Re: Officer Murdoch's Death
<<I think that these two each had something the other admired and wished he could emulate.
That's what made them such good friends>>
I do believe that you are 100% correct, de Grancy!  (including the many opportunities that Lightoller must have given Murdoch for laughter!

Re: Officer Murdoch's Death
My Will was always prone to laughter...plus he had a terrific sense of humor too. He may have taken his work seriously, but he did love to laugh.
I think that why he seemed serious most all the time, is because he wore the cloud of my father's-in-law (what do you call it?)...professionalism on his shoulders. He never wanted to disappoint Da.

Re: Officer Murdoch's Death
Well, that, and I don't think acting funny or cracking up laughing would have been seen in a good light on the bridge. Someone was said to have remarked: "The bridge of a White Star Ship is quieter than a morgue."

Re: Officer Murdoch's Death
Ahhh, but the officer's mess. That was where the plans were hatched.

Re: Officer Murdoch's Death
Indded! One place you probably wouldn't run into the Captain! :crazy: (besides, the bridge-lads needed someplace to come up with deviltry such as Fort Denison!).

Re: Officer Murdoch's Death
There was many a slip between the local hotels and the ship.

Re: Officer Murdoch's Death
Dearest Aid,
Telling would be against White Star Policy.
Must uphold the honor of the line, isn't that right Lights?
