The boy grew stronger and the two continued to travel side by side. One day, when leaving Paris, the boy and bear stepped onto the ship known as the Titanic. They were both excited about the trip and being on the boat. One night the bear and Master were woken up and forced onto the main deck. The Titanic was sinking and they had to get on the lifeboat.
