(i) I assume the ship was trying to reach Egypt, until Egyptian Navy started firing.

#2 Ever been on one of those ships that had things like no toilets and bilges and no place to get away from the surging stink and the steel bulkheads? Dark below decks and more rats than dinner?

Say praise Allah and puke over the side.
