"Lu Weitang Collection-Diary-North Sea Trial":

“…… The sea area where our ship is sailing now, the sea water is blue, standing on the flying bridge, looking at the distant sea, seeing the ups and downs of the waves, quite feeling that the mind is open, seeing the remnant sun like blood, slowly falling at the stern of the ship, the glow of the sun is ten thousand ways, illuminating the sea surface like a red snake dancing, very spectacular. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoOur ship sailed into the North Sea, that is, when it rained heavily, the rain was very cool, the surrounding sky was full of water, the waves passed over the top of the ship, the hull was fluttering in front and back, the water in the middle compartment was deep, and the sound of rushing and surging was endless. ”

At that time, the sea was pouring torrential rain, and the surrounding noise was like thunder, and it was like the wind blowing a bamboo tube, whining and whining, and it was impossible to tell what was making such a sound, and when the rain rushed, the sea fog dispersed faster. Before everyone could understand what was going on, they saw a huge wall of water appear on the sea not far ahead, and the sea water emptied it, and our ship was like a lonely leaf in front of this huge wall of water rising from the sea. The light of the sky in the east was completely covered by the wall of water, and as soon as the sea fog dissipated, the sky immediately darkened, and our ship seemed to be in the abyss of the dark sea......"

"The young sailors on board our ship were terrified by this horrific sight, trembling and trembling. Seeing that the wall of water was getting closer, the closer it became, the more powerful it felt, and the wall of the sea stood so that people did not dare to look at it, so he immediately ordered to sail straight at full speed, and if our ship turned to avoid it, it would inevitably be shattered or overturned by the great wave. ”

"Shi Qinxian was on the ship, and he said: 'At dusk yesterday, I watched from the sea. Seeing that there are black clouds in the sea fog in the east, like a monster descending in the thick clouds, it is the condensation of sea air as mentioned in ancient books, and I wonder if the huge water wall that appears now is caused by the accumulation of sea air. Qin Xian spoke as freely as usual, and everyone was at ease. Yu admired ......"

"At that time, looking at the sea surface on the ship, all the turbid waves were monstrous, the water potential was emptied and pressed, and there was not only a huge wall of water between the sky and the sea, but dozens of huge waves appeared at the same time, and the sea water poured into the sky, and the sea surface in the gap of the water wall was extremely calm, and the water wall rising in the sea also seemed to be frozen at the highest place, and the sea air went straight up and down, and the sea surface did not have the meaning of violent fluctuations. Our ship was in the midst of this suffocating upheaval, and the drum wheel rushed forward. Surrounded by blue crystal waters, I don't know where I am. ”

"The wind and waves are urgent, and although our crew Ben is frightened, the operation is correct, Yu personally steers the wheel, drives the ship between the peaks and valleys, chops the waves, and prepares for extreme danger, and then the crew works together to finally turn the danger into a ......."

“…… The wind and waves stopped, Yu and Qin Xian and the others took a breather, and the sea fog rose on the sea directly in front of our ship, and if our ship sailed further, it would enter the fog, and the visibility ahead was getting lower and lower. ”

"This fog is very strange, about a few feet high, the fog is misty, pressing on the surface of the sea, looking from where our ship is, the sea fog and the sky are distinct, and from the fog the sea air rises, the surging abnormal sea air produces several wisps of black smoke straight into the sky, as if the claws of the black troll drill out of the fog. The strange claws pointed at the sky, and it looked like a terrifying anomaly, and the wind and waves on the sea were surprisingly calm, and the sunset was about to fall with the last rays of afterglow. ”

Qin Xian did not see such a vision, and asked why, and replied that the sea advection fog is also, the sea fog advection, and the visibility can be reduced to the minimum. At this time, Qin Xian was concerned that the sea fog suddenly adved, and he did not know the direction, and it was easy to collide with passing ships. Yu told that the sea was wide here, and he slowly sailed past at night, and sent more people to look, so as not to touch it by mistake. Wait until dawn and the fog clears. ”

Although Yu said that he did not need to worry, he had to be extra careful in his actions, so he ordered the rest of the ship to go to the deck and look around. Because of the night voyage in the sea fog, it is necessary not to be careless in the slightest, and the foggy sea is so calm that it can even be said to be a little terrifyingly quiet, as if an unknown great calamity is brewing. ”

"Our ship did not let its guard down in the slightest, slowed down to the minimum, and moved slowly, with all the searchlights turned on and the mast lights hung on the top of the mast. The fog is extremely heavy, the night is vast, and although the lights are bright, it is like being in the dark. Qin Xian said with a smile that the ancient books contained in the ancient books that the ancients also used lamps when they sailed at night, which could drive away ghosts, and the diviners also used the light of the lamp to extinguish the good fortune. Yu knew that his words were vain, and he did to relieve the tense atmosphere, so he laughed, and said that the lamp is also widely used in the maritime industry, and there are many benefits. If the mast is windproof and waterproof, it will not go out easily, and it will hang high places, and the special strong searchlights on the bow and side of the ship will attract a small group of fish, but it can keep the deep-sea tribes away. Because even if there is no reef, it is dangerous for a huge whale salamander to emerge from the cold underwater and overturn the boat. The sea conditions here are treacherous, and if there is a shipwreck here, the shipwreck will not be spared, and even if they do not drown in the sea, they will inevitably die in the belly of the fish. When everyone heard what Yu and Qin Xian said, their hearts were a little at ease. ”

"Our ship slowly sailed into the fog, the sea was quiet, only the sound of the propeller stirring the water, it seemed that even the sea water was still, and the surrounding was all foggy, not distinguishing the southeast and northwest, even if there was more than ten zhang of visibility in the fog, but as far as the sea is concerned, only the visual range of this distance is not much different from being blind."

