“Release women and children in first-class, second-class, and third-class in order, and speed up the work of releasing lifeboats.”

After delivering Captain Smith’s latest orders, First Officer Murdoch personally ran to the lifeboat deck to urge the crew.

On the deck of the lifeboat, most of the first-class passengers who were first allowed to go, were crowded and chaotic. Fortunately, the crew operating the lifeboats were nervous but not yet flustered.

“Throw away all suitcases and all luggage, and women and children board first.”

The husband and wife among the passengers, father and daughter, father and son and other relatives were forced to stage a scene of helpless separation, but unfortunately, many parties still believe that the male relatives only board the ship later, but they don’t know that this is a parting of life and death.

At 00:45, the lifeboat No. 7 on the starboard side was the first to be released, and the load of 65 people went up to only 28 people.

Then came lifeboats 6, 5, 3, all of which were not full.

The passengers’ precious escape opportunities were wasted in a panic.

The third-class passengers on the lower deck watched through portholes as one lifeboat after another were lowered to the surface of the sea, and began to become agitated.

Although the Titanic never issued a ship-wide announcement, they did not know any exact news, but a small number of people realized that the problem was serious and ran to the upper deck.

On the upper deck, third-class passengers found that the iron gate to the lifeboat deck was locked.

“Bastard, why are you keeping us down there? Open the door, open the door quickly…” The third-class passengers roared, and some violently shook the iron gates.

“It is forbidden to destroy the public property of the White Star Company.” The crew behind the iron gate hurriedly tried to maintain order, “Don’t worry, your boarding time has not yet arrived, it will be your turn after the first-class guests get on the ship, please put on life jackets first, women and children stand in front.” ”

“Why are we going to board the ship in the back, the passengers in the third class are not people, see your hell.”

The third-class passengers were so angry that they raised their chairs in unison and slammed through the barred gates, rushing to the lifeboat deck like a floodgate.

On the lifeboat deck, Ruth and her mother Ruth, the Countess, the Earl, the Countess, Madame Brown, Ms. Gordon, and seven crew members, are entering Lifeboat No. 1.

Carl lowered his value to curry favor with Raul, the fifth-class crew member in charge of boarding the ship, and wanted to make an exception to board the ship, but Raul flatly refused, so angry that Carl cursed in a low voice: “Dull Englishman.” ”

A small number of third-class passengers rushed onto the deck of the lifeboat and looked around for the lifeboat.

Soon, they found the No. 1 lifeboat that was loading people, and immediately ran over with a shout, broke through Raul’s obstruction, and climbed up with the lifeboat, causing the lifeboat to tilt to the side.

The ladies on board screamed in fright.

Carl saw that the scene suddenly fell into chaos and began to plan to board the lifeboat.

Carl signaled his entourage Lai Fujie behind him to push the incoming passengers towards Raul, leaving Raul with no time to care, and he himself pretended to help Raul stop the unauthorized passengers, but in fact he deliberately squeezed the passengers into the lifeboat as an innocent person.

In doing so, he can board the ship as a man, and save the face of a gentleman, because he is passive, helpless, and against his own intentions, and no one can blame him afterwards.

Ruth on the boat saw that Carl was pushed to the side of the lifeboat, and quickly pulled the golden turtle son-in-law on board with her right hand, but her other hand failed to grasp the side of the boat, and was dragged down by Carl’s weight, and her body suddenly fell forward.

Ruth’s eyes were quick and she immediately grabbed her mother, but Carl, who was in a hurry to get on the boat behind, suddenly squeezed Ruth, who was leaning forward, out of the lifeboat and fell straight to the sea.

“Ruth…”

Ruth, Carl, Countess, Countess Ross, Madame Bulun and others on the ship exclaimed in unison.

“Poof…”

Only listening to a muffled sound on the surface of the sea below, Ruth fell into the icy water.

Carl, Ruth, and several ladies in the lifeboat shouted to Ruth bitterly, and Mrs. Bulang shouted at Raul again and again: “Put down the lifeboat and go and save Miss Ruth.” ”

“I’m sorry, ma’am, I can’t.”

Raul was also miserable, he really couldn’t do it.

One is that there are only a dozen people on the boat, and it can’t be put down like this, and the second can’t be put down.

Passengers are swarming to the boat, the lifeboat loses its balance, and forced down can easily lead to a rollover, and everyone on board will fall into the sea.

“Ruth, Ruth…”

Carl’s head was blank, and he shouted at the sea like crazy, did he lose his beloved beauty like this, he was squeezed down by himself.

He got on board, but Ruth got off….

“Hurry up and find a way to save people…” the ladies exclaimed.

“No way. Below is a sea of ice, too late to save people. Several experienced crew members on the same ship shook their heads, “Even if the lifeboat is immediately lowered, it will take a few minutes to reach the surface, and she will have frozen to death by then.” ”

The survival time of a person immersed in water is closely related to the water temperature, and it decreases sharply as the water temperature decreases.

The water temperature is 5-10 degrees, and half of the people can survive for more than 1 hour; The water temperature is 2-5 degrees, and most people will not survive for more than 1 hour; When the water temperature is below 2 degrees, the average person can only tolerate it for a few minutes.

And Miss Ruth fell into ice water at about zero degrees, and she would be frozen alive and died in a few minutes.

Although they didn’t want to admit it, almost everyone understood that the crew was telling the cruel truth.

Ruth stared blankly at the blue-black sea below, had she lost her daughter’s familiar figure forever?

The height of more than ten meters and the noisy voices around her made it impossible for her to even hear her daughter’s miserable cry before she died.

She unreservedly poured all her heart and soul into her daughter, losing her daughter, what else is left … There is only endless pain and great trepidation for the rest of your life.

The daughter became the first victim of the Titanic, and the sudden cruelty of the accident made Ruth on the verge of collapse, she was like an empty shell that had lost her soul, and the Countess and Madame Bulang held her tightly left and right to prevent her from falling into the sea.

The chaos of Lifeboat No. 1 caught the attention of First Officer Murdoch, who immediately rushed over with several crew members to reinforce Raul.

“Bang bang.”

Murdoch pulled out his pistol and fired three shots into the air, deterring the influx of passengers, re-establishing order on boarding, and continuing to organize women and children to board the ship. The male passengers who boarded the lifeboats were pulled down one by one, but only Carl acquiesced.

Both Murdoch and Raul are embarrassed to kick Carl, who has just lost his fiancée, off the ship.

In a sense, Carl inherited the escape of his fiancée Ruth, and Ruth’s death was exchanged for his survival.

Murdoch silently gave a military salute under the sea, expressing White Star’s repentance for abandoning the first female passenger.

Ruth was indeed abandoned, and White Star did not have the ability or time to launch any rescue.

In the face of a ruthless catastrophe, how insignificant a person’s life is, abandonment becomes a helpless but natural thing.
