Bertha Mulvihill, Third Class Passenger:
"Dawn was just breaking when I saw a light way off in the distance. I spoke
to the nearest sailor about it and asked if it possibly could be a vessel
coming to us. He said it must be a ship's light, but someone spoke up and
said it was probably a boat's light. Then two big green lights broke through
the mist above it, and we knew it was a ship coming to rescue us. We cheered
and cheered. Some cried. I just sat still and offered up a little prayer."
