This message from the Baltic was immediately given to Captain Smith who, instead of giving it to
the officers on watch, carried it with him. Captain Smith encountered Bruce Ismay (managing director

later hearing regarding the loss of the Titanic, the Captain handed him the message without comment.
Ismay briefly glanced at the message and then put it in his pocket. |
