Aboard the Olympic
- Back to the future again. It's 1912 and we're aboard the Olympic.
- Burnham waits to hear of Millet and his ship that struck the iceberg.
- Burnham hopes his own ship will reach the site of the Titanic soon, and there he'll find Millet alive.
- But news arrives that another ship has already reached it.
- It isn't long before Burnham learns that Millet is dead, drowned along with the fair's Opening Day critic William Stead.
- Alone, Burnham writes, "Frank Millet, whom I loved, was aboard her…thus cutting off my connection with one of the best fellows of the Fair" (5.4.5).
- Burnham dies forty-seven days later.
- He's buried in Chicago, close to the grave of his partner John Root.
