On Sunday, April 14, 1912 (the day of the Titanic’s sinking), Hazel wakes feeling a new sense of freedom since her ticket was paid but also feeling an impending sense of disaster. At breakfast, she sits with her notebook, wondering how to start her story. She’s relieved to see Charlie come in, and he announces that though the captain was extremely angry, he agreed to give Charlie one more chance under much stricter orders. Charlie has an important message for the captain from another ship, which warns of growler icebergs (the mass of which is largely below the ice) in the upcoming waters. Hazel wonders if the captain will act to change course in time. She attends Sunday church service, and the priest talks about the high and low roads in life. Hazel decides to take the high road from now on and do so by telling the truth.
Hazel decides to return to the lower decks where she hid on the first night and see if she can find out anything more about the coal fire. While sitting and waiting, she reflects on whether she’s taking the high road or low road by reporting on honest people just doing their jobs.
