Miss Evans (After F. M. Mainwaring)
On a beautiful afternoon, in a year now long gone, a big ship set out on its first voyage from England to America. It was a new ship called the “Titanic”.
For two days the “Titanic” went on its way over the sea. Then it entered an ice – field and hit by an iceberg.
Everyone had to come out of their rooms. Men were putting the lifeboats over the sides of the ship, down into the water. Then all the men helped the women and the children to get into the lifeboats.
There was not very much time left. The iceberg was on one side of the ship. It was like a high, white wall.
A woman came to the side of the ship. Her two children were in one of the lifeboats, and she was very much afraid.
“My children are in the lifeboat. I must go with them! ” the woman called to the people in the lifeboat.
“There’s no more room (место, пространство).” someone called out. “If we take one more, the lifeboat will sink (тонуть)”.
There was a young woman in the lifeboat called Miss Evans. When she heard the woman calling, she stood up in the lifeboat and touched one of the men on the arm.
“Let me get back on to the ship,” she said. “Let that woman take my place. I have no children.”
“The ship is sinking,” said the man. “You know that?”
“Yes,” said Miss Evans, “I know that.”
There was no time to talk. People helped Miss Evans to get back on to the ship. Very soon after that there was a great noise, and the “Titanic” went down under the water.
