HIGH IN THE CROW’S nest of the New White Star Liner Titanic, Lookout Frederick Fleet peered into a ____ night. It was calm, clear and bitterly cold. There was no moon, but the ____ sky blazed with stars. The Atlantic was like polished plate ____; people later said they had never seen it so smooth. This was the fifth night of the Titanic’s ____ voyage to New York, and it was already clear that she was not only the largest but also the most ____ ship in the world. Even the passengers’ dogs were glamorous. For the next 37 seconds, Fleet and Lee stood quietly side by side, watching the ice draw nearer. Now they were almost on top of it, and still the ship didn’t turn. The berg ____ wet and ____ far above the forecastle deck, and both men braced themselves for a crash. Then, miraculously, the bow began to swing to port. At the last second the stem shot into the clear, and the ice glided swiftly by along the starboard side. It looked to Fleet like a very close ____. At this moment Quartermaster George Thomas Rowe was standing watch on the after bridge. For him, too, it had been an ____ night—just the sea, the stars, the ____ cold. As he paced the deck, he noticed what he and his mates called “Whiskers ’round the Light”—tiny ____ of ice in the air, fine as ____, that gave off ____ of bright colors whenever caught in the glow of the deck lights. Then suddenly he felt a curious motion break the steady ____ of the engines. It was a little like coming alongside a dock wall rather heavily. He glanced forward—and stared again. A ____, sails set, seemed to be passing along the starboard side. Then he realized it was an iceberg, towering perhaps 100 feet above the water. The next instant it was gone, drifting astern into the dark.
