Sun, Apr 14, 1912 09:40PMHarold Bride I was asleep in my cabin and heard a very loud noise. I grabbed my jacket and headed to the bridge. What's going on?

Sun, Apr 14, 1912 11:47PMHarold Bride I know we need to send a distress signal but we're waiting for Captain Smith's order. What is taking him so long? We hear chaos.

Mon, Apr 15, 1912 12:28AMHarold Bride Headed back to my cabin to get my clothes on as @JackPhilips just reminded me that I was not dressed.

Mon, Apr 15, 1912 01:03AMHarold Bride The engine rooms are flooding. The water is pretty close up to the boat deck. How poor Phillips is working through it I don't know.
Mon, Apr 15, 1912 01:37AMHarold Bride just grabbed my lifebelt from under my bunk along with some boots and an extra jacket.
Mon, Apr 15, 1912 01:50AMHarold Bride I strapped Phillips' lifejacket on his back and told him to put his boots on. He just laughs and tells me to check on the lifeboats.
Mon, Apr 15, 1912 01:57AMHarold Bride Coming back to check on Phillips, a stoker is slipping the lifebelt off Phillips' back. GET YOUR OWN DAMN LIFEBELT

Mon, Apr 15, 1912 02:16AMHarold Bride Phillips just ran aft. Found some men trying to get a collapsible boat off the deck, and just as I got to it a wave pulled us loose.
Mon, Apr 15, 1912 02:19AMHarold Bride We were just able to right our boat and I barely pulled myself in. Someone is on my legs but I haven't the energy to ask him to move.
