The control tower immediately notified Captain Smith, and Captain Smith immediately informed Ismay and Andrews, and several high-ranking people of the White Star Company concentrated in the captain’s room.

Andrews arrived first with a large volume of tectonic drawings, followed by Ismay, who was wearing a suit in his pajamas and bedroom slippers on his feet, followed by the picket chief.

“Really hit an iceberg?”

As soon as Ismay entered the door, he confirmed in disbelief, and he was extremely surprised that a low-class prophecy had come true.

“Yes, Mr. Ismay, the impact was at 11.40pm. I have asked the departments to report on the situation and sent four deputy Berkshall to lead a quick inspection of the entire ship. Captain Smith was trying to piece together a panorama of the accident, “I suggest we’d better go down together and see for ourselves.” ”

“There you go.” Ismay was disheveled and embarrassed to go out, and he instructed the picket chief who followed, “You send additional guards to maintain order everywhere on the ship, don’t let people take advantage of the mess and damage the property of the White Star Company.” ”

“Yes, sir.” The chief picket answered the order.

Fabry first ran to find Helge, who was also at the stern, but Herge’s parents firmly believed that the giant ship would not sink, and did not agree to their daughter going with Fabry, who had only known each other for a few days.

Fabry was helpless, said goodbye to Helgo with tears, met Little Plum and Tommy at the entrance of the stairs leading to the F floor, and then met Richard and his father Williams Sr. who were looking for the two of them on the E floor.

Richard and his son carried life jackets equipped with first class.

After Fabry and his group of five rushed up to the deck of the gym, they were stopped by the two guards assigned by the picket chief to guard at the entrance of the stairs: “Stop, what are you doing?” ”

Xiao Lizi shrugged: “I heard that the ship had just hit an iceberg, and we wanted to go on the deck to see what the iceberg looked like.” ”

“No, go back to the cabin.” The guard spoke bluntly.

Tommy said dissatisfied, “Why don’t you let you see?” ”

“We are dealing with an iceberg accident… Hey, you still have luggage with you…”

The guards noticed that Tommy and Richard were taller, and immediately suspected that the two criminals who cut the hull and their accomplices were planning to escape by stealing the lifeboat, and immediately shouted, “You don’t have to go back to the cabin, come with us to the picket room.” ”

The guard said and stepped forward to grab Tommy and Richard, and Tommy angrily pushed the guard: “See you, go away.” ”

“Dare to resist arrest.”

The guard was furious, reaching for his gun at his waist.

Suddenly, a gust of wind came from behind, and the guard’s right hand with the gun was held down from behind, and at the same time, the neck was firmly stuck with the crook of the arm, and the throat could not make the slightest sound.

“Willow.” Xiao Lizi exclaimed.

The person who came was Liu Bufan.

Liu Bufan immediately jumped out of the lifeboat after hearing the argument between Tommy and the guard, and quietly covered up to catch a guard.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that another guard was about to whistle a warning when he saw that the situation was not good, and Liu Bufan hurriedly said: “Quickly hold him down, don’t let them hinder our escape.” ”

Tommy and Richard immediately knocked the other guard down and covered Zuiba.

The crowd brought two guards to the folding lifeboat selected by Liu Bufan, and Liu Bufan retrieved two Webley revolvers and dozens of bullets from the guards.

“Boys, get on the lifeboat, I’ll stay on the boat and wait and see.” If the ship doesn’t sink in the end, I’ll ask White Star to pull you aboard, otherwise it will be bad if you are left alone in the ocean.” ”

Old Williams was thoughtful and reluctant to board the boat together.

“You two, do as I tell you.”

Little Plum, Fabry, Tommy, and Richard all got into the lifeboat, Liu Bufan and Old Williams each had a pistol, loaded the bullet, forced the two guards to turn the winch, the gears at both ends moved synchronously, and slowly put the folding lifeboat.

Because the lifeboat has so few people, two people are enough to operate.

During the descent, many passengers on the portholes on all floors of the ship saw this scene, causing a burst of exclamations and sao.

“Look, they’re putting lifeboats on…”

“Is the ship sinking?”

Some passengers were in a hurry and ran to the lifeboat deck.

After the lifeboat was successfully lowered to the sea, Liu Bufan did not rush to slide down the cable, first took away the two whistles on the guard, and then asked: “Where is the distress rocket?” ”

“Cubicle behind the cab.” The guards at gunpoint did not dare to hide.

“I’ll get it.” Old Williams Road.

“Okay, try to hurry, some passengers by the porthole have spotted us.”

“I know.”

The cab was above the gym, very close, and Serena Williams put on his guard uniform, took advantage of the chaos and quickly sneaked into the cubicle behind the cab to get two distress rockets and two boxes of matches, and Liu Bufan was carrying them on him.

“Mr. Williams, you stay on the lifeboat deck, the White Star Company will come soon, take care.”

Liu Bufan tied the guard with a cable, covered it, and then came to the revolver pistol in the hands of Old Williams and slid down the cable into the lifeboat on the sea.

The elder Williams on the boat was about to unbuckle the cable when two tall young men ran onto the deck and shouted, “Wait.” ”

“Wait until we go down, and then you untie the cable.”

Two young men rushed over, involuntarily pushed the elder Williams away and slid down the cable down the lifeboat.

“Rude young man.”

Old Williams thought that it was understandable that people were eager to survive, and after grumbling in dissatisfaction, he immediately untied the cable, and the small lifeboat separated from the huge Titanic.

“It’s you…”

In the lifeboat, Liu Bufan saw that the uninvited guests were the two Germans who had spoken to him on the bow deck that day, and the other parties were probably the two criminals who cut the hull.

Liu Bufan was secretly vigilant and quietly shoved one of the pistols to Tommy.

“Yes. My name is Clairer and his name is Witzstedt. The Germans also recognized Liu Bufan, and one of them explained, “We saw you sitting in the lifeboat at the porthole and rushed over.” ”

Liu Bufan was noncommittal: “The Titanic is an unsinkable ship, and the White Star Company has not yet announced its abandonment, so you are in such a hurry to board the lifeboat first…”

“After all, the ship hit an iceberg, didn’t it, I would like to believe what you said, it may sink.”

Seeing that Liu Bufan was still suspicious of him, Clarel added, “The important thing is that I can find safer ships.” A sailboat just passed on the channel, did you see it? ”

“That’s right.” Liu Bufan nodded.

“The Titanic and the sailboat crossed a few hundred meters and hit the iceberg and stopped, the speed of the sailboat is extremely slow, the location must not be far from here, no more than a nautical mile, we can paddle to catch up for help.”
