“I want to speak to you about how my family and I feel about what happen aboard this ship.”
The young writer flabbergasted knowing of Victoria and her family’s uppity attitude, “Certainly.”
The extremely wealthy family the Warrens with their beautiful, spoiled daughter named Tiffany. Another, I am better than everyone else brat, discontented she is no one special aboard the ship. Unlike on her father’s plantation where everyone caters to her needs if not, they experience the wrath of a rich man. Especially their slaves, knowing her words can command the whip.
Spoiled girl complaining the storm had ruined one of her favorite dresses. Twenty years of age, long blond-haired daddy’s girl given everything in life. Heading to London, strutting about the deck in lavish dresses imported from Paris, prominently displaying the top portion of her abundant breasts.

Captain stood like a pillar of stone as they gathered, “I know you are all paying passengers. Normally I would not ask passengers to assist. However, we’re in a dire situation here with the ship in such fragile condition, short six crewmen. You are our last hope if we are to survive this storm. All our lives depend on each other. Grab your coats and put them on, we are in for a long cold, wet night. Help the best you can by doing what the crew and I ask of you.”
