SOS Redouble
SOS Redouble by Kit Mareska Struck an iceberg — really. The fools. He didn’t know who deserved the blame more, Captain Smith or Bruce Ismay, but the Titanic had been pushing her speed for days, which for him meant one thing: less time to earn the trust of his marks. Just minutes ago, he’d been so close with the railroad magnate’s big-eared son in the smoking room, purposely losing to him in bridge, laying the groundwork for the horse-racing scheme. Warmed by the fireplace, puffing on a cigar, wondering whether he’d be able to snag Mr. Clark’s senator uncle, as well. Now, here he was, pulling on layers of clothes all because some idiot hadn’t been able to spot an entire mountain of ice in time. Tonight was obviously lost, but if they could wrap up this silly evacuation drill, fix the ship and let everyone get to bed at a decent hour, he could work on young Mr. Clark tomorrow without the entire effort being . . . derailed.
