1. Story
2. One of at least six ice reports received on 14 April — the Caronia had signalled that morning and the Amerika followed minutes later. Captain Smith passed the Baltic's message to Bruce Ismay, who kept it in his pocket and showed it to fellow passengers before it was returned and posted in the chart room hours later.

77. Evidence
78. Found the loss due to collision with an iceberg brought about by the excessive speed at which the ship was navigated; recorded the ship's particulars, the voyage timings, the ice messages received and the lifeboat complement; held that Titanic exceeded the Board of Trade requirement; found the Californian could have reached her; concluded (incorrectly) that the hull sank intact.
