My words.

I started with a vague theory, but after what Ive experienced tonight, its no longer a theory. Ive had a dream, really two dreams. In the first, I was on the Titanic, yet not in a physical sense. There was this dinner in the first-class More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page White Oak saloon, hosted by Captain Smith, Lets mike carona

... I remember who was there. Guggenheim, John Jacob Astor, Andrews, and ... I cant think of his name. The guy who was head of the White Star line. J. Bruce Ismay, Montague said. Thats the one. Anyway, I could see More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page White Oak and hear what was going on at their table, but I wasnt richard jeni

part. I guess I was kind of an unseen observer, except ... He stopped, coming up against a blocked memory. There were six people at the table. I cant remember who was the More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page White Oak sixth. Yourself, perhaps, Gillespie suggested. No, it wasnt me. Someone else. An elderly man with a huge white or gray el pollo loco

and Montague exchanged glances. Isidor Straus had a beard, Montague said. No, it couldnt have been him. This man had a decided British accent. Very imposing fellow, I More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page White Oak seem to recall. Dominated the conversation. Some kind of writer, I think. ... Identification flashed on the faces of his two companions. William Stead! Montague richard jeni

Hennings strained expression remained one of effortful recollection that hadnt quite succeeded. Maybe. I just dont know. Why the hell cant More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page White Oak I remember him? He must have been there, just like the others. Then his face slackened. Unless, Henning said slowly, I was William Stead. Gillespie learned forward. Ben, what was said at microburst

table? They were talking about that book; there was a copy of it next to a More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page White Oak wineglass. Smith didnt take very kindly to the similarities between the Titanic and the make-believe Titan. Then ... then Ismay let a cat out of the bag. He said they were trying for a speed record. A mike carona

record? Thats right. Ismay said not to mention this to More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page White Oak any other passenger; if they set a crossing record, he wanted to announce it himself. The captain didnt look very happy. I got the impression this was Ismays idea, not his-that Smith was following orders. My God, Gillespie said, if there was one must love dogs

thats always been More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page White Oak conceded about the Titanic, its that no such effort was ever even considered, let alone attempted. The subject was brought up at both inquiries, Montague said, and there was press speculation that a crossing-record attempt may have been a factor. But every surviving Titanic officer denied More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page White Oak it. All the testimony danny gans

that the ships speed entering a known iceberg lane merely reflected common practice by North Atlantic captains of that era: If the visibility was good, there was no need to slow down. And for that matter, Gillespie added, the Titanic was never More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page White Oak built for speed. White Star emphasized comfort, not speed. Henning said mike carona

Im just telling you what was said at that table. They got to talking about the book, how theyd react if something happened to the Titanic, like it did in the novel. How each would More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page White Oak face certain death. Then ... then Stead argued that guilt would be a very powerful emotion richard jeni

anyone who knew he was about to die. Guilt for different reasons, depending on the individual, but it would be the predominant experience as they died. He hesitated. Then there More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page White Oak was a second dream. I was on the boat deck. Once again, I seemed to be in Steads mind, seeing and hearing el pollo loco

he did. When the ship sank, he was in the smoking lounge with Andrews. They were talking about guilt, just as they all More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page White Oak had at dinner the night before. Then she went down.
