At the critical moment, Captain Smith, who had passed through strong winds and waves, was the first to calm down and ordered First Officer Murdoch: “All crew members take their places, immediately begin distributing life jackets, and organize passengers to board lifeboats.” ”

“Okay, but…” said Murdoch, “there are more than 2,200 people on board, but we only have 20 lifeboats.” About two-thirds of the people…”

“Mr. Ismay, you are finally determined to get the front page headlines of the major media.”

Captain Smith glanced at Ismay with a complicated look, and then ordered Murdoch, “This news will be kept strictly confidential from beginning to end, and must not be passed on.” At the same time, the passengers were advised to maintain their character, women and children were given priority on board, and they went quickly. ”

“Yes.”

After Murdoch left, Captain Smith turned and went to the telegraph room, wrote the telegram manuscript, and ordered the telegraph operator Phillips to send an emergency universal distress signal “CQD” to the outside world, the call code of the Titanic “MGY”, and the location coordinates 42 degrees 37 minutes north latitude and 48 degrees 23 minutes west longitude.

“CQD，CQD-MGY…… We are sinking and need immediate rescue. ”

In the vast night, telecommunications that shocked the world flew into the sky for six consecutive times.

At this time, nearly half an hour had passed since the Titanic hit the iceberg.

Soon, calls came one after another, including the Temple Mount of the Canadian Pacific Company, the Russian cargo ship Burma, the Kapesia of the Kanad Company, and the Frankfurt

, Virginia, Virginia, Temple …

But most of them were 100 nautical miles away, beyond their reach. Among them, the Capesia is 80 nautical miles from the Titanic.

Only 18 nautical miles from the Titanic, the Californian, the most timely rescue possibility, turned off the radio, and the telegraph operator Evans was scolded by the Titanic’s telegraph operator and got into the bed to sleep.

“Look, the sailboat is ahead, it’s back.”

Liu Bufan and the others rowed the lifeboat less than half a nautical mile before they saw the silhouette of the sailboat.

It is not going away with the cold snap, but is turning back.

Liu Bufan was not too excited in his heart, but became more and more vigilant.

There is no record of a sailboat rescuing the Titanic in history, and it is not supposed to be a rescue when it sails back now.

According to the testimony of Stanley Lord, captain of the Californian, to the investigation team, the ghost ship not only did not rescue, but interfered with the judgment of the Californian crew, which was simply intended to prevent the rescue.

There is not a single light on the sailboat, and the speed is extremely slow, like a ghost dangling in the sea, seen in the middle of the night, very penetrating.

“Look at the broken sail, is it really a ghost ship.” Fabry was afraid, “I don’t know if there are people on the ship or ghosts…”

Liu Bufan said calmly: “The sailboat does not have to be driven by sails, someone must be driving it by motor, otherwise how can the boat turn back against the current?” ”

Judging from the two Germans who knew about the sailboat, Liu Bufan thought that it was not some ghost ship.

The speed of the sailboat is very slow, and the lack of lights is deliberately created in order to create the illusion of a ghost ship to cover up the shadow to the outside world.

The lifeboat approached from the starboard side of the sailboat and found several emergency boats tied to the bottom of the sailboat, and the two points of light that Liu Bufan just saw on the Titanic approaching the starboard side of the Titanic should be the lights on the two emergency boats.

Behind the emergency boat, there is an iron-framed suspension ladder that slopes up to the deck.

“Two friends, one of you and I will go up first for help.” Liu Bufan said to the two Germans, “and the others stayed in the lifeboat for the time being.” ”

“Why not go up at the same time?” Claire objected.
