Lightoller dived into the frigid water from the bridge, miraculously managing to avoid being sucked down along with the massive ship. He clung to an overturned lifeboat until the survivors were rescued. Lightoller was the last person pulled aboard the Carpathia and the highest-ranking officer to survive the wreck. • Second Officer Lightoller came on duty at 6:00pm. His watch would last until 10:00 that night. At 7:35pm, he noticed how quickly the temperature was falling now that the sun had set. An hour later the temperature was almost freezing yet the weather What actually was clear and the sea unusually calm. Unfortunately, even though the Captain had received a number of happened? ice warning messages that afternoon - most notably from the Baltic, Caronia, America and the Calafornian - only the Caronia's warning had been posted in the chartroom (according to later testimony from the surviving officers).Therefore the officer's were unaware of the other warnings. He returned to his cabin, and at 11:40pm, was just nodding off when he felt a grinding vibration. Still in his pyjamas, he went on deck where he met Third Officer Herbert Pitman who had also been disturbed by the vibration. They concluded that the vessel had hit something, but could see no sign of anything. There was no sign of undue alarm on the bridge so they returned to their cabins to await orders. .
