New York, so I chose the latter.

"Again, the passengers were all hysterical about ice, and I pointed out
to Mr. Ismay the possibilities of seeing ice if I went to Halifax. Then
I knew it would be best to keep in touch with land stations as best I
could. We have experienced great difficulty in transmitting news, also
names of survivors. Our wireless is very poor, and again we have had
so many interruptions from other ships and also messages from shore
(principally press, which we ignored). I gave instructions to send first
all official messages, then names of passengers, then survivors' private
messages. We had haze early Tuesday morning for several hours;
again more or less all Wednesday from 5.30 A. M. to 5 P. M.; strong
south-southwesterly winds and clear weather Thursday, with moderate
rough sea.

"I am pleased to say that all survivors have been very plucky. The
majority of women, first, second and third class, lost their husbands,
and, considering all, have been wonderfully well. Tuesday our doctor
reported all survivors physically well. Our first class passengers have
behaved splendidly, given up their cabins voluntarily and supplied the
ladies with clothes, etc. We all turned out of our cabins and gave them
to survivors--saloon, smoking room, library, etc., also being used for
sleeping accommodation. Our crew, also turned out to let the crew of
the Titanic take their quarters. I am pleased to state that owing to
preparations made for the comfort of survivors, none were the worse for
exposure, etc. I beg to specially mention how willing and cheerful the
whole of the ship's company behaved, receiving the highest praise from
everybody. And I can assure you I am very proud to have such a company
under my command.

"A. H. ROSTRON."
