Bride testified that the Frankfort was
the first To answer and the Frankfort
told him TO stand by that they were
coming.
When questioned by Senator Smith,
Bride said the reason they dismissed
The Frankfort was that they were al

pafhia, and believed that IL was 10
their advantage TO keep this commune
cation unhroken inasmuch as the Car
pathia's officers understood the dan
ger.
Bride said he remained on duty
with Phillips until ten minutes before
the giant Titanic took her last plunge.
and that he finally picked up the Bal
