AN UNHEEDED WARNING
On Sunday afternoon the Titanic's wireless operator forwarded to the Hydrographic office in Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and elsewhere the following dispatch:
"April 14.—The German steamship Amerika (Hamburg-American Line) reports by radio-telegraph passing two large icebergs in latitude 41.27, longitude 50.08.—Titanic, Br. S. S."
Despite this warning, the Titanic forged ahead Sunday night at her usual speed—from twenty-one to twenty-five knots.
