Description
As Edwina watched the three giant propellers
outlined on the stern against the sky, there
was a roar like no other she had ever heard,
as though the entire ship were being torn
asunder. Many explained it afterwards as
sounding as though the ship were actually
breaking in half, but all were told that this
couldn’t have happened. And all Edwina
knew, as she watched the hideous sight, was
that she didn’t know where Charles or Phillip
or Alexis or her parents were, or if any of
them had made it to safety. She clung tightly
to George’s hand, and she pulled him close
to her and hid his eyes as they both cried in
lifeboat number eight, watching the tragedy
that had befallen the unsinkable Titanic.
