Hiru stopped pumping the water out of the boar. There was too much water coming in. He was too tired and too cold. He had been pumping for several hours now, but every few minutes another wave broke over the boat. He could not pump fast enough. For the last few hours, he had stopped pumping every ten minutes to make a Mayday call on the radio. He heard the hurricane warnings, and he knew that the hurricane was only a couple of hours away. He knew the end was coming. The Elizabeth was string, but not strong enough to go through a hurricane. The boat would break up when the hurricane hit it.
