"Master, look over there!"

Carl was feeling sorry for Annie, who was wet and cold and being constantly pressed down in the sea, and suffered a lot. He didn't even mind that the blanket on his little lover was handed over by his rival. He just wanted to help her warm up quickly, so as to save Get sick afterwards.

Unlike the master, once he confirmed that the future mistress was saved, the old butler focused on paying attention to the surrounding environment. When he found a faint yellow light coming from the distance, even if he had rich life experience, he couldn't help but feel excited.

On the other hand, Neil found the track of the rescue ship faster than Davidson, and reported in a low voice to the owner who was still watching the beautiful woman with concern.

Antonio nodded and motioned him to turn on the flashlight and blow the whistle for help with the old housekeeper, while he said to Carl, "Hockley, it seems that the rescue ship is coming, you go rowing with me, the two of us have something to do with the crew." With experience, paddling together is faster."

The five people who can row can all go on the stage, the chance of survival is in front of them, and now there is no need to consider saving energy and manpower for long-term planning, so as not to waste time in circles.

At this time, there was no rival in love anymore. Karl asked Anne to dry herself a bit, wrap the blanket tighter, and sat next to Antonio to row towards the source of the light together.

"Help, help..."

A faint and trembling cry for help sounded from a little distance away from the lifeboat, and everyone remembered that Emma had forgotten that there were still people in the water. No wonder the lifeboat suddenly became so quiet!

While everyone had a tacit understanding, they turned their heads to look at Carl and Antonio, who were obviously the second leaders on the boat, to see what they had to say.

Darcy, one of the crew members, hesitated for a moment, and persuaded, "That's a life after all."

And strictly speaking, the woman's behavior was a subconscious reaction. Most people who don't know how to drink will do that. They didn't intend to kill the little girl. Besides, the little girl is saved now, except for drinking a few more mouthfuls. Sea water, and no other harm.

"Save her and come up." Annie, who had recovered, also interjected.

Although she was very angry that the fat lady dragged herself into the water and used herself as a life-saving buoy, but Mr. Crew was right, it was a life, but she would not have much contact with this kind of person in the future.

With the acquiescence of Karl and Antonio, the lady was pulled up. In less than 10 minutes, her lips were frozen purple, and her whole body was still trembling.

According to Karl's heart, there is no need to rescue the woman at all, but he and Annie need a good reputation in the upper class. He doesn't care whether the woman is dead or not, but he can't be involved and Annie.

As for the debt she caused Annie to fall into the water, there will be plenty of opportunities to ask her to get it back in the future!

Seeing that no one on board wanted to talk to the fat lady, Darcy had to bring her a blanket, but the spirits belonged to Karl, and Karl didn't take the initiative to take it out, and Darcy didn't have the nerve to ask him for it for the lady.

Now no one is in the mood to pay attention to this woman who has been looking for trouble since she got on the lifeboat. Everyone is looking forward to the increasingly obvious light, seeing the huge figure of the Frankfurt gradually appearing, a group of usually proud and reserved People couldn't help but cheered.

"The rescue ship! The rescue ship is coming!"

"Great! Everyone is saved!"

"Oh, God……"

As the big ship got closer, the people on the lifeboat became more and more excited, and some even couldn't help shouting: "Here! Here! We are here!"

There are more than 50 people on a ship, so naturally there is no guarantee that all of them are calm. Among them, the lady who has just been rescued is the most excited. She is about to freeze to death!She wished she could be on the big boat in the next second, enjoying the hot broth and the fluffy quilt bed. When she got excited, she couldn't help standing up and waving her arms, hoping that people on the boat could see them.

Pfft!

Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!

The people in the entire lifeboat fell into the freezing water before they even had time to react to their screams.

----The lifeboat capsized, and no one in the ship was spared, and even a few people were knocked unconscious by the overturned lifeboat.

To some extent, the first batch of people who got on the lifeboat were really unluckier than those who are still on board. At least most of those who were rescued on the boat did not taste how cold the sea is tonight!

Annie really thinks she's been on a roll since she got on the Titanic!

Not long after she was rescued on the lifeboat, she returned to the seawater that was comparable to a freezer. No matter how gentle and reserved she was, she wanted to swear!

Suddenly, something fell down in the distance, causing the waves to surge up. The distant lights made Anne realize that she seemed to be led in the wrong direction by the waves, and she was getting farther and farther away from the rescue ship.

There was a surge of fear in her heart, and she couldn't help shouting: "Carl?"

Immediately afterwards, someone nearby imitated her and shouted for someone she knew.

"Mike?"

"Michelle?"

Knowing that she was not alone, Annie felt relieved, estimated the distance between herself and the big ship, and swam towards the light with all her might.

