Rowland's survival on the iceberg

Rowland finds himself on the iceberg, bleeding from a head wound and still holding little Myra. He examines the wreckage and finds no intact boats. He calls out for the child's mother, but there is no response. He wraps the child in his coat and takes shelter in the wrecked bridge. He finds a bottle of whisky in his pocket, which he decides to keep for medicinal purposes. He spends the night in agony, tormented by thoughts of the woman he loves and the child's mother. The drug still affects him, and he eventually falls asleep. This scene establishes Rowland's isolation and his commitment to protecting the child.
