Matriarch of the Hockleys

"Lightoller, let them start the remaining four boilers and speed up the forward speed. We will arrive in the United States before nine o'clock in the morning." Captain Smith ordered his second officer.

"Yes, Captain." Captain Smith frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Strengthen the patrol on the deck. Tell the guards on the watchtower to be careful. We are responsible for the safety of the passengers."

"Yes, captain!" Lightoller hurried out of the captain's office, he had to make arrangements quickly.

"Gary! Where's your telescope?" Lightoller was a little annoyed. Why didn't anyone tell him?Binoculars are very important in navigation.

"Second officer, I lost the telescope a long time ago." Gary scratched his head in embarrassment, "But don't worry, it won't affect our work. I can smell the ice floes!" Gary said with a joke.

"Fuck you, work hard. The Titanic is going to speed up," Lightoller kicked Gary angrily.

Ismay was drinking alone in the room, and he had already anticipated the headlines of the major media tomorrow morning.Ismay's name will go down in history!

At this moment, Jack was sitting at the table with a stern expression on his face.Unlike Ruth's ignorance of the world, Jack has already figured out the general idea of ​​the matter at this time.

He had already guessed that all this was Hudson's revenge.But he has no regrets.

At this moment, what he was most worried about was how to contact Ruth.Remembering the previous proposal of elopement, Jack became restless.

He must get out of here before coming to America.Otherwise, what awaits him will be a catastrophe in prison.As long as he avoids the people outside, he can start over with Ruth.

Jack looked around, looking for something to break the rope that bound him.

He suddenly saw the half-closed door of the bathroom, and Jack hurried in, looking at the mirror attached to the bathroom, he showed a happy expression.

Jack took a few steps back, raised his leg, and kicked hard on the mirror. With a sound of "哗啦~", the mirror cracked from the middle, and a few small pieces of glass fell on the sink.He turned and fumbled for a thinner glass.

Jack held down the rope with one hand and held the glass with the other, grinding the rope back and forth.Again and again, Jack's sweat slipped into his eyes, he blinked a little uncomfortable, and the movements of his hands never slackened.

After about ten minutes, Jack finally broke free from the rope.He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his head casually, and vigorously shook his sore wrist that was bound.

He left the bathroom and walked to the door.He carefully put his ear against the door, listening carefully to the sound outside the door.

It seemed that someone was guarding the door, Jack frowned.It seems that hitting the door directly will not work, he can only wait for the opportunity.Jack simply sat on the ground, leaning against the door, and slowly fell asleep.

The Titanic moved forward smoothly, and everything was like the last calm before the storm.

"Hey, Bob, what are you doing?" Gary looked at his colleague who was dozing off on the chair, and pushed him awake with some dissatisfaction.

"The second officer just said to strengthen vigilance, why are you being lazy!" Gary was a little dissatisfied.He was working in the cold wind, and this guy even took the opportunity to sleep!

"Hey! What do you want! Aren't you bragging that you can smell the ice floe? Then what do you want me to do!" Bob challenged Gary, who had always been flattering his superiors.

"Bastard, don't force me to do it!" Gary picked up the stick on the corner of the table and warned Bob to watch his words.

Bob didn't panic. His cousin and the first mate were on good terms. Based on this alone, he dared to beat Gary to death. Anyway, he wouldn't be the one who got unlucky in the end.

"Bastard!" Gary held the stick and hit Bob hard.

Bob hurriedly dodged Gary's attack, and he quickly dodged to the other side. "Hey, kid, I've tolerated you for a long time, today I want you to kneel down and lick the soles of my shoes!" After speaking, he punched Gary to the ground. "Aren't you great just now? Get up! Come and hit me! Hahaha" Bob mocked Gary who was lying on the ground wantonly.

At this moment, Gary took the opportunity to hit Bob's leg hard with a stick, and Bob let out a muffled groan.

"Hiss, damn it, let me teach you how to be a man today!" Bob, who was attacked, spat on the ground. He raised Gary aggressively and pressed him against the wall.

"Boom," Bob's fist hit Gary hard. "Boy, are you convinced, eh? Come and lick the soles of your father's shoes!" Bob's words made Gary's eyes red, and he struggled hard, but he still couldn't break free.Suddenly, as if seeing something, Gary's eyes widened and he struggled desperately.

