Answer 2

• The narrator decided to slow down the ship to protect it from bad and stormy  weather. He dropped the storm jib and lashed heavy mooring rope across the stern  of the ship. Then, they double–lashed everything. They carried their life-raft drill,  attached lifelines, donned life jackets and oilskins.

• To check the flooding of the water, the narrator put a waterproof hatch which  covered the gaping holes. This diverted the water flow to the side. His hand pumps  were blocked due to debris and his one electric pump was short-circuited. He found  a hand pump and a spare electric pump. He connected the electric pump to the out  pipe and started it.
