A Stormy Adventure Questions & Answers

Question 2: Why was caption Kumar worried?
Answer: Caption Kumar was worried because barometer had fallen steeply which was the indicator of the bad weather conditions.
Question 3: What was the effect of bad weather on the Trishna?
Answer: High waves rolled the ship mercilessly.
A steel angle of the gangway had pierced the ship side and water started entering the engine room.
Question 4: What suggestion did Vishal have to offer to his father?
Answer: Vishal suggested his father to tilt the ship to one side to expose the leakage so that it could be easier to plug the hole.

Question 8: Do you think it was easy for Captain Kumar to accept the risky suggestion given by Vishal? What might be going on to his mind? Why do you think he finally accepted the suggestion?
Answer: No, I don’t think it was easy for Captain Kumar to accept the risky suggestion given by Vishal. He might be thinking that the ship may even turn over or may sink in the Pacific Ocean. But he still accepted it because water had entered the engine room and he was in ‘do or die’ situation as there was no other way out to save Trishna.
Question 9: ‘You’re quite a seaman really…’ says the Chief Officer about Vishal. Would you call Vishal a seaman? Give reason.
Answer: Yes, I would call Vishal a seaman because as a real seaman, he didn’t get frightened and gathered all his courage. He went to his father and suggested an idea to save Trishna.
