Answer:
Upon impact,
A lot of people only know that the ship came to a halt. Most people were indifferent.
The wife of Astor went back to bed, Lieutenant Steffanson who had been drinking a Lemonade resumed his pre-occupation.
Some of the card players were too concerned about their game to be concerned. For the most part of the chapter, many people were unaware, others who noticed didn't realise the gravity of the damage and how it would define their lives.
Walter Lord showed the reaction of people to the experience of the impact partly to show that they had the utmost confidence in the vessel and partly because it presents a great contrast to their reaction afterwards when the ship starts to sink.

Summary. Walden is an account of the two years during which Henry David Thoreau built his own cabin, raised his own food, and lived a life of simplicity in the woods near Concord, Massachusetts. Thoreau's idea was that one's true self could be lost amid the distractions of ordinary life. Thoreau's attitude toward reform involved his transcendental efforts to live a spiritually meaningful life in nature. As a transcendentalist, Thoreau believed that reality existed only in the spiritual world, and the solution to people's problems was the free development of emotions ("Transcendentalism").
