After noticing smoke on the horizon—a sign of an approaching ship—the passengers are swiftly engulfed in chaos as they discover they are being attacked by the German raider "Wolf." The scene escalates when the raider opens fire, leading to panic among the crew and passengers, who must scramble for lifeboats while dealing with the frightening reality of shellfire.
