Ans A Voyage Full of Adventure
- Vishal
Sea voyage was my dream. When I got an opportunity to go on my father's ship Trishna, I was thrilled. I was on board with my sister Rohini enroute on Philippines , which was carrying cargo for the victims of typhoon in the South China Sea. We enjoyed the voyage one day my father Captain Kumar was worried because the barometer reading had fallen steeply. Panic developed on the ship when the Radio officer informed that the Typhoon Elsie was deepening and would pass 70 miles away from our ship within 24 hours.
It was important for our ship to reach Mindao as people were straving there. By noon the weather deteriorated. Our ship rose high and tossed mercilessly. My father gave instructions to reduce speed and change direction. Soon alarm bells rang on board. People rushed towards Engine Room. It was a matter of great worry that water was gushing into the Trishna.
Chief engineer Bose announced that the engines have to be stopped as water would enter into the machinery.I suddenly remembered an incident in which we have saved the boat from drowning by tilting it . I suggested some idea to my father though it was risky but my father decided to do the same as there was no way left. Trishna was tilted to ome side, the hole in that side exposed at the chief officer and his man plugged the hole with wood and cement. Pumping operation began to dry the engine room . The ship was saved. Weather also turned calm. It was an adventures journey for me.
