as he flees to a lifeboat with his mother and sister before it is lowered. Another massive explosion in the boiler room causes Ernst to be trapped by a falling metal bar in a flooding room. Campbell jumps in and helps him escape by using a metal rod as a lever and they make their way through the ship, swimming through flooded rooms, vents, as they are trapped in a flooding grate, as Campbell screams desperately, while Ernst breaks the grate open, as they swim through flooded corridors, eventually making it outside by swimming through a porthole and climbing aboard an empty lifeboat that was already lowered into the water, but still attached by its ropes to the davits. Campbell and Ernst notice a lifeboat filled with 30 people getting pulled into the still spinning propellers. They watch in horror as the boat and its occupants are chopped to pieces by the propeller. A boat nearby, with Townsend aboard, throws them a rope, at their request. Ernst decides to sacrifice himself, despite Campbell's protests that they both can be pulled to safety, he throws her into the sea after kissing her, as she grabs the rope. Soon after, the lifeboat's ropes break and it begins to also get sucked into the propellers, Ernst staying aboard the lifeboat as it is chopped by the blades, killing him, as Townsend comforts a traumatised Campbell. A few moments later, the Britannic rapidly rolls over, causing her funnels and other objects on the decks such as chairs to tumble into the sea as she sinks to the bottom of the Kea Channel. HMS Victoria arrives to rescue the survivors. Reflecting on her experience, Campbell quotes the poem "Roll on, Thou Deep Dark Blue Ocean" from Childe Harold's Pilgrimage by Lord Byron.
