It wasn't until the founding of the American Theater Company in 1752 that people changed this stereotype, but the original name of the American Theater Company was the London Comedians...

"Walker, when you settle down in New York, I will invite you to the party. How about you directing a play?"

Guggenheim said: "It would be better to let Walker act in the movie. I think he is very good at acting, enough to deceive the audience."

"Of course, but I want to set up a company first. Men should focus on their careers. Only women and children can be carefree."

Astor agreed very much, clapping his hands and applauding: "That's right! Walker, what you said is very good. I have tried to live a carefree life, but the trivial matters of the family and the business field do not allow me to do this." Do."

Guggenheim sighed: "Yes, I also want to concentrate on having fun, but the pressure exerted by the family is so heavy that I can't breathe."

Isidore said: "Gu Gen, you should be happy, you are a hundred times better than us, at least you don't have to work hard, you have endless money, and I slowly climbed up from the bottom."

Russell asked: "How does it feel to climb the ladder?"

"Tired! Very fucking tired!"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone looked at each other and laughed.

The other celebrities and nobles had already returned to their rooms to rest. Before they left, Ismay wrote an exchange note to everyone, meaning that with this note and the boat ticket, they could exchange 1 US dollars with him in the United States.

After all, it is impossible for celebrities and nobles to go to Ismay to ask for money in person. At most, they will send their assistants to get the money. But Ismay doesn't know them, so he made such an exchange note.

This is also Russell's idea for his nobles. After all, you need face, so you have to give face.

Russell was so thoughtful, and won the praise of the nobles, who invited him to sit at home when they had time.

Tommy and the others dined in the corner of the first-class restaurant. This was the most sumptuous dinner they had except for the luxurious set meal in the cargo hold.

Russell asked them to take the rest of the food back, and told them not to leave the gun. If there was an accident, they should come to the first-class cabin to find him immediately, without delaying a quarter of an hour.

They naturally dare not neglect. After tonight's performance, Tommy and others understand that as long as they follow the boss, there must be a bright future in the future, because the boss can chat and laugh happily with the top noble tycoons by virtue of his white body. get on.

Time flies, and it's 9:40 in a blink of an eye.

All the noble tycoons were also a little tired, and after the chat was over, they all returned to their rooms to rest.

First class.

Ruth's mood was much more stable. After all, seeing her relatives die before her eyes was unacceptable to anyone.

Mrs. Brown stayed with her all the time, and did not return to the room because of sleepiness.

And Madeleine and Ada went back to their room early to rest.

Pushing the door open, Russell saw Mrs. Brown and Ruth sitting on the sofa chatting.

And Ruth was pinching a cigarette in her hand. When she saw Russell, she subconsciously hid the cigarette behind her back and looked at him with red eyes.

Mrs. Brown stood up and said with a smile, "Since you're back, I can go back to my room and sleep."

"Molly, thank you."

"You're welcome, I'm so happy that you're the only one who calls me Molly."

Russell said with a smile: "You don't mind employees letting the boss do things."

"Mr. Walker, we all know the secret, so we are equals."

"No, I want to thank you for your kindness, Molly. If it weren't for your generosity, I wouldn't be able to board the ship."

Mrs. Brown smiled, "At that time, I was just scared and completely out of ideas."

"Haha, okay, I'll see you off."

"No, you can chat with Ruth."

Russell sent Mrs. Brown to the door. Anyway, her room was not far away, just a few steps away.

close the door.

Russell turned to look at Ruth, who was extinguishing her cigarette in a panic.

"I, I'm not in a good mood, I just want to relieve..."

Russell went to sit beside her, put his arm around her shoulders, and said, "Don't worry, I don't mind. I know you're sad..."

When Ruth heard this, she lay on top of him and wept bitterly.

Both Brown and Ada have identities, and Ruth knew that they accompanied her to give Russell face, otherwise, who would accompany a girl who has no title of nobility and lost all her support?

Because of this, she didn't show her weakness in front of the ladies, but when she heard Russell's words, she couldn't bear it anymore.

Russell didn't say too many comforting words, but told her clearly, don't worry about not being relied on in the future, he is her relying on.

Ruth's crying gradually weakened, and she fell asleep on top of him.

Russell carried her to the bunk, and lay down to rest too.

Doomed not to sleep tonight, but he must maintain enough energy, so he also took a nap.

--

Captain Smith came to the communication room and met Philip, the telegraph operator.

"Mr. Smith, many ships have sent ice reports and asked about the situation of the robbers. How should I reply?"

Smoking his pipe, Smith said, "Just send a distress signal, and leave the rest alone."

"Okay, Philip, thank you for your understanding. Something went wrong on my boat. I will give you some compensation when I get ashore."

"Thank you, Mr. Smith, as long as there are no robbers on board, that's good news."

Smith nodded and turned to leave.

He found a Murdoch on duty in the cab.

