As soon as Lili'fey announces the fact, the captain springs up the Jacob's ladder to join her in the crow's nest.  After a moment, she nods.  "That's it," she says.  She then turns to the crew.  "Almost there!  Just two more hours."<br/><br/>For the first one-and-a-half of those hours, everything goes relatively smoothly.  All the while, though, the ship is sinking.  The water in the hold continues to grow.  Some crew members are diverted from the bucket chain to move certain crates on deck.  Still, the water just continues to keep growing.  Holes are sprouting further up and down the ship, out of reach of Taizee and Lang.  The damage is more extensive than first thought.<br/><br/>Just as a hole the size of a golf ball sprouts in the hold, the captain groans.  "Alright," she barks, "new plan.  All non-essential personnel abandon the ship.  I and the swimmers will get the ship as close as we can.  You two," she tells Taizee and Lang, "get off of that.  I need you to transport some of the crew off the vessel however you can."<br/><br/>When she locates Scathatch, she gives her the same directive.  The longboats are loaded with supplies and a few of the crew before being loaded into the water.  A few more are given bouyant supplies and dropped into the water.  The Captain then marches to the helm and takes over, sending the helmsman on duty overboard with an empty barrel.
