"We're urgently repairing the damage, and we've sent out a distress signal; a rescue ship will arrive soon! Everyone, please stay calm!"
The ship won't capsize, nor will it sink. The damage was caused by hitting a reef, which only disrupted the drainage system. That means the ship is safe, except for being temporarily unable to sail.
"Hooray, hooray!" Many people, who were panicking like headless flies, immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Jiang Xuanqi, who had been rushing around just moments before, also let out a sigh of relief, deflating like a burst balloon and slumping over the side of the lifeboat.
As if to prove the captain's words, indeed, after the initial jolting, the ship had stopped rocking. The hull showed no signs of sinking, clearly indicating it would not go down easily.
