Edwin left for the location where the ship had sunk within an hour after he received the news. Everyone tried to tell him to not go and stay in Vincardine but he didn't listen to anyone, not even Ruth.
Kevin, Rees, Lester, Ida and Raynold went along with him. They took a larger ship with them and also asked the neighbouring towns for help.
Edwin couldn't believe that every person on the ship died. He was hopeful of finding at least one soul who could tell him what really happened with that ship.
Ruth, Thea and Mr Welby were worried while Elsie and Eloise did their best to inform their people at work about the incident. But they also made sure that the news shouldn't reach the town yet.
They needed Edwin, and the exact reason for that unfortunate accident before the town got to know about it.
