Matriarch of the Hockleys

"Enough is enough, the most important thing now is to get through this waiting time for rescue." Mr. Andrew frowned.

"Are you okay, Smith," Mr. Andrew asked with some concern, supporting Captain Smith who had fallen on the deck.

Captain Smith rubbed his temples, and said with a low voice: "Let everyone put on life jackets, and we will be safe when the rescue ship arrives."

"Lightoller!" Andrew turned his head and motioned, and Lightoller immediately understood what Mr. Andrew meant.

"Those who don't wear lifejackets come and get lifejackets!" Fortunately, there are enough lifejackets on the deck, otherwise... Thinking this way, Lightoller distributed lifejackets to other passengers and showed them how to put on lifejackets.

The people on the Titanic stood quietly on the deck, waiting silently.At this time, the Frankfurt was still nearly two hours away.

The shadows of those lifeboats can still be vaguely seen around the Titanic.

"What should we do?" This thrilling night finally made a frail lady cry out.The other passengers on the lifeboat ignored her, and several acquainted passengers hugged each other and comforted each other.

This night is destined to be restless.

The people on the Titanic managed to calm down, and the hull suddenly shook violently.About a third of the way up the ship, there was a creaking sound, and terrified people fled in all directions.

Accompanied by the sound of planks breaking, sparks began to flash from the wires on the Titanic, and the original lights flickered on and off.呲啦味啦~咚咕~ The Titanic quickly merged with the night, people were full of panic, they opened their mouths in a daze, but no one matched the dead silence.

"Boom~cheep~bang~kuang~" The tail of the Titanic has been disconnected, and the people who were standing there uttered horrified shouts. They ran to the bow like crazy, but how could they compare? The speed at which the upper stern sinks.

They slipped and fell on the deck, and fell with the stern of the ship, wailing in pain. "Help!" "I don't want to die!" "My God! Help!" "Somebody help me, God!"

The people with the bows couldn't bear to turn their heads. It wasn't that they didn't want to save those people, but that they couldn't do anything!

"Oh! God." Ruth tilted her head, pain in her eyes.

Most of the stern of the ship had sunk into the sea, and many people fell into the icy water.Although some people were unfortunately injured by the ship plank during this process, most of them were lucky. They fell into the sea safely. As long as they persevere, they will be rescued.

"Littler," Captain Smith said with difficulty, "Where are the band members? Why didn't I see them!"

"Captain, their commander said that they are the band on the Titanic, and they are destined to coexist with the Titanic. At this moment, I'm afraid it's already..." Lightoller couldn't continue, he felt sorry for the band's choice , although he didn't know whether he could persist until rescue came, but he would not give up his escape.He only lives once, and he doesn't want to die yet!

Captain Smith couldn't bear it, but more of it was guilt.If he hadn't ordered the acceleration, the Titanic would not have had an accident, and there would not have been so many casualties!

The stern of the ship sank into the sea very quickly, and the bow, which remained above the sea, also began to vibrate.There were cries of despair as those who failed to hold on to things slid down the deck that began to slope.The people who stayed behind also tried their best to hold on to the things beside them, trying their best not to fall off.

"This won't work, Ruth. We have to find a way!" Jack frowned tightly.

Ruth looked at Jack, suppressing her fear, not daring to interrupt Jack's thinking.

Jack raised his head suddenly, "Ruth, we have to climb up." After speaking, Jack wanted to climb up the mast, "Ruth, hold on tight first, and I'll pull you up when I get up!"

Jack tried his best to stabilize his movements, his face was a little nervous.Ruth looked at Jack with some concern, and the moment she turned her head, she saw Ismay who was holding onto the rail of the boat tightly.There was hatred in her eyes, and Ismay was taken aback by her look, and he turned away quickly.

"Ruth," Jack stood by the mast, holding the mast tightly while reaching out his hand to Ruth. "Grab me, Ruth, we've got to come this way!"

Ruth grasped Jack's hand tightly, followed his pull, and climbed to the side of the mast.

The bow of the ship gradually sank, looking at the sea getting closer and closer, Ruth's face was pale.Jack looked at Ruth distressedly, "We'll be fine, Ruth, believe me. Listen to me, I'll call one, two, three, and we'll take a deep breath when it's three, you know? Ruth .”

