Written by a first-class passenger on Carpathia stationery: "Awakened about 11:40 by a violent jar....I went out to the promenade deck and soon learned that we had run into ice...and I had heard a passenger state that he saw an iceberg pass the stern of the vessel...about 70 feet above water.... [I] returned to my stateroom...[h]aving been told there was no danger."
