
and
then
,
although
it
was
the
last
boat
left
,
he
resolutely
turned
his
back
on
it
and
went
back
to
Phillips
.
At
that
moment
for
the
last
time
,
the
Captain
looked
in
to
give
them
their
release
.
"
Men
,
you
have
done
your
full
duty
,
you
can
do
no
more
.
Abandon
your
cabin
now
;
it
is
every
man
for
himself
;
you
look
out
for
yourselves
.
I
release
you
.
That
's
the
way
of
it
at
this
kind
of
time
;
every
man
for
himself
