[Titanic] Harbor

The young captain just stood there dumbfounded by what the lady said, and he was dumbfounded. He looked a little pitiful. The accusation of 'King Arthur' is a bit too..., but that is my idol.

Willow looked at Erica's flushed cheeks from the sea breeze, touched his nose resentfully, and stepped out of the way.

Erica walks past him, and once again despises the captain's height.

He will be a hero.Erica is convinced of this, as long as she arrives in the United States, no newspaper will let go of such a captain who has saved countless lives. He will become a trend within a certain period of time, standing under the spotlight and being People's attention, heh, if there is a spotlight in this era.

Erica can't get in touch with such a person. If the captain is 20 years older, then Erica is very happy to have some exchanges with the other party. The relationship between master and father is often a kind of good talk, but The ambiguous relationship is another way of saying it.

"My rudder is big enough, and I can definitely deliver you all safely." Seeing that Erica was about to step off the deck, the young Willow added again unwillingly.It was the first time he had seen such a strong young girl. Miss Erica seemed to be of two varieties between speaking and not speaking.

It's terrible!

Erica looked back again.She had also heard such rumors in later generations.The Titanic sank because the rudder was too small to turn and hit an iceberg.

Don't they find it ridiculous that such rumors spread from a ship full of such high-society passengers?Gossip should stop with the wise!

"I believe yours must be a standard size!" She said to the poor captain simply by waving her hand with a bad taste in her bones.

Willow froze again!

He wasn't sure if what he just heard meant what he understood?The sea voyage is often long and boring, and the dirty jokes between the crew members appear relatively frequently, but when such words are spoken by an English lady, it makes people blush!

When he came back to his senses, Erica had already got off the deck and returned to the cabin.

At dawn, it's a new beginning.

Everyone on the ship settled down briefly, each had their own rest time, and gradually began to accept that the Titanic had really sunk.

Belief in the facts is the first step in the development of things for the better.

But people on land, because they didn't witness the cruel scene, and couldn't imagine the sinking of the giant ship at all, so they often had many beautiful fantasies about it.

"West, have you finished the manuscript I asked you to write?"

"Yes sir. But I still can't believe it. How did the Titanic sink? It was an unsinkable ship!"

"You inflexible boy, don't I know these things! The news was obtained from the rescue ship of the Titanic. The source is reliable, and I also paid a lot of money to get it! As long as we can report this news first, our Newspapers will definitely be rewarding!"

The young reporter was unnerved by the editor-in-chief's spitting speech.He quickly handed over his manuscript, and then stepped back to a safe distance from being sprayed with saliva.

The bald editor-in-chief raised his magnifying glass, and under the somewhat blurred concave-convex mirror, the latest report written by the reporter was revealed. After a brief reading, the editor-in-chief frowned, and said unsatisfactorily, "West, your use The words still lack appeal. You should focus on describing the various performances of the passengers on the Titanic in times of crisis, and highlight the parts of life and death.”

"But Mr. Editor, please forgive my ignorance, but we don't understand these things!"

"I don't understand you, can't you still make up? Look at those medium-sized ships. If they encounter shipwreck, how many passengers can be rescued? And as far as I know, the rescue ship on the Titanic can only accommodate half of the number of passengers. .As long as you have common sense, you should know that more people have no hope of being saved."

Seeing the complacent look of his editor-in-chief, the young reporter hesitated again and again, and finally took back his manuscript.He seems to know how to 'make up' the news this time.

Conversations like this were circulated in various British newspapers.All the newspapers took a deep breath and prepared to report this astonishing news.

Of course, their sources vary.The number of rescue boats and the number of survivors also varies.

After dawn, copies of urgently printed newspapers flowed into the market.Men and women of different classes read the reports in these newspapers, and each report conveyed the sad news of the sinking of the Titanic, but the specific content told by each newspaper was also different.

People mourned the sinking of the great ship of the century, and were also immersed in the panic caused by rumors.Aristocratic families with families on board have become low-key. This social season, the whole of London has fallen into a depressed atmosphere.

