Hit the rocks.
One of the dangers of night sailing is to hit the rocks.
In fact, in the entire course of HNA, hitting the reef is considered to be a very probable event. Because the reef has not only the bright reef above the water surface, but also the hidden reef hidden under the water surface.
In the daytime, if the light is good, you can see the shadow of the underwater reef and you can avoid it in time. But now it was not completely dawn, and the sea was dim. I couldn't see where the reef was. I hit it directly and directly hit the reef.
The next thing brought by touching the reef was stranding-the ship was stuck in the reef.
Explained in detail, that is, the bottom of the ship is below the reef. After hitting the reef, it continues to move forward under the action of inertia. Finally, the bow is held up, the displacement is reduced, the buoyancy is less than gravity, and it can no longer continue to move.
and unable to move, it means that... the ghost ship that was finally thrown away will not catch up soon.
Thinking of this, everyone on the deck couldn't help but feel cold. The passengers in the bottom cabin were awakened by the violent shaking, and ran to the deck to see the situation. After they found that they hit the reef, they were all ashamed.
"Damn, you bastard, how to drive the boat!" The first officer, Williams, reacted and ran to the rudder position in three steps and two steps. Raising his fist would beat the helmsman.
"Will you stop me, Williams, let go of Tomya, we have not failed yet!" Captain Morgan shouted.
"Well, Captain?" The first officer Williams subconsciously let go and looked at Captain Morgan. At this time, Captain Morgan's face was abnormally blood red, and the blood vessels in the temple were bursting, and his expression was crazy and firm.
"Captain, we hit the reef, are we still saved?" Williams said. Although it is a question, in his heart, he already has a negative answer. He followed Captain Morgan for a short period of time. Knowing a lot of sailing skills, he really didn't think that he could get out of trouble quickly after hitting the reef.
"Some, there is a rescue." Captain Morgan made a loud voice, and his voice was very firm. "Today is a full moon, there will be a tide. If the time is correct, it will be shortly after dawn. When the time comes, the sea will rise and the boat will restart. Float. So... as long as we make the boat light enough, we can get rid of the reef."
Williams was stunned. I really didn't expect such a method.
In fact, Captain Morgan did not expect that when he hit the reef just now, he was desperate. But when he was desperate, a voice suddenly reminded him behind his back: "Wait for the tide!"
Captain Morgan reacted violently. He is now driving offshore and has a high probability of hitting the reef. This is a disadvantage, but one benefit is that it will be affected by the tide. Although he didn't know the reason, during decades of sailing, he knew that the seawater would rise twice and fall twice every day. At the beginning and the middle of the month, the rise of seawater is even more alarming.
Today is the middle of the month!
Thinking of this, Captain Morgan turned back to find the person who reminded him that he could not find it at all.
Time is limited and I have no time to think about it. Captain Morgan quickly shouted at Williams who was about to hit someone, and then began to give orders, hoping to win the last chance: "Everyone, give me everything you can throw on the boat. Throw it into the sea! Hurry! Don’t want to die, just move!"
As soon as these words fell, the sailors and passengers on the deck were stunned, and then all rushed into the cabin, and the next countless debris was thrown out.
Tables and chairs, benches, pots and pans, broken iron hooks, boots and clothes, broken bedding, repairing ships to prepare wood, iron ingots...
Not many times, the scattered debris drifted across the entire sea surface.
It was dawn, the sun was rising, the sea water was fluctuating, and it was indeed rising.
Captain Morgan roared and continued to direct the sail to adjust the direction to adapt to the wind, so as to force the ship to retreat and break away from the reef.
"Squeaky!"
The hull of the "Naru Rongguang Fisherman" made an incomparable sound, as if it would fall apart at any time, but it did get rid of the reef a little bit.
Everyone cheered, and there was a smile on Captain Morgan's face.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Captain! Ghost ship!"
As soon as everyone on the deck turned their heads, they saw a dark ghost ship appear all over the sea in the distance. During the time of delaying hitting the reef, the ghost ship apparently did not stop at all, and it caught up with it.
But there is still a distance.
There is still a distance!
Everyone thinks very well at this moment, as long as the "Naru Rongguang Fisherman" gets rid of the reef and resumes voyage before the ghost has traveled this distance, the ghost ship can never catch up with the hull that has been lightened again. of. But...if Ghost took over this distance before catching up before getting rid of the reef, then everything would rest.
Who will be faster?
Life and death time! The most dangerous moment is here!
All of a sudden, everyone was crazy, whether it was a sailor or a passenger, all ran to the sail, with red eyes to help maneuver the sail, so that the boat could get rid of the reef and accelerate backward.
"Squeaky squeaky squeaky!"
"Naru Rongguang Fisherman" shakes wildly, exiting the reef a little bit, a little bit...
Victory seems to be in sight.
But... all of a sudden!
"Click, boom!"
"Naru Rongguang Fisherman" shocked~EbookFREE.me~ suddenly tilted to the left!
"Da da da!"
A wet sailor ran up from the cabin with despair on his face, shouting: "Captain, Captain! The left side of the ship is penetrated by stones! The water is leaking! Can't stop!"
This!
Everyone on the deck instantly petrified, and Captain Morgan's expression was also stiff.
"What, what do you say!" Captain Morgan didn't seem to listen to the sailors at all.
The sailor wiped the seawater on his face and shouted: "The left side of the bottom of the ship is penetrated by stones! The water is leaking! Can't stop it! If you don't want to stop it, you will have to overturn the ship!"
"Kaka Kaka..."
With the sailor's words, the ship leaned more and more towards the left, and it was about to capsize—obviously, the sailor's words were not exaggerated at all.
"Damn it!" Captain Morgan scolded, shouting: "If you can't block it, you must block it, or you will die!"
"But it really can't be blocked!" The sailor shouted holding his hair, "The wood that blocked the boat is lost, how can it be blocked!"
"Then the right side of the bottom cabin is also cut out for me to let the seawater completely fill the bottom cabin, and then seal the bottom and penultimate passages."
"In that way, we cannot leave the reef, we can only stop here." Mariner said.
"I know!" Captain Morgan shouted, and his eyes were red. "Brush" pulled out the long sword around his waist and turned his head to look at the ghost ship that was getting closer and closer to the sea. "This luck, since it's away If you can’t, you can’t do it! I want to see, what is this ghost ship? And why keep chasing us!
"Uh……"
