We’re Sinking

We were given sea sick pills that if we needed them to take them and we had a girl with us and she... she was afraid of the water anyway and she was afraid of being seasick, most of us were... and so we were supposed to go in the evening and so she took her seasick pill before. We were only suppose to take it just before we sailed, I think, but she thought we were going to sail. Anyway, we didn’t sail, but she was sure we were going so she took a second one. This was when, the little incident of us sinking. She had... there were three bunks in this small little cabin and I supposed there were about 12 or 15 of us in it. So anyway, around midnight or something, she says, “Be calm girls, be calm, but we’re sinking!” and she says, “My hands in water, we’re sinking”. Course we all slept with a flashlight under our pillow. So we jumped up and those of us who were in the bunks, we bumped our heads cause we had about that much room. So we were saying, “Ouch” and other more expressive words and then the girl at the bottom, she put her foot on the ground and she took her flashlight and it was dry. In the meantime, the girl said, “We’re tipping, it’s getting a little... my arm is getting deeper, but be calm girls. Don’t panic. Be calm”. And she found out, in all the... in England and where ever, they always had a bucket of sand and a bucket of water in corridors and rooms and so on and the bucket of water was right beside her bed and her arm had dropped into it and that’s why she thought we were sinking. We didn’t have much sleep the rest of the night, we laughed so hard. But, she remembered to not panic. Keep calm.
