Chapter 941: Reunion at Sea Eighteen

"And do you want to forgive your sins?" Owen asked.

Captain Smith said, "Of course, I will use this life to forgive my sins." ”

"No, the lives of 2,000 people are not forgiven by the lives of yours alone." Owen said, "You want forgiveness, you're watching these people die, but you're trying to save the lives of most people as much as possible." You are the captain of the ship, and you are responsible not only for the boat, but also for the passengers on board. ”

Captain Smith listened to this, his eyes gradually became focused, and he repeated: "Yes, I am responsible for the passengers on the ship, I am responsible for the passengers on the ship. ”

He turned his head to look at Owen and thanked Owen very sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Smith, for the reminder. ”

Owen waved his hand and asked, "Do you have a plan to save people?" ”

"Uh......" Captain Smith was asked how he could have thought of an effective plan to save lives in such a short period of time.

"I asked the crew to put the lifeboat down, and first to save some people is some people, in addition, I have asked the dispatcher to send a distress signal, as long as the ship that receives the signal will arrive to rescue us as soon as possible."

"Not enough." Owen shook his head, "What if those ships are far away and can't rescue everyone before the Titanic sinks completely?" We need to save ourselves. ”

Captain Smith looked at the young man in front of him, and for no reason there was a trace of convincing, and sincerely asked, "May I ask how we can save ourselves?" ”

"Let the crew assemble, keep order on deck, and organize women and children to go up to the lifeboats," Owen said. Every lifeboat must be full, and there must be no vacant seats left in the sea in a panic. In this way, at least 1,000 lives can be guaranteed. ”

"Then let the men collect all the wooden products on board, such as wooden doors, wooden tables, and other relatively large wooden objects, and cut them into smaller planks with an axe, and if there are chains, they will join these wooden planks together and let the remaining passengers go up to the planks. Although there is no safety of lifeboats, some people can be saved, as long as they do not move around, lie on the planks and wait for the rescue boat to come, they can be rescued. ”

"Then gather all the lifebuoys on the boat and tie an iron plate to them, so that some people can also build a ......."

Owen said a series of self-help measures, which he thought of since he knew that the Titanic hit the iceberg, there may be a lot of time and mistakes, but it is still very practical. Captain Smith's eyes grew brighter and brighter when he heard these methods from him.

When Owen had finished speaking, Captain Smith bowed deeply to Owen sincerely and respectfully, and said with endless gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Smith." Your method can keep a lot of people alive. God will bless you. ”

With that, Mr. Smith hurried away, running to his crew to make arrangements as Owen had said.

Owen and Edward stood on a high place, and saw that although the deck on the lowest level was still relatively chaotic, it was much more orderly than before. The women and children entered the lifeboat as fast as the crew had arranged for them, and when the lifeboat was full, the crew lowered the lifeboat into the sea.

Another group of seafarers organized men to find wooden products and dismantle wooden doors. At this time, there was no distinction between superior and inferior people, and everyone now worked together in the hope of gathering more wood products that could be used by people to float on it, so that they could live with more hope.

This job is much worse than that of the inferior people they originally looked down upon. Those "inferior" people have much more strength than them, and are the main force in disassembling wood products.

Just when the passengers of the whole ship were working together to save their lives, the behavior of the three people seemed extremely abrupt. These three people are naturally Miss Daisy and her fiancé and lover who play a love threesome.

Miss Daisy's heart was unusual, and while other passengers were frightened by the possibility of dying at sea and trying to save themselves, Miss Daisy felt that it was an opportunity to save her lover, Mr. David, while the ship's guards were leaving.

The two men who defected to Freedom were so high-profile that they even hugged Wen on the deck, causing Mr. Howard's anger. The gentleman's enpressed anger exploded, and he ignored the others—perhaps he had told his butler to help him find the planks—and took out his pistol and began to hunt down the two men and women who had made him so much ridiculed.

Edward was amazed when he saw this scene: "Howard has a brain pump, right?" At this time, there is still leisure to care about anything else? ”

Owen noted, "He had stewards and servants. ”

It's enough to help him prepare escape tools, just like the two of them, with Bruce and George helping them prepare escape tools. Now, the two men had roped the doors of their staterooms to everything, with two inflated lifebuoys tied underneath. This simple escape device is ready, and the space is not small, in addition to the four of them can sit on it, there is also a little space enough for two people to ride.

Owen was not interested in the farce of the three, and said to Edward and the three, "Let's go, we should go to the sea." ”

At this time, most of the people had already left the Titanic. The women and children were all transferred to the lifeboats, and nothing was missed. There are still some spare places in the lifeboats, which are reserved for the elderly who are not in good health.

The young and the young and the young were sitting on the boards and getting into the water, and they were paddling with table legs and stair railings in their hands.

Now, most of the people have left the Titanic, and only a few people and the crew on board remain. They were ready to go into the water, and the few tools on board were enough for them to get into the water and escape from the great ship that was about to sink into the sea.

"Didn't see Captain Smith." Edward Road.

Owen sighed: "Captain Smith has decided to live and die with the Titanic. After all, the sinking of the Titanic is a big deal, and as the captain, he has to bear a huge responsibility. is to be able to return to land safely, and all kinds of public opinion and pressure after that will force the old captain to not survive. ”

Edward also sighed when he heard this: "The director of the White Star Company thinks the same way, I didn't see him among the evacuees. ”

Owen nodded, watching as Bruce and George put their escape tools into the sea with the help of the two crew members, and jumped down first, followed by Edward, then Bruce and George.
