Sinking of the Titanic

The great ship, the Titanic, sailed for New York from Southampton on April 10th, 1912. She was 　26 　1316 passengers and a crew (船员) of 891. At that time, however, she was not only the largest 　27 　that had ever been built, but was considered to be unsinkable, 　28 　she had 16 watertight compartments (密封舱). Even 　29 　two of these were flooded, she would still be able to float. The 　30 　sinking of this great ship will always be remembered, for she went down on her first voyage (航程) with a 　31 　loss of life.

Four days after 　32 　out, while the Titanic was sailing 　33 　the icy waters of the North Atlantic, a huge iceberg was suddenly 　34 . After the alarm had been given, the great ship turned sharply to 　35 　a direct hit. The Titanic turned just 　36 　time, narrowly missing the big wall of ice which rose over 100 feet out of the water beside her. Suddenly there was a sound from 　37 , and the captain went down to see 　38 　had happened. The noise had been so weak that 　39 　thought the ship had been damaged. Below, the captain realized, to his 　40 , that the Titanic was 　41 　rapidly, for five of the sixteen watertight compartments had already been flooded! The 　42 　to abandon the ship was given 　43 　hundreds of people jumped into the icy water. As there were not enough 　44 　for everybody, 1,500 people 　45　 .
