Jump Ship

Deep freeze
       Help please

             Man down
               Sea drown

                   Ice float
                    Wreck boat

                        Sink fast
                          Top mast

                             Life vest
                               Chance best

                                  Search team
                                    Bad dream

                                       Storm front
                                         Harms hunt

                                            Cold air
                                              Look there

                                                 Save who
                                                   Those two

                                                      Frost bite
                                                        All night

                                                          Wind roars
                                                            Rain pours

                                                              May day
                                                                Hope pray

                                                                   Ships chance
                                                                     Last dance

                                                                        Some died
                                                                          Most cried

Thanks again for your nice words however I had to pull this write from the contest because it stated only one Footle Only, so I wrote a new one for the contest called Black Friday
