Bride went to Philips, "Contacting the Carpathia?", Bride frowned, Philips nodded, "Yep...". "What're you telling them?", "I said, 'Come at once. We have struck a berg. It's a CQD old man.". "Oh...", Bride sighed. 

Cottman (Carpathia Wireless Operator) just got back to his room, he put his headset on while fixing his tie. He soon realized that the titanic sent a distress call, he rushed to reply. He  then rushed to one of the officers, "Sir! A distress call just came through". The Officer looked at him, "who from?", "The titanic!", "What? For more tea?", "No! They struck a berg and are sinking!", "The titanic? Don't be a fool", the officer looked back at the water. "It's true! I'm telling The captain!". He then ran off to the captain. "SIR! SIR!!", he busted in, "What the- didn't you learn to knock before you come in here?". "It's a distress call sir from the titanic she is sinking!", the officer walked in then, "I'm so-", Cottman handed the captain the message. "Mr. Dean turn this ship around. Head northwest..I will be with you in a minute.". "Now cotton. You are sure this is the titanic?", Cottman nodded, he didn't like the nickname the captain gave him but there was no time to talk about a silly nickname. "Alright, check back. Tell them we are coming as fast as possible. Get all the information you can". Cottman nodded and ran back to the wireless. 

Philips went to the captain who was looking out from the bridge, "Sir we've contacted the Carpathia she is on her way.", "How far away is she.", "58 miles away, sir" She's making all possible speeds she will reach us in four hours." The captain frowned then pointed out at a ship, "Well, how about that ship right there that's about 10 miles away the one with the light.", Philips looked where he was pointing, "No, sir. Maybe she doesn't keep a 24- hour watch. Maybe she doesn't even have wireless at all". Smith looked at the light on the horizon. "Thanks Mr. Philips", Philip nodded then went back to the wireless. "Mr. Moody!", "Yes, sir?", "Tell Mr. Boxhall to fire the distress rockets.One every five minutes from the port side.", Mr. Moody nodded then went to find Boxhall.

12:05 AM

(While Carpathia was  replying to the titanic) Wilde saw Lightoller, "What are you doing??", "I'm-", "That doesn't matter anymore! You have to get to the lifeboats on the prortside! Murdoch has the starboard side!". "..what..why?", "The ship is sinking, I saw it for myself. I went down to the fore peak...it was flooding...I told the captain. We got to act fast!". Lightoller nodded then went to the port side. He couldn't believe that his nightmare was coming true. 

12:25 AM

Passengers were starting to get in the lifeboats. Lightoller tried to act like he's not scared. About 20 minutes later, the first lifeboat was lowered holding only 28 people. A loud sound startled Lightoller, he turned around and saw the first distress rocket was fired. He tried to stay calm and continue with the lifeboats.