"Well, I will." There was trust in Jack in Ruth's eyes, she did not regret her behavior, at least for now, she was with Jack.

"Take me tight, Ruth, don't let go, as soon as you reach the sea, keep kicking your legs, and swim to the surface of the sea, understand!?" Jack shouted, "Got it," Ruth held Jack's hand tightly At this time, Ruth no longer had the initial despair.

Looking at the ever-approaching sea, Jack took a deep breath, calmed down his nervousness, and prayed silently in his heart.

"One, two, three, breathe in!" Jack closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Soon, Jack and Ruth also fell into the sea. They held on to each other's hands tightly and struggled constantly.However, the huge waves tore off their holding hands.

Ruth became flustered, but luckily she was wearing a lifejacket.After a while, she stuck her head out of the sea, "Jack, are you okay? Jack, Jack! Where are you! Jack." Ruth kept struggling in the sea, but the quality of the life jacket was very reliable , although Ruth has been struggling non-stop, she is still floating on the water.But still choked on a few saliva.

Those men who were pampered in the past were unlucky. They stared at their legs hard to ensure that they would not be submerged in the water.

At this time, the evil of human nature is magnified countless times.A man barely floating on the surface of the sea looked at Ruth who was struggling constantly, and finally swam towards her.

"Jack," Ruth turned her head happily, and saw a completely unfamiliar face, "You, uh~" The man pressed Ruth into the water vigorously, and the buoyancy lifted the man's shoulders out of the sea.Seeing this, the man pressed Ruth into the water even harder.

"Help ~ help ~ Jack ~ um..." Ruth tried her best to stick her head out of the sea, but was pushed into the water again.

With a crazy look on the man's face, he pressed Ruth hard, and started a tug-of-war with her. "Jack~ um..." Ruth choked on the sea water, and the salty sea water choked her windpipe, and she felt very desperate.Jack, no, Jack, where are you?Jack

"Hey~ bang!" Jack was so scared by the scene before him that he almost lost his wits!His right hand hit the man's eye socket forcefully, accompanied by a painful wail. "What do you want? Go away!"

"Jack!" Ruth, who finally emerged from the water, threw herself at Jack excitedly.

"It's okay! Ruth, don't worry, we're all alive." Jack put his arms around Ruth and patted her on the back comfortingly.

"We have to swim to the front," Jack pulled Ruth, and slowly passed many people who fell into the water, swimming forward firmly.

"Look, Ruth, let's go there quickly!" Jack looked excitedly at a floating board not far away, "Ruth, let's swim quickly, we will be safe when we climb up." Shaking Ruth's hand, he encouraged.

"Okay," such a short distance, but Ruth felt as if a century had passed.

Finally, they swam to the floating board.The exquisite carvings on its surface show people its former beauty and elegance.But at this time, the most important thing in people's eyes is that it is a wooden door.

Jack supported Rose and pushed her hard onto the kickboard.Ruth, who got out of the water temporarily, showed a relieved smile.

Jack also tried to climb up, but they were horrified to find that the kickboard could only carry the weight of one person. "Jack?" Ruth asked worriedly, "Don't worry, Ruth, I'm fine." Jack put his upper body on the floating board, which has greatly reduced his burden. "We'll be safe!"

"Shhhh~ Come back, lifeboat! Shhhhh~" Ruth and Jack hurriedly turned their heads to look at the place where the sound came from, it was Second Officer Lightoller.

He kept blowing the whistle in his hand, accompanied by bursts of shouts! "Shhhhh~"

People who were struggling in despair before began to look into the distance with hope. "Come back!" "Come on a lifeboat!" "We're alive!" they began to shout together, and the brilliance of humanity was revealed.

"Let's go back and save people!" Andrea broke the silence when she heard their cries for help.The people on the lifeboat were divided into two groups. One group, headed by Andrea and her daughter, advocated turning around to save people; of stability.

"Only by ensuring our safety first, can we save as many people as possible." In the end, Andrea was persuaded by them.

Karl and Leger used the oars in their hands to connect with other lifeboats. Although some people on the lifeboats rejected their proposal, they finally joined about fifteen lifeboats.

They used the remaining oars to slowly row towards the direction of the Titanic, where there were at least four or five hundred people who fell into the water.

Obviously the lifeboat cannot carry so many people, but the gap between the boats and the oars can still allow a dozen or twenty people to get some respite.
