How will the narrator operate the boat? the sailor
Answers
Answer:
A torrent of green and white water broke over the ship, the narrator's head smashed into the wheel and he was aware of flying over board and sinking below the waves.
Answer:
As the narrator took the wheel, Herb and Larry began pumping the water like madmen. With the starboard side bashed open,every wave was sending water into the boat so the narrator had to cover the gaping holes with a canvas and secure the waterproof hatch. More problems arose when the hand pumps started to block up with the debris floating around the cabins and the electric pump suffered a short circuit leading to an alarming rise in the water level. The two spare hand pumps had been wrenched overboard so the narrator used another electric pump which was connected to and out-pipe and made to work. They spent the night pumping out water and on the morning of January 3, the pumps had the water level sufficiently under control to enable those on board to take rest in two hours' rotation after the whole night's vigil. The narrator was single-mindedly engaged in delivering his family and the ship to safety in this way.