"The crew of the ship are all careful with 12 points, looking around, our ship is slowly moving forward in the night fog, and the rest of the sea fog is expected to disperse as soon as possible, but the rest of the sea boat for a long time, knowing that the fog is rushing and windy, if the fog disperses, I am afraid that the sea will be stormy again."

"When our ship was not long, a three-masted ship suddenly appeared in front of us, heading straight ahead. It appeared without warning, like a ghost formed by the condensation of sea fog, drifting in the fog. Yu was shocked, and pulled the rudder with all his might, which could be avoided and avoided touching. ”

"When the ship turned with all its might, the hull tilted violently, and the rest of the feet were unstable and almost fell. At that time, the two ships were undulating with the waves, the distance had been opened, and the ship was a three-masted steamer, flying the British flag, the mast of the ship was broken, the sails were broken, and the hull was cracked, and the sea water continued to pour in, and the hull was tilted, but it did not sink, but it swayed from side to side, as if it wanted to fall apart. When their sailors saw our ship coming, they all shouted for help. Our ship then came to the rescue......"

"Lin Wenzhong's Collected Works - Diary: North Sea Trial Distress":

“…… When the ship entered the North Sea, it encountered a big storm, a hurricane swept away, the waves swelled like a mountain, the wind and fire were reversed, and the ship was not moving forward. If Gai changed course halfway, the side of the ship was blown by the wind, and the consequences were unimaginable. …… The storm rested, the sea fog rose, the sky was like ink, and the course was uncertain. Inevitably coming into contact with the passing boats, Lu Wenjing ordered to slow down and ordered everyone to look around. After a short time, a three-masted ship approached in the fog, but fortunately our ship was prepared and avoided it sideways. The ship is the British Steamship Company's freighter "Agamemnon", and our ship encountered strong storms and waves, the front and rear masts of the ship were broken, the canvas rigging was completely destroyed, the deck was mostly broken by the wind and waves, and many sailors fell into the water and died. …… The back of the ship was torn by the waves, the sea water poured in, the turbines were damaged, the speed was greatly reduced, and the preparation was extremely miserable. Our ship stepped forward to guide the rescue, while rushing to repair the rigging, and on the other hand, tied it with a huge cable, and dragged the ship back safely. On the day the ship arrived at the port, the audience was like a tide, and they all praised it. Many British officials came to thank Lu Wenjing for their compassion and good-neighborliness, and awarded a treasure star, a letter of thanks and a number of bonuses to thank ......"

"This trial voyage, the storm seen is rare in a hundred years, fortunately with the protection of the emperor, the ship is closed, the ship is closed, the safe return of the voyage, and help the ship of the friendly country to get out of danger, can be described as a success. After returning to port ...... 'Thetis', Yu immediately inspected it with the British sailors, and found that the ship was sturdy, there were no loose leaks, the machinery was undamaged, and the mast was firm. The damage was caused only by the deck rigging and the hull oil knee that fell due to the waves scouring and falling...... When they first heard that there was a great storm in the North Sea, the British made many warning words in the news and newspapers, and checked the ships of various countries that passed through the stormy sea area, and when they heard that our ship was in the middle, they were all worried. They thought that something would happen to our ship, and that their insurance company had prepared for the settlement of the claim, and the Maritime Affairs Department had also prepared to pay respects, but they did not expect our ship to sail back safely, and they dragged the shipwrecked freighter into the port......

Lou's House, London, England.

"Where's today's paper?" Lu Yingyan asked anxiously.

"Here, just delivered, miss." A girl ring said and was about to send the newspaper over, but saw Lu Yingyan walk forward quickly, snatched the newspaper from the girl ring's hand, and quickly flipped through it.

Soon, Lu Yingyan found those words that shocked her.

“…… There is a hurricane in the western part of the North Sea, and the Admiralty Meteorological Bureau has issued an early warning to remind passing ships to pay attention to ......"

"The cruiser 'Thetis', which was gifted to China by the Royal Navy, is on trial voyage in this area, and the Admiralty has planned to send rescue vessels ......"

Yahuan was surprised to see that the newspaper in Lu Yingyan's hand fell to the ground, and she was about to lean over to pick it up, but found that Lu Yingyan's face suddenly turned pale, and her body shook as if she was about to fall.

"Miss! Miss! What happened to you? The two maids were shocked and immediately stepped forward to help her.

Lu Yingyan's water-cut eyes suddenly lost their brilliance, like two black holes.

"Spare Car ......"

"Miss wants to prepare a car? Miss, where are you going? ”

"Spare car...... I'm going to find him......"

The hurried sound of the maids alarmed Mrs. Lu, and she hurried over, and couldn't help but be startled when she saw her daughter in a trance.

"Yan'er, what's wrong with you? What happened to you? Yes? ”

Lu Yingyan looked at her mother blankly, suddenly threw herself into her mother's arms, and cried loudly.

"Mother...... I'm going to find him! I'm going to find him......"