The same goes for Erica's family.When old Dalton sat in front of the warm fire and read the information in the newspaper, he covered his eyes with his hands: "Oh! My poor Erica!"

But he is also the patriarch of a family at the same time, what he has to do is not just to read the newspaper and silently pray for the safety of his daughter.

"What happened?" Mrs. Dalton was also sitting not far from the fire at this time. She was fiddling with a piece of embroidery. Don't get me wrong, this exquisite embroidery is not her work. In fact, she Just admiring such a treasure from the East.

Mr. Dalton came to her side and put his hand on her shoulder, as if it was many years ago, when they first met, with deep affection.This made Mrs. Dalton a little flattered. She put down the embroidery in her hand and held Mr. Dalton's hand back: "My dear, I have always been with you."

Mr. Dalton couldn't bear the 'gentle' eyes from his wife at first.He bent down and whispered to his wife about the terrible situation their daughter was suffering.

"Oh, my God! This is really terrible! My poor daughter!" Mrs. Dalton couldn't bear to faint, she fell into Mr. Dalton's arms, and patted herself in shock Little heart, but she immediately thought of something, and asked her husband in an anxious tone.

"If... I mean, if something bad happened to Erica, wouldn't her engagement with Baron Dweck be...?"

Mr. Dweck, Miss Erica's fiancé, was a Baron.He was about to go bankrupt because of poor management.It is the best choice to unite with a rich but lacking family like the Dalton family.Especially the young lady in Dalton's family happened to be about the same age as him, and she was quite beautiful.

Therefore, this is a combination of peers, but it is also a combination of interests.

But after getting engaged to Erica, Mr. Dweck's life became moist again.

Gradually, I found that my fiancée was extremely restrained and observed etiquette. She didn't even want to have any communication with him before marriage except shaking hands, well, except talking.

He also befriended another beautiful and charming young lady at a ball.

A young lady related to the Hockley family is gentle and considerate, while her fiancée is as dull as a piece of wood.

Baron Dweck quickly made up his mind.

He persuaded the patriarch of the Dalton family to lend him money to buy a large amount of White Star shares.Therefore, in terms of interests, he is inseparable from the Dalton family.This family will be like his bank, escorting him, sending him money, and even giving him a good-looking fiancée.

And emotionally, the scumbag Baron Dweck went in and out with his "true love" in all public places, making the Dalton family a complete joke.

Mr. Dowton was bitten back, and all he had to do was to swallow his anger and temporarily 'wrong' his daughter for his own benefit, except to stand up and speak up for his daughter.

In the end, after a 'difficult' decision, Dalton sent his daughter to Titanic and asked her to go to the United States to relax.

This is also the consequence of weighing the pros and cons.

After all, the Dalton family's political background is shallow, and the mistress of Baron Dweck is related to the Hockley family.

He always has to give up something for the greater good.

It was Erika who was abandoned, which was also... expected.

And Mrs. Dalton?As a mother, she sent off her daughter with joy, as if she was really going to the United States for vacation.In social situations, she did not show any face to Miss 'Hockley', and always greeted her with a smile.

As a mother, Mrs. Dalton is willing to abandon others to save her daughter, but she is also willing to abandon her daughter to save her own status.

She only needs to wear beautiful clothes and beautiful hats, attend the non-stop banquets of the high society, and enjoy a luxurious life, and she doesn't need to know anything else.

"This is not the most important issue. Didn't you hear that the Titanic's ship sank, and White Star's stock is bound to plummet. If the Baron's stock loses money, he won't return the money he borrowed from us of!"

Mr. Dalton didn't really want to explain business issues to his vase wife.But at this time, her wife also represents his attitude.

"Ah!" Mrs. Dalton exclaimed, she couldn't care less about asking her "poor daughter" now, she quickly grabbed Mr. Dalton's hand: "Then if the baron goes bankrupt..."

"I have invested a lot of money to support the Baron in buying stocks. If he goes bankrupt, the Dalton family will..." Mr. Dalton said bitterly, and he patted his wife on the shoulder: "Don't go out to socialize recently. Yes, stay at home, someone is here and needs you to receive him."

He put on his coat and hurried out.
