"The trip across the Atlantic was rough and certainly quiet. There was no light on the deck after dark and canvas was draped over the side of the ship to hldo the light from the ports. After we sailed from Queenstown wo sailed for two days straight north and during those two days the ship was tossed constantly. At times the bow of the ship would be thrown from the water and then the propeller. At the end of the second day It grew very cold and a fog Bettled down, but the ship did not sound her fog horn or light one deck light. The fog lifted sudden ly one morning and we found that the Celtic had missed a British tank steamer less than 150 yards. At one time the ship did strike an iceberg but we were going so slow that no damage was done. As soon as we crossed the ship stayed within the three mile limit of neutrality."
