The expedition crew are adrift at sea after encountering engine trouble. They pin their hopes for rescue to messenger pigeons, who manage to bring in help... and even more trouble!
With the boat's engine stopped, 
we were left adrift on the sea.
Da der Bootsmotor nicht mehr lief,
trieben wir hilflos auf dem Meer.
Con el motor detenido,
quedamos a la deriva.
Con el motor sin funcionar,
quedamos a la deriva.
Le moteur en panne,
notre bateau continue à dériver.
Con il motore del battello in panne,
eravamo rimasti alla deriva in mare aperto.
Com o motor do navio sem funcionar,
 fomos deixados vagando no mar.
Двигатель лодки заглох,
и мы просто дрейфовали в море.
