Answer» At 6 p.m. on second January 1977 it appeared that the storm had calmed down. The wind stopped blowing and the sky grew dark. A roaring sound was heard. A huge cloud was seen closing on the ship. But the cloud turned out to be a huge wave. By the time it approached the ship the roaring transformed into a thunder. The torrent of water exploded on the deck. There was water everywhere on the ship. It had entered the lower parts of the ship. The captain went down to find Lary and Herb trying to pump out the water. He plugged the big hole from where the water was gushing in. Debris floating around the cabins had blocked the hand pumps. Only one electric pump was in working order. He connected it tp the out-pipe- and it started working. With these efforts he was able to check the flooding of water in the ship. |
