阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

　　This morning, Bob Lee left home very early, against the wishes of his father, to see the ships at Port Richards, he saw a small fire at one end of the S. S. PANAMA. There was nobody else around, and in no time, the fire grew dangerously big.

　　Young Bob stood at the foot of the stairway up to the ship and shouted at the top of his voice. He woke up the port workers living nearby, who were enjoying a Sunday morning in bed.

　　The S.S. PANAMA was one of six big ships in port at the time, all of which were within twenty-five meters of old buildings, shops and houses, of wood. What is more, the S.S. PANAMA was carrying oil, as well as paint, and paper from ports in the Far East.

　　The fire burned a lot of boxes of paper, which is why it spread very quickly. That end of the ship is now black with smoke, but thanks to Bob Lee, the fire did not reach the paint or the oil.

　　Bob was also lucky because his father was pleased rather than angry with him.
