Iceberg was silent; I too was silent. It was true dark and cold. At nine o’clock I was below in my cabin, When the captain hailed me with the words: “Come above, Hall, at once! The world is on fire!" I knew his meaning, and, quick as thought, I rushed to the companion stairs. In a moment I reached the deck, And as the cabin door swung open, A dazzling light, overpowering light burst upon my startled senses!