It's a pity that the Frankfurt only stopped for a moment, and after laying down two or three lifeboats, it continued to break through the water and sail towards the Titanic. After all, there were more people waiting for them to rescue, and these people soaked in the sea water were handed over to the small boats. rescue.

The waves brought by the Frankfurt breaking through the water brought some people closer and pushed some people farther away. Karl was the group of people who were close.

As early as when he fell into the sea, he turned back to look for Anne, but the environment under the night was too dark, and the places a little further away were full of shadows and buildings, which could not be seen clearly.

He seemed to hear his little lover calling his own voice, but he never saw the little girl when he swam around.

Carl felt like he was going crazy!

Obviously everything is well arranged!They boarded the lifeboat safely, and the rescue ship he contacted didn't arrive too late, but what about his baby?How did his baby get lost?

1912年4月15日凌晨1点25分

When the fourth distress rocket rose into the sky to illuminate the sea area, Les Toler spotted the Frankfurt heading towards the Titanic with sharp eyes.

"Captain, captain, a rescue ship is here!"

Les Stoller handed over the scene of the lifeboat to another crew member, and ran back to the command room panting to report the good news to Captain Edward.

"Really? That's really great!" Edward John Smith showed a pale and relieved smile, "Good boy, go and help arrange the transfer of passengers!"

He had to go to the information room and get in touch with the rescue ship as soon as possible to negotiate rescue matters.

Finally, they set up two ladders between the Frankfurt and the Titanic so that passengers could climb or walk over from the Titanic. eight lifeboats.

The Titanic has gradually begun to tilt, and the waves are not calm. Not all people can safely transition from the Titanic to the Frankfurt, so the screams of passengers and the sound of people falling into the sea can be heard from time to time. Plop.

Fortunately, everyone had hope in their hearts at this time, even if they fell into the sea, they were not particularly panicked, because the Frankfurt also sent their lifeboats to search and rescue people who fell into the sea due to damage to the hull caused by water ingress and tilt.

Ten minutes later, the task of the Frankfurt was reduced a lot, because at this time the Carpathia also arrived and joined the rescue team, and the transfer speed of the passengers on the Titanic was accelerated.

"Nancy, it seems that we can go to William's farm to pick apples together." William is their grandson, who owns a large piece of land in the suburbs of California, full of various fruits and vegetables.

Standing beside this white-haired gentleman was an old woman with the same white hair as him. Both of them were dressed in formal attire, looking gentle and temperamental.

The little old lady with wrinkles on her face smiled warmly at her husband who had been married for more than 40 years: "Yes, when we are old and can't go anywhere, we can tell today's experience as an adventure story to my little one." Great-grandson listen."

The two of them originally gave up the chance of the lifeboat to their young maid, and the little old lady even took off her mink coat and put it on the maid: "My child, I don't think I will need it anymore, it should follow A master who can make it more effective."

The old couple stood next to the choir led by the pastor. They originally wanted to see this beautiful ship again. Even though it was gradually disintegrating, this did not prevent the old couple from finding out the original state from the memories of the past few days. , patching it back up in my mind.

Most of the people standing in this corner are first- and second-class educated passengers. Compared with the people in other places who are running around in panic and looking for chances of survival, they are a bit special, because although this group of people are a little pale, they are still very happy. Some of them are calm. It can be said that they are calmly waiting for the coming of death, because the education they have received since childhood told them that there is something to do and something not to do.To snatch those lifeboats and deny the people who are supposed to be on them is what they shouldn't be doing.

However, no one really wanted to die, so seeing the arrival of the rescue ship, these people, like everyone else, relaxed and showed very happy smiles.

"Great, God heard our prayers..."

The more emotional person even hugged the person next to him and sobbed—whether he knew the person he hugged or not.

And the person who somehow became a large doll didn't struggle either. Under the influence of the atmosphere, he quickly hugged him back, leaving tears for the rest of his life along with him.

There was joy on the deck, but in the first disaster area of ​​the Titanic, it was a scene full of floating corpses.

For example, the boiler room that was flooded for the first time, the workers working here did not have time to escape before the seawater submerged; for example, some third-class passengers on the bottom floor, they were a group that could only be abandoned. Because the waterproof gate is closed, they have no chance to escape; for example, in the pet room, except for some owners who love their pets, no one can think of these pets who are locked at the bottom...

On the whole, though, the situation aboard the Titanic is now more joyful than sad, because most of the people who would mourn over the floating bodies died with them.

However, Karl, who was sitting on the lifeboat sent by the Frankfurt, was not in such a good mood. He even thought that if there was any mistake in his baby, then there was no need for these people to survive!

Anne was the only one he wanted to save from the beginning to the end. If something happened to her, but these incidental accessories were safe and sound, how could he accept it? !