"Idiot! There is ice floe, please notify the main control room!" Gary was terrified. "Damn it, who are you lying to? I have been working for so many years, and I encountered an ice floe that time!" Even so, Bob turned his head to look.An expression of disbelief froze on his face, and he looked like a clown at this moment.

Notice, notice!He had to quickly inform the main control room to change direction.Regardless of Gary, Bob stuck his head out of the window in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "There is ice floe, go and inform the captain! There is ice floe!"

The crew patrolling on the deck heard the sound and hurried to the main control room.

"What? Ice floe," Smith called out in disbelief.

"Lettoller, go and notify the chief mate and prepare for lifesaving. In case of an accident, organize the passengers to board the lifeboat." Captain Smith had already thought of the worst possible outcome.Even if the Titanic is very strong, once it hits an ice floe, it can only be helpless.

"Order the helmsman to change course and try to avoid the ice floe." Captain Smith walked towards the cabin after giving the order.He is going to find Andrew, as the chief designer, he should have a way to avoid the sinking of the Titanic.Until the last moment, the Titanic must not give up!Captain Smith had a determined look in his eyes, and he walked quickly to Andrew's room.

"Andrew, open the door! Andrew!" Captain Smith shouted anxiously outside the door.

"What's wrong?" Andrew looked at Captain Smith with some puzzlement.He has known Smith for so long, and he has never seen him so panicked.

"There are ice floes!" "What? Let's go to the deck and check the situation." Andrew ran to the deck without locking the door.

"Telescope!" Andrew said anxiously, looking at the blurry silhouette in the distance.Looks like this ice floe is not small, God forbid, don't let the Titanic collide with it.

"I lost it, I lost the telescope." Bob shrank his head and stammered.

"What? There is no telescope on the watchtower!" Captain Smith lost his usual calm demeanor, and he shouted angrily, "Get it to my room!" "Yes, yes." Looking at Bob's back, Captain Smith's There is a lingering resentment on his face.

Mr. Andrew and Captain Smith stood on the deck like this. They didn't say a word, and the atmosphere became very solemn.They didn't want to say anything until they saw the ice floe.They can only pray.

"This is ice floe!?" Andrew saw the so-called "huge ice floe" through the binoculars. At this moment, he really wanted to swear.

That was clearly an iceberg!Looking at the tip of the iceberg towering out of the sea, Captain Smith once again felt awe of nature.

"The course must be changed. Once it hits an iceberg, the Titanic will definitely sink." Mr. Andrew panicked.

"Don't worry, I have ordered the main control room to change course." Captain Smith said seriously. "Let the first officer send a distress signal to the ship in the nearby waters!"

"Captain, if you avoid the iceberg, this..." Lightoller was a little worried. If he didn't hit the iceberg, the panic on the Titanic would become a joke.The captain and his second officer will be attacked by public opinion.

"Go! We're not the only ones on the Titanic!" Captain Smith never thought of this, but the anxiety in his heart made him stick to his original choice.

"Let's go back to the main control room first!" Mr. Andrew pinched the corners of his eyes wearily.

"Let's go!"

"How is it?" Captain Smith asked impatiently!

"Captain, the nearest ship is already heading here, but it will take at least four hours to arrive." Harold took off his headset and replied.

"Four hours," Captain Smith and Andrew looked at each other.

"Speed ​​up, we have to avoid the iceberg!" Captain Smith had just ordered, and the crew in the boiler room of the Titanic kept shoveling coal into it.The high temperature made their faces turn red, and the bellows kept beating, making the sound of being overwhelmed.But all this has been going on, because if they relax a little bit, they will face a very dangerous situation.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer, the iceberg is getting closer and closer to the Titanic, and its amazing size has been exposed to the eyes of the crew.The crew members on the Titanic all held their breaths, and their hearts collapsed.

The Titanic tried its best to turn to the other side, but its huge size, which it was proud of before, had become a huge flaw at this time.

"Bang, bang~" The violent vibration woke up the sleeping passengers, and the people who were immersed in joy also fell silent instantly.

After a moment of silence, the cabin was filled with noise again, whether it was the crowded third-class cabin or the luxurious first-class cabin.

"Smith, what happened? I was injured!" Ismay's forehead was swollen with a big lump. He walked into the main control room with a dissatisfied face and asked.

"What happened?" Seeing Ismay, Captain Smith seemed to grasp at straws.He asked loudly, "Isn't it you?"
