The cruise ship rapidly approached the other, stopping at a distance of dozens of meters, where Vermilion Bird had people connect the two cruise ships with an iron anchor.
An experienced sailor immediately stepped forward, loudly interjecting, "No, we can't connect them together."
William Cole looked at him, "Why not?"
The sailor hurriedly explained, "This cruise ship has collided with an iceberg, and we don't know the specifics of its condition."
"If we use iron anchors to connect both cruise ships, should the one that collided with the iceberg be at risk of sinking, it would pull us down with it."
"If we need to go over there, just using a rope to connect us will do."
"In case of an emergency, we can cut the rope at any time, which won't drag us under."
"Also, we should have our cruise ship back off because once the other ship sinks, it will create whirlpools nearby and there will be undercurrents under the water."
