This unidentified vessel was headed towards the Titanic. So close was she that her lights were easily discernible from the Titanic’s bridge. Yet this mysterious ship failed to respond to the burning rockets that were sent up for more than an hour as signals of distress, or to the urgent electric flashes “hich in the Morse code spelled the words. “Come at once; we are sinking."