Instructed: "Let the lookout watch carefully, our speed is very fast, as long as tonight passes, the speed will drop tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Mr. Smith. The robber..."

Smith said: "The robbers are just a game played by the nobles. Let us cooperate as much as possible. As long as there are no mistakes, we can play whatever they want."

Captain Smith then returned to the lounge.

On duty tonight is one Murdoch and six Moody.

Since it was already 11:30, most of the passengers had already fallen asleep, and only a few passengers stood on the railing and tasted cigarettes, as if they were enjoying the emptiness brought about by loneliness.

Although the two watchmen on the observation deck were wearing overcoats, they were still shivering from the cold in the cold night.

They had to rub their hands together to keep warm, looking up from time to time.

"Mr Murdoch told us to cheer up."

"I've been mentally frozen, and I can't sleep even if I want to sleep."

"I hope the people who change shifts in the second half of the night can come sooner, I'm really afraid of being frozen to death!"

"Have a sip of wine to keep warm."

"Okay... have you seen the telescope?"

The two took a sip of wine and stared at each other.

"Oh! Petos took the binoculars away during his shift."

"Then I'll go down and look for him, just keep an eye on him."

"..."

After Russell's reminder, Smith found the locked telescope a long time ago and handed it over to the lookout to avoid such a small mistake, but Naihe still made a mistake...

Just as a lookout was about to go down, Fleet grabbed hold of him.

"What's wrong."

Fleet stared blankly ahead, and found two black shadows the size of desks in the distance, which were growing in size as the ship continued to move forward.

Fleet's lips trembled: "Ice, iceberg..."

The lookout looked up and shouted hastily, "Ring the bell! Call!"

Dangdang Dangdang!

Three alarm bells sounded.

Fleet turned around and picked up the phone to broadcast to the cab.

"Quickly answer the phone, damn it, hurry up!!"

In the cab, Moody heard the phone ring and walked over to answer it.

"Hey?"

"Iceberg! There is an iceberg ahead!"

Immediately, Moody was stunned, he hurriedly turned his head and shouted: "Iceberg!!"

A pair of Murdoch was stunned when he heard the shout, and immediately ordered to ring the car bell, shouting: "Slow down all engines! Full left rudder! Reverse the No. [-] propeller!! Hurry up!"

When the lookout found the iceberg, it was about 400 meters away. When Murdoch ordered the vehicle to reverse, the iceberg was less than 300 meters away from the Titanic...

slow down!

Full left rudder!

Propeller No. [-] in reverse! !

The chief engineer of the boiler room, Joseph Bell, urgently ordered a ceasefire and back up!

"Now! Start the reverse engine! Quick!!"

Then Bell ran over to push his subordinates away, and turned the valve himself...

Since the Titanic is 269 meters long, the hull is too large, and the rudder is too small, and the forward speed is too fast to stop and turn in time...

sensation!

creak...

The Titanic collided with an iceberg, and ice the size of a gas tank fell to the deck, nearly killing a smoking passenger on the railing.

The two lookouts stared at the huge iceberg in stunned amazement, and couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

I can't help feeling a little fortunate that the ship didn't hit it head-on, otherwise they would be dead now.

At night, 11:40.

Due to the violent impact, the rivet at the bottom of the starboard side of the bow was loosened and broken, the water-draining partition was partially cracked, and countless small and narrow cracks appeared in the five independent bottom compartments in front...

For a while, sea water poured in continuously.

Erupt!

The workers who were burning coal at the bottom of the boat were stunned for a moment, and soon saw sea water spraying in from the side panels, and the powerful impact knocked the workers over.

"The sealed cabin is closed, run!"

There are 16 independent sealed compartments at the bottom of the Titanic. According to Andrews, even if there is a leak in the sealed compartment, the ship will not sink, because the sealed compartment has been sealed separately, and seawater cannot penetrate into other places.

It is unsinkable!

But Andrews overestimated the careerists, and even more overestimated the quality of steel in 1910.

When the Titanic was built, the steel used was doped with many impurities, and even the rivets had glass grains.

This caused some qualitative changes when she sailed in the icy sea water.

If there were no external factors, she might be able to make it to New York.But once there is an external force, these inferior steels will crack, and under the deep sea surface, due to the huge pressure, they will gradually collapse...

The unsleeping passengers put on their coats, stepped onto the deck, and stared at the iceberg in astonishment.

After hitting the iceberg, the Titanic still did not stop, but coasted forward for nearly [-] meters.

In the cabin, the passengers were surprised by the noise, but they did not panic.

They thought they had encountered a storm or hit a rock.

Chapter 98 Never sink?guilty jumping into the sea

In the third-class cabin, Tommy woke up from his sleep, grabbed the pistol under the pillow, and looked up.

He got up and opened the cabin door, looked out the corridor, and saw that many passengers walked out of the cabin door like him.
