ignored. Some men put their hands up, trying futilely to keep the 5 tons of
boat 15 from crushing them.
Fred Barrett, the stoker, gets out his knife and leaps to the after falls,

ROSE

GRACIE
(staring at her bedraggled state)
Yes, miss... there are still a couple of boats all the way forward. This

Jack grabs her hand and they sprint past Gracie, with Tommy and Fabrizio

others run by.
