At the door of the captain's room she stopped and took a deep breath. Then she lifted her hand to knock at the wooden door. The hectic voices inside became silent and someone shouted "Come in". She stepped into the room and saw six men sit at a big desk. There was a big map of the ship on it. She recognised the man she had brought a drink half an hour before. It was the man that had jumped to his feet quickly after the shudder. He looked at her in amazement, then he turned to another man. He seemed to be the oldest, and everyone in the room looked at him respectfully. "I know that girl, sir. She's a waitress." He watched Julie derogatorily. "So, what do you want, girl? We're quite busy, even without your problems." Julie cleared her throat. She took a step forward and said "Sir, I am sorry for bothering you. But I just wanted to make sure that you all know... Well, I think Titanic will sink. I felt the shudder, and I noticed the ship doesn't lay horizontally anymore." She looked at them all frightenedly. Nobody said a word. After what seemed to be an hour to Julie, one of the men began to laugh. He was an uniform-wearing officier and he laughed and laughed until the captain looked at him angrily. "Sorry, sir" he said. "It's only - damn, we are sitting here, talking about what to do, and then a little waitress appears and tells us what nobody of us wants to realise - this ship will sink. Straight down to the bottom of the Atlantic, and the fish will eat our uniforms in a few hours. Why are you all so unrealistic?" "Calm down, Mr Murdoch, we can't be sure at the moment" the guy they had called "captain" said sharply. "Oh yes, we can" the man who had talked to Julie first interrupted. "Like I said... six compartments have been damaged. You can see it here..." He pointed at the map. "I constructed the ship. I know Titanic, maybe better than anyone else here." He swallowed. "She cannot stay afloat with six water-filled compartments. It is just impossible. Titanic is said to be unsinkable, but..." He sighed. Everyone looked at the captain, even Julie watched him interestedly. The man looked very old and tired at that moment. "Alright, then... Mr Lightoller, go into the wireless room and tell them to send signals to other ships. I hope one that is nearby answers." He stood up.
